Green the Gene's The Aqua Revival - Nominated for the prestigious St. Andrew's Prize for the Environment ! Green the Gene's unique and internationally acclaimed water recycling project has been recently nominated for the prestigious St. Andrew's Prize for the Environment. The Aqua Revival, despite of being extremely simple, is a very unique and innovative way to address one of the major problems of the Haryana Region of India scarcity of water. And over the past three years has recycled over 2.5 Million liters of water. As our region is one of those which receives no more than 50 cm of rainfall in a year, making a lot of people suffer from water scarcity, this project has been a boon to many. In this project we are recycling over 850,000 litres of waste swimming pool and RO Water every year, since the past three years. In Eicher school, we have three large swimming pools (With different depths for different age groups) and usually in India, swimming pool water is just sent down the drain and is never recycled. In homes and schools around the country, tap water is unfit for drinking and so RO systems are used to purify water, and a lot of discharge water is wasted in the process. Because of the water scarcity in our state (annual rainfall of about 50 cm) and its extensive wastage, people are not able to fulfill their water needs from the water provided by the government and have to boar into the ground for water, which is pulled to the ground using a pump this causes a decrease in the water table and a considerable increase in the electricity consumption. |
