Sewage Treatment Plants (STP)

This report presents the findings of a study conducted by CPCB with the help of Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee and Anna University, Chennai  on the performance of all the prevailing treatment technologies in terms of Coliform reduction. IIT Roorkee had also carried out experiments on measures for further reduction in Coliform level after the conventional treatment. The two Institutes also compiled the information from the world literature on global technological options for Coliform reduction in sewage. The results of these studies are presented in this report.Read More

These two reports discuss the dependency of agriculture on phosphorous and the ways to mitigate the problem.Read More

The first report looks at agricultural dependence of chemical nutrients on a global scale and even discusses the potential international political fallout of a reduction in phosphorous. The second report is focused on ways to tackle the dependency on this mineral, in the Indian context. However, both speak of the need for finding alternatives to the current methods of obtaining phosphorous, which is largely through mining.

This presentation deals with the projects implemented by Paharpur Business Centre and Software Technology Incubator Park (PBC-STIP), New Delhi towards reduction in potable water consumption through its projects on water closet replacement, waterless urinal and sensor tap.Read More

The other potable water savings projects of PBC-STIP include dish washer (GE make), soap free water for gardening, use of native plant species, drip irrigation, hydroponics culture for growing plants and use of conductivity meter. Its initiative in water conservation runs across all verticals and it engages with the supply chain to sensitize them on water issues.
