suggested alternatives to bridge the gap between water demand and supply, and to reduce pressure on water resources.According to reports,
almost 80 per cent of the water supplied to a household is being discharged as wastewater and it has become a potential pollutant of
groundwater because it is untreated
In Tirupati, only 30-40 per cent of sewage is being recycled, as of now.Though the MCT is working on the new 25 MLD large conventional STP,
the apathy with regard to this plant lies in the fact that it needs a large infrastructure network and high cost
Instead of relying only on such STPs, the civic body has now planned for the non-conventional STP, which can treat the wastewater in a
The treated water would have BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand) and TSS (Total Suspended Solids) values of 10 each
Girisha told DC.The project cost is estimated to be around Rs 14.97 crore and it is expected to be completed in 12 months
The plant will recycle sewage flowing through drains, starting from the upstream areas and passing through areas on the north side of the
sewage to stand for a long time and the total suspended solids will settle down
Thereafter, the water is passed through chambers and compartments which have beds of pebbles of various sizes, which filters the sewage
grey-coloured highly polluted sewage water
And what comes out is clean water with a reduced level of BOD
