Water ATM Proposal

After watching the success of Water ATM’s nationwide, we are planning to set up Water ATM’s across the various parts of the country. Our idea will be an action to curb the water crisis in various remote areas which have low reservoir storages and groundwater levels. These ATMs are solar-powered and a decentralised drinking water plant based on reverse osmosis has been set up in this area to provide pure water through these ATMs. As we are already the manufacturers of Reverse Osmosis Plants, it would be cost effective to build up the Water ATMs.
Basic Objective: To reduce the water scarcity problem in various parts of the country.
With the increase in the number of population, the demand for water is also increasing. Many cities faces a severe water crisis almost throughout the year, especially during the summer months. To reduce this shortage of water problem, we coined the idea of setting up of water ATMs in various rural as well as urban areas.
How water ATMs work?
We have water-ATMs which run on electric power as well as solar energy that is sustainable and totally inexhaustible. A decentralised water plant is set up as the main plant that purifies the water through reverse osmosis and a tanker filled with 500 litre of pure water is installed on the top of each ATM. People draw water from these ATMs using smart cards. These smart cards can be recharged at the main treatment plant. Whenever the level of water in any of the tanker reduces to 200 litres, a message is sent to the main server automatically and these tanks are again refilled. At one point of time, a customer can withdraw up to 20 litres of water.


How will water ATMs help?
These ATMs will be set up in resettlement colonies where the people face the maximum shortage of water. Also, the concept of buying water will also ensure that people use water judiciously and do no waste it.
The water ATMs will provide pure drinking water. The residents in such colonies at present do not get piped water supply and the groundwater is unfit for consumption.

Cyber crooks create fake Delhi Jal Board site

NEW DELHI: If you recently paid your water bills online, your money may have landed in the pockets of cyber crooks. The Delhi Jal Board has lodged a complaint against a fake department website, very similar to the real one, that may have been used to dupe consumers. A source said that the fake website was blocked after DJB's chief engineer approached the crime branch. The team of cyber cell experts is investigating the case and an FIR under the information technology (66A) Act has been registered, a senior police officer said. The fake website, www.delhijalboard .in, looks remarkably like the original website. The crooks have also managed to forge the home ministry and Delhi government logos, police sources said. The fake website contained data from the original website and had options for direct bill payments. Sources said the Internet Service Provider was contacted for more details and to block the fake website. Cops are now trying to trace the IP address of the website through

Pollution control board directs meat complex to repair effluent treatment plant

PANAJI: The Goa State Pollution Control Board (GSPCB) on Monday directed the Goa Meat Complex to repair the existing effluent treatment plant (ETP), which treats the waste water generated by the meat complex while slaughtering animals. The board also said that failure to comply with the directions will force the GSPCB to withdraw the consent to operate under the Water Act. The GSPCB held a personal hearing with a representative of the meat complex. Board members highlighted the findings of the inspection report which stated that the ETP is not functioning. Speaking to TOI, GSPCB chairman Jose Manuel Noronha said that the inspection report states that the chemical oxygen limit has increased to 2,500 mg/litre against the permissible limit of 250 mg/litre. "It is ten times higher than the permissible limit," he added. He also said that bio-chemical oxygen limit has gone up to 850 mg/litre against the permissible limit of 30mg/liter. "This is more than 30% higher then permi

Water level rise in reservoirs of Kerala

With the heavy rain in the recent days Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) has seen a rise in level of water in reservoirs by 2 percent raising the toll from 72% to 74%. As the water level increased, it made possible to produce from 2,985.2 mu (million unit) of electricity on the first day to 3,045.231 mu on the third day with the rising trend on 4 th day too. It is observed for the first time that the water storage level has risen to the extent that the Pampa and Kakki reservoirs has seen the rise in water level by 5 percent within a single day. Even the Kundal reservoir was operated at its full capacity and the Sholayar dam saw a rose by 1 percent.
