Ground-breaking technology for saving the environment in India

Innovation and technology have made life easier for us humans today. But the question is, can technology also save our environment? Today with the growth of population, urbanization is increasing rapidly. And with the humdrum of busy lifestyles, people often become careless about the environment. In India, pollution is an enormous threat to the environment. But the good thing is, numerous housing societies and even our government have opened their eyes to this threat. With the usage of innovative technology today, we are moving towards a better future.

New technologies and initiatives in India for saving the Environment

With the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiated by prime minister Shri Narendra Modi, our government has taken a huge step. This all-India cleanliness campaign has so far been successful in spreading awareness about clean water and sanitation. Other than our government, even Indian entrepreneurs, start-ups and societies are coming forward to help. According to a recent report in Times Of India, the Roseland Residency is one among those societies in Pune.

Rainwater harvesting project in Roseland Residency

With the rainwater harvesting project implemented by the Roseland Residency, their dependency on water tankers has lessened. The project that started in 2009 with six buildings, now has rainwater harvesting in eight to nine buildings. This project is extremely environment-friendly and reduces the money spent on tankers too. With the success of this project, Roseland residency won the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan award in RWA category.
According to the article published on TOI, chairman Santosh Maskar spoke about receiving less water from PCMC. With 1000 flats in 30 buildings the demand of water supply is constantly increasing. Today, with the help of their rainwater harvesting project, the groundwater levels have increased sufficiently. Now they can draw water from the borewells and don’t have to depend on the water tanks.
The best part is, many other societies have started to implement rainwater harvesting techniques too, the reason behind this being the success of the project in societies like Roseland residency. Societies like Kunal Icon Housing Society and Rosewood Apartment in Pune have implemented it too. Maskar has said that he is looking forward to helping other societies too.

Future of waste management and sewage recycle

Recycling sewage waste, providing high-tech biogas technology to managing solid waste, technology has made everything possible today. Today, the latest technologies gaining popularity are:

• Reverse osmosis membrane technology is used by the industries today which provides zero discharge while recycling.
• High-Tech technological products provided by Green Nerds has brought solutions for waste management.
• Vermiculture biotechnology provided by Vermigold company today helps to recycle organic waste hands-free.

In conclusion, it’s high time that we all take our environmental issues seriously. Fortunately, with awareness and technological advancement, we can still bring a change. Nagpur is soon going to become the first city in India to recycle 90% of sewage water. And with the right resources, all the other cities can too. But first, let’s start the change with our own societies.
