Symbiosis institute of design, Pune, receives first prize for the presentation on water management in low income housing colony in the city
The presentation by Smriti Mehrotra and Shruti Mehrotra discusses the design of rainwater harvesting system providing potable water to five families in low income housing colony in Pune
A portable bicycle pump reduces the drudgery of transporting water to these homes. They also plan to implement grey and black water treatment systems with the assistance of industries in the vicinity that can use that water, or use the sewage waste to generate biogas. An important component of their design is a focused awareness campaign on water management with the residents of the colony.
