In India,water is a very precious resource. Home to approximately 16 percent of the world?s population, India has but four percent of the planet?s water reserves. With this in mind, the location management of the plant in Kalwa, India, opted to implement a wastewater treatment system that would, for the most part, regulate itself – much like a natural wetland. 

Rather than high-tech, the facility?s water recycling system relies on an ecosystem consisting of plants and microorganisms that eliminate harmful substances from the wastewater. ?It works kind of like a swamp or marshland,? as Veerabhadrapp Chaugula explains. The water is treated mechanically and biologically using a cascade of 32 gravel-filled basins that filter out particles in the water. Plants supply oxygen while their roots aerate the gravel bed. Organic substances are decomposed into carbon dioxide and water by bacteria. Finally, the water is channeled back to the administrative building, garden facilities and rest rooms, completing the cycle.

The Omniprocessor is a safe repository for human waste. Today, in many places without modern sewage systems, truckers take the waste from latrines and dump it into the nearest river or the ocean—or at a treatment facility that doesn?t actually treat the sewage. Either way, it often ends up in the water supply. If they took it to the Omniprocessor instead, it would be burned safely. The machine runs at such a high temperature (1000 degrees Celsius) that there?s no nasty smell in fact it meets all the emissions standards set by the U.S. government.

Not only the government, but also top CEO's and leader have step forward to join in water conversation like Bill Gates.
