sewage toxifying ground water

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.

water harvesting in villages

NASHIK: Gitanjali Avhad, the first woman sarpanch of the Ahmednagar district was recently selected by the state government to be a part of a study tour on water harvesting. Avhad, the sarpanch of Chincholi village, was selected for the tour on the basis of her work in her jurisdiction. She is the only woman in the team of 30 sarpanchs from across the state who will be a part of this study tour.
"I was informed recently that I was selected in the team of 30 sarpanchs in the state for a study tour on water harvesting. Of the 30, 15 will be going to south for studying water harvesting there and 15 will be going to north. I am the first lady sarpanch to be selected out of the three other lady sarpanchs from the Ahmednagar district," Avhad said.

tmc unequal water distribution

Thane: The NCP has threatened to protest the TMC's skewed water distribution formula where it has left residents of Kalwa, Mumbra and Diva residents to face cuts for over three days while neighbouring Thane enjoys lesser curtailments. The development starved enclaves of Kalwa, Mumbra and Diva have been forced to go without water for over three days after the MIDC recently imposed 60-hour0-long cuts following directives from the state irrigation department.

Waste Water, Effluents, Sewage and squatters threaten Hindon

The Hindon river starts as Shivaliks from Saharanpur crosses through six districts, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Meerut, Baghpat, Ghaziabad and Noida. Water of Hindon river is then further taken into Yamuna which includes waste water of all these districts Hindon crosses through. As per the tests, the Ghaziabad and Noida has mojar role in polluting Hindon, which is being denied by the pollution control officials in respective cities and putting the blame for toxins in the Hindon on Saharanpur, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Meerut and Baghpat districts.

Baghel says, "Migratory birds have disappeared from Hindon's banks. There are only three effluent treatment plants in Ghaziabad, treating 100 megaliters per day in total. Over 300 megalitres per day of waste flows into the river untreated." Environmentalists say that aquatic life, including fish, which help to reduce pollution by eating bio-pollutants, have all disappeared in the river between Ghaziabad and Noida and heavy metals like chromium, lead, arsenic and mercury are poisoning the groundwater.

Our Commercial Effluent Treatment Plants (Industrial compact effluent treatment plant) 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. Our Biological Sewage Treatment Plant solution is composed of a mechanical treatment (pre-settlement tank) and the main biological stage a Bio-reactor with activated sludge or Bio-filter. MBBR Sewage Treatment Plant is Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor Sewage Treatment Plant. It is a continuous operating non-clogging BIO film reactor. We have developed a treatment plant technology giving excellent performance, reliability and a low footprint. Effluent Treatment Plant is used to make water more acceptable for a desired end-use. Reverse osmosis (used in Industrial RO Plant) is a membrane-technology filtration method that removes many types of large molecules and ions from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective membrane. The result is that the solute is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure solvent is allowed to pass to the other side. To be "selective," this membrane should not allow large molecules or ions through the pores (holes), but should allow smaller components of the solution (such as the solvent) to pass freely. In the normal osmosis process, the solvent naturally moves from an area of low solute concentration (High Water Potential), through a membrane, to an area of high solute concentration (Low Water Potential). The movement of a pure solvent to equalize solute concentrations on each side of a membrane generates osmotic pressure. Waste Water Treatment Plant In Paint Industry - We have Waste-Water Treatment Plant specific to meet quality standards of paint industry. We have developed a treatment plant technology that ensure highly efficient reduction of pollutants and give excellent performance, reliability with a low footprint.

Industry bodies seek sewage and effluent treatment project

At the recent meeting of the Zilla Udyog Mitra, Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation to set up a effluent treatment plant in Nashik on request of industrial bodies. Executive engineer of MIDC said, "The Sinnar industrial estate falls under the engineering zone. As per the MIDC policy, there is no need of a CETP project in Sinnar." The MIDC is already in the process of inviting tender for roads and streetlight repair work.
