[@akhil-menon]

@@rethrajwatering plants is still a waste. Singapore treats the water so that we can drink them again. That is true recycling of water and it is needed across India. We must shift our mindset that drinking recycled water is bad for health. In fact recycled water is more pure than borewell/municipal water. It is also how astronauts on the ISS survive.

Our society uses treated wastewater for toilet flush and gardening.

[@PrasanthRaj57]

​​@@valeshmathias he is saying about his society. Can you say every society or household uses treated water for toilets ? Just wait. A day would come to whole world where would use the treated water for milkshakes as well. Did our older generations ever thought we would use RO purifiers to drink water ? The same with our generations too

[@valeshmathias]

@@PrasanthRaj57 I think he misunderstands treated water and potable water and is blaming the society for wasting treated water on things like gardening. I agree that future technology would enable us to use treated water for household use, including cooking (probably already happening in developed countries) but at the moment, this is the best we can do.

​@@valeshmathias what the f is wrong with you man? He simply mentioned about his society.

[@soubhikdutta6184]

​@@chikukumar-tj1ml Thanks Sir, yes i meant the water used by us is sent for water treatment in a small stp inside the society and that produces water for our toilets and car wash and gardening. We are using that water for washing the building by pressure washers before house painting.

Add Garden farming as well.

[@rednivaram]

Should we conclude that the BWSSB STP's are not good enough? One aspect that you didn't cover is how much sewage is let go by each treatment plant without any treatment into the Raja Kaluves or rivers. This is important since many of the STPs were planned when the population wasn't as dense & the inflow is now greater than the processing capabilities of the STP. Lastly...while sending water to nearby towns...it is important that the passage length of 10's of km is utilised for further natural treatment of the water. Sending them through concrete canals doesn't help. 🙏🏾

First let BWSSB strictly enforce rainwater harvesting in every individual's house and then on public spaces like side drains

[@vibheeshvelayudha2706]

Not gonna work for every house, people live in such tight packed houses that even if they were able to setup plumbing for RWH, the collected rain water cannot be mixed with existing sump or there is no space to dig a recharge well. It can only be implemented by houses with a garden area for recharge well or having additional space to store tanks that collect rain water.

In my view 1. Each flat should have separate water meter. This will help us increase water charges drastically above Avg water usage of Bangalore. 2. Govt should make sure STP treatment plants are working properly. Many case STP plant is just for name sake using money power and muscle power won't operate those. 3. Make sure each and every building should have Rain water harvesting system in place and which is properly functioning.

[@lekhasuryan8871]

Very informative video. DH always brings good information.

[@abhishekvanenooru2869]

super akka

[@arkrishnareddy2660]

Quite informative and useful. While the problems in using it for agriculture is covered well, we understand that the quality of treatment is much below that it is planned for; which indicates that without proper treatment, the water is pumped out. In Israel over 60% of agricultural needs are understood to be taken care by the treated water. In our case, we consume 85% of fresh water only for agriculture. This needs to be reduced and as it is covered in the video, recharging of ground water needs to be addressed not only through lakes in cities but also elsewhere through desilting.

[@movievu]

Please bring a consultant from Israel to learn how to properly recycle wastewater. Israel is the world leader in wastewater recycling. Nearly 90% of wastewater in Israel is treated for reuse, most of it in agricultural irrigation.

[@karthikk2896]

This suggestion should be given to Karnataka government it would be better for everyone in India

[@jayanthisrinivasan9055]

Very good reportage

[@anuswadh]

Very nice video

[@KirenKK-te7pb]

Instead of Sewage alone, try collecting, filtering and boiling Airconditioner / dehumidifier water and adding alkaline to desired pH in every home. Ensure bird meshing around the same. This is exactly how Israel carries out drip irrigation for greenhouse plants . Every house with functional air conditioners and dehumidifiers could try piped collection of condensed water. A one and a half hour collection of this water from a single ac on mode dehumidifier provides 5 to 8 litres of treatable condensed water. ( Ensure bird avoidance meshing on outdoor split ac units)

[@suchetanmok9419]

Problem is techparks, government should make a mandate that all tech parks should use treated water for toilet flushes and they should have their own STP built in,

[@gaganabhishek7583]

The water which is treated in Singapore is of such high quality that, in their processing plant, water is given to visitors to drink. Yes sewage water is filtered to such a degree that it can be used for drinking. There should be sensors kept at exit points of these STP's which will monitor the levels of Nitrogen and Phosphorus and warn the plant if it goes over the limit.

[@mexicanmomo]

This treated water should be used for toilets, car wash etc . Why shall common man outside Bengaluru use this treated water ? Also it should be properly checked by growing vegetables and fish to check toxicity. Only solution is rain water harvesting to ensure not a single drop goes waste.

[@dr.n.mohan-738]

The farmers and village residents concern need to be taken seriously and BWSSB need to resolve the issues which are affecting the agricultural crops domesic animals like cows and also health of villagers. Effects of these STP water on soil health and bore well water quality also need to be studied on priority and appropriate measures to be taken. Ultimately our environment and pancha boothas need to be protected.

Great coverage on the issue. I would also like to hear the response of BWWSB on the issue of the treated water smelling bad and becoming carcigonic. That is a bigger story. Are they planning to solve that problem? This water has now been directed to 6-8 of Bengaluru lakes which is a worry if the water isn't being further treated.

And this city is overated and hyped to be called as Silicon Valley of India, Tech City ,IT Capital. 😅 On what basis, this city can be compared or called as Silicon Valley 😅 The water which is being recyled from sewage can be seen with full dirt ,plastic ,waste materials dumped irresponsibly in sewage lines . One should as citizens blame and are equally accountable for what the condition of the city is today .

[@mmpasupati]

All Municipality in India are corrupt. Every municipality knows what is the problem but every time short term solution is given instead of working on long term and they there would be Commission in all the work which needs to be completed. Then how can we accept we would get full fledge solution for it. . In Blore, water distress call has been there since 2016. BBMP Never cared about this. Firstly every house should get water pipe line connection so that Individual house doesn't depend on borewell or water tanker. Then BBMP can decide which area can get cuvery water or which are area can get water from borewell if required. Then there wont be any exploitation on underground water from individual or water tanker. Govt should focus building this infrastructure. Then only water problem can solved. And other thing is constructing more and more STP and STP of high grade so that water can reused for drinking purpose. Current STP in blore are not upto that level. They are only meant for Industrial purpose. They was one initiative from Citizen called as K100 Citizens’ Waterway. Govt should be encouraged to have more water ways So that water problem can be solved permanently. But for this govt needs to dedication to complete the work. problem with our Karnataka govt is that, they give lot of promise on paper but execution is always zero. None of the govt from Karnataka has dedication to complete the work in timely manner either it is BJP or congress.

Do they check treated sewage water for forever chemicals?

[@railfan_neon]

If the treated water from Govt. run STPs is being sent to lakes to recharge groundwater then that same water could be used by the farmers to water their crops through borewells. If crops are dying by using this STP treated water directly then would it not contaminate the groundwater too? Or is it that ground percolation helps in additional filtration of the treated water? 🤔 Confused!!
