What will be happening in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand in a year from now will be so revolutionary that all the major cities in the country have to adopt it! A year from now steel-city Jamshedpur will be the country’s first Zero Water Discharge city.

A Zero Water Discharge is an innovative and highly effective system that prohibits any sort of waste water venturing into major water bodies nearby. The ZLD or Zero Liquid Discharge system separates dissolved solid and other waste is water waste and returns distilled water by recycling it.

Deputy General Manager (Water Management) Rabindra Kumar Singh of Jamshedpur Utilities and Services Company Limited (JUSCO) said, “The initiative to recycle and reuse 100 per cent waste water that is sewerage water has already begun. Work is well in progress to achieve the milestone.”

He further added, “‘JUSCO had been making efforts to minimize water leakage and reuse the sewerage water after being recycled at its two treatment plants located at Bistupur and Bara.”

The current water treatment plain in the city has the capability to treat 10 million litres of water per day. Currently at Bara water treatment plant, the amount of water this system can treat is 30 million litres of sewage water.

Once this system is implemented, JUSCO will be able to recycle around 40 million litres of sewage water additional to the 30 million litres of water.

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
