Is there any other
better way to celebrate world water day than at Rainbow Drive layout in
Bengaluru? Rainbow Drive has been a pioneer in many good practices towards
water sustainability and this was one such occasion which provided an
opportunity to celebrate that spirit of working towards water self-sufficiency.

The citizen
participation in the projects closes or at least inches closer towards end when
the citizen themselves take over the activities and start championing the
activities. The involvement of young generation in taking photographs and
developing a movie on the good practices followed in the community, the
residents themselves talking about the current practices and interventions
around solid waste management, recharge wells, rainwater harvesting, etc. made
the event much more valued. A presentation by Avinash Krishnamurthy from BIOME
on how RBD has changed from a situation of any other layout in the city
struggling with water issues to water sustainable community over the years was
one of the highlights of the even as well.

On occasion of this
day, a Phytorid based sewage treatment plant was officially inaugurated by Upa
Lokayuktha, Justice Subhash B Adi. Justice Adi, who has been hearing cases
around issues of water bodies, especially lakes in Bengaluru praised the
efforts undertaken at RBD and encouraged others to follow it.

Amidst the chaos
created by many discussions around sewage treatment, recharge well, rainwater
harvesting, aquifer mapping, lakes bioremediation, etc. and the brazing heat,
cool coconut water was indeed refreshing.

Sir,
Can you tell me who was the STP vendor? I would like to get in touch with him as well. I am part of a community on New Bel road near ramaiha hospital. I would like to get this done in our community as well.
Would you mind sending an email to zenrainman@gmail.com and then we can put you in touch with the vendors
