About dozen of colonies along with Himayat Sagar and Osman Sagar lakes are suffering from harsh conditions of water scarcity since one month. Various water supply agencies like Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWSSB) took over the responsibility of drinking water supply to all rural areas inside the ORR from April 1, 2017. All the households get the water supply 2 3 times a week under the Rural Water Supply Scheme (RWSS) and also from available borewells. Conditions of various big villages like Kismatpur, Himayatsagar (partly), Hydershakot, Peeram Chervu, Gandamguda, Neknampura, Puppalaguda, Khanapur, Narsingi and Manikonda worsens after the takeover by HMWSSB.

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...

Due to change in climate, Malaysia has been experiencing the frequent drought conditions, and the level at the reservoir has dropped down to an unprecedented level. Singapore’s water supply is at stake. Recently, an image of Linggiu Reservoir at 25% capacity was posted by Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong on his Facebook, along with a comment requesting people to conserve water. Still the supply is upon the mercy of the weather. Singapore already coined the idea of recycling water in the early 1970s. However, the first experiment got failed due to high costs and technology issues the pilot treatment plant was closed down only after a year. The fact which is undeniable is that Singapore is a small country without natural resources. The increasing issue of water could become the critical agenda between the politics as well as relations between Singapore and its neighbor country Malaysia. The expensive desalination process wouldn’t give any relief no matter how much the country...

30 towns of states of   Telangana   and   Andhra Pradesh   are moaning in the thirst of drinking water as the water levels have dropped to the alarming level of 64 tmc feet in the two major reservoirs of Srisailam and Nagarjunasagar. The Krishna River Management Board (KRMB) has allocated only 4 tmc water against the requirement of 5 tmc feet water to extinguish thirst of about one crore people in the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) limits. Every town has the dependency upon the fresh inflows in the left and right canals of Nagarjunasagar which is further dependent upon both sides of river Krishna. The release of water from Nagarjunasagar got delayed as there was no water release from Srisailam dam. Agriculture demand has also risen due to the ongoing Rabi season and farmers have also started disporting water in every manner they can. On January 10, 2017, there was a shortage of 6.16 tmc feet water from the total available water as stated by ...

VISAKHAPATNAM: Instead of beach beautification, prominent Vizag beaches are turning obnoxious with every passing day. After garbage and litter and direct disposal of sewerage into sea at the RK Beach area, now, untreated sewerage and dirty water from resorts and colonies are being directly dumped into the sea stretch from Rushikonda to Sagarnagar. Trenches have been dug for the purpose by a resort at Rushikonda Beach and by the Sagarnagar colony residents at Sagarnagar beach for the purpose. This has become a major turnoff for tourists, especially foreigners who like to go surfing at Rushikonda in that particular area. Besides, water pollution is also endangering the lives of fish and other aquatic creatures. A few days ago, regular beach goers noticed a trench being dug in front of a private resort adjacent to the Coast Guard office. Soon dirty water and sewage started flowing into the sea barely 100 metres away. Sources from the Waveriders Surf School said sinc...

HYDERABAD : The recent spate of moderate to heavy rains in the city may have boosted the groundwater levels by at least half a metre, but a new report reveals that the water thus recharged is highly contaminated with fluorides, nitrates and large quantities of iron. A report on the state's groundwater profile by the Central Groundwater Board (CGWB) says harmful chemicals are present in the water beyond the permissible limits. "It is bad news for the people as the report mentions a rise in the nitrate levels in the water. The basic source of nitrates in water sources is from sewerage , which seeps from improperly built septic tanks," Dr Shakeel Ahmed, chief scientist, National Geophysical Research Institute (NGRI), told TOI.

Sewage treatment plant ( Industrial STP System ) helps in removing contaminants from wastewater and household effluent, both runoff (effluents) and domestic. It includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce an environmentally safe fluid waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm fertilizer). Effluent Treatment Plant is used to make water more acceptable for a desired end-use. Our Commercial Effluent Treatment Plants ( Industrial ETP System ) covers the mechanisms and processes used to treat waters that have been contaminated in some way by anthropogenic industrial or commercial activities prior to its release into the environment or its re-use. Most industries produce some wet waste although recent trends in the developed world have been to minimise such production or recycle such waste within the production p...

GURGAON: MCG is now going to install a low-capacity sewage treatment plant (STP) and effluent treatment plant (ETP) in every village that comes under its jurisdiction.
