climate for best rains in normal weather conditions, But most surprisingly
majority of the population in India do not have access to quality water for
consumption, and even water for Industries is not adequate, or Agriculture is
not Adequate, Mainly due to poor water management, Lack of Systems in place to
Reduce Global Warming gases, Lack of
systems in place to conserve water, lack of systems in place to ensure optimal
use of water for various purpose, also lack of systems in place preventing
contamination of water bodies from various
sectors, also lack of systems in place for recycle and reuse the waste
water to a maximum extent, all lacunas in water management leading large
quantities of water unusable, the issue of Scarcity of Water is getting more
complex in Urban areas where the population is on the rise and the water from
existing river basins is not proportionate to the requirement, in addition due
to encroachments, so called projects the natural flow of the water from the
perennial rivers has been restrained, as such majority of the people living in
the country, especially in the cities has to depend up on the ground water, abnormal
density of population in a limited area drawing ground water indiscriminately, even
most of the commercial purpose bulk water users are using ground water, as a
result even the ground water tables are
getting depleted fast-ly, adding more scarcity of water.
It is a fact that
Water in Rivers has to depend up on the rainfall, climatic Temperatures which
depend up on Greeneries in the Territories, as for the Water in Clouds to get
precipitated and fall as rain suitable optimal temperatures are required, but
due to excess deforestation, due to industrialisation leading to global warming
resulting inadequate & uneven, extreme/low rainfall across the country;
also lack of appropriate planning for weather modification/ cloud seeding to tap
the rain water existing in the clouds to precipitate them to shower rain, as a result the status co of less water in
reservoirs is prevailing in most of the places; also in some places even when
rain water is abundant, again due to lack of planning for adequate storage of
rainwater by creation of appropriate earth dams the rain water is getting
wasted and majority of Rain water is flowing into the sea/oceans, leading to
shortage of potable water, water for agriculture and industrial uses, soon
after rainy season.
Also due to lack of
monitoring of the quality of water being delivered by the government
municipalities mostly due to age old pipes which are made of cast iron, which
is subjected to corrosion, and deposition of scaling due to dissolved chemical
salts due to hardness of water, also due to blue green algae and other
bacteria’s deposited inside pipes making some flow path reduced/shrink-ed, some
gets burst, leakages due to wear & tear of pipe material, leading to not
only loss of fresh processed water, but also fresh water is getting mixed with
sewerage waters, in addition the supply of municipal water is not fully taken
place across length & breadth of cities, in addition due to hardness of
ground water most of the people in urban areas as well as in small towns are
preferring to consume so called Bottled/ Packaged Mineral water, with the
notion that mineral water is safe drinking water, it is fact that people
reached to a stage that especially youth, middle class and above are of the
totally of the impression that one has to consume mineral water, else no water,
with wrong notion, consuming any other
water (normal, RO) water is dangerous to health. En-cashing the demand
thousands, lacks of bottled mineral water plants are established, operating officially,
un officially; of which majority do not bother about any quality standards, but
just because it is bottled water, packed water, people are consuming it, making
their health at serious risk by consuming such unauthorised sub standard
bottled water, most of them are stale water, contains bacteria, chemical in such
bottled water, causes severe health disorders, in addition most strangely most
of the bottled water manufacturers/ beverages manufacturers uses the ground
water or the municipal water in millions of litres per day, causing the
depletion of groundwater table, thus acute water shortage for the people in the
vicinity if they are residential habitations they have to depend up on the
tankers to get their basic water needs, in case the bottled water manufacturing
plants are in rural areas the farmers are
suffering as they have to spend huge amounts to dig bore wells as deeper and
deeper, in addition to lift water from such a depths they need to use extra
house power motors, which consume more electricity, all added is high costs,
thus cultivation becomes un viable, and most of the farmers are becoming daily
wage labour and migrating to urban areas in search of work, and the load on the
urban areas for water is again on the raise. All leading to forcing most of the
people in the urban areas to depend up on the supply/ purchase of water
tankers, gain which are one of the major contributors of ground water table
depletion as they extract millions of litres of ground water from city
outskirts, in addition causing excess pollution due to transportation of water
from long distances emitting heavy vehicular pollution.
Also lack of
systems in place that government supply the RO water in all public places, also
due to lack of mandatory supply of RO Water in office establishments, organisations
to the employees leading to excessive dependent on the bottled water, causing
waste of billions of litres of water in the processing of Bottled water, in
addition causing severe environment pollution.
Also lack of
systems in place to quantify the use of water for individual use by various
user categories like residential users, the commercial, the industrial, and
agriculture, various types of water viz. The river water, the municipal water
the ground water, the harvested rain water, leading to excess use, lack of
systems in place to monitor the source, quantities of supply of private water
tankers; lack of systems fixing the optimal quantities for various users, for
various purposes like residential, commercial, industrialises of various types.
Also lack of
systems in place to till date (till full-fledged implementation of Soil Health
Card) educating the farmers for right quantities of water, providing them Drip
irrigation where ever possible for optimal use of water, also lack of systems
in place for making the account of the quantities of water used by the farmers
by various sources leading to loss of excess water un productivity.
Also due to lack of
foolproof systems in place to quantify the amount of waste generated each
manufacturer wise, lack of systems in place to make manufactures adhere to optimum
water utilisation and no stringent norms to monitor disposal of waste water/
effluents most of the Manufactures who use water as part of their processing, discharges
un treated water/fluids/ effluents in the nearby fields or water bodies thus
polluting the water tables, as a result most water bodies are unsuitable for
consumption, or even for agriculture, industrial purposes, also people in the
vicinity are unable to get quality potable water and facing severe health
disorders due to using contaminated water.
Also Lack of system
in place for mandatory utilisation of waste water generated from residential, Commercial,
Industrial Establishments through treatment/ recycling/ re use of ‘Grey water’ /
Zero Emission from industries with total recycling (residential grey water
is used water from bath rooms) grey
water is getting wastes which if recovered, recycled and reused can reduce fresh
water demand; also ‘dark water’ water from the kitchens, washing machines which
contains chemicals oils, fats can be treated for re cycle & reuse in
drought prone areas/ in severe water scarcity areas where underground water
table is very low apart from low rain fall. The grey water can be used by
recycling if it is safe grey water/ eco friendly grey water, with no chemicals
in the grey water. Also lack of systems in place to reduce the black water
(water from the toilet flush tanks); billions of litters of fresh water getting
to black, which is waste, un re usable.
Also lack of
systems in place to prevent from
Excessive use of chemicals in detergents and surface cleaners which are
otherwise causing contamination of grey water turning to dark water unusable
for plants, apart from causing severe health hazards for those who are wearing
the clothes washed using chemical detergents or those exposed to surfaces
cleaned by chemical surface cleaners; also there is no systems in place to ban
use of Acids in residential and commercial cleaning purposes (other than
industrial purposed) leading to turning grey water to dark/ black water un
usable for recycle; Also Lack of Systems in place to prevent the Distilled
water used in the batteries in the power inverters, contamination of the soils,
grey water, apart from severe health risks due to unsafe disposal of used cans/
bottles; Also lack of systems in place
to regulate the paints dust, from getting into sewer lines, grey water, making
the grey water unusable; Also lack of implementation of foolproof system to
prevent the leaks of Transformer oils from the millions of transformers into
Soil, thus into water bodies due to Rains contaminating the water bodies, in
addition due to failure of transformers agriculture,
industrial production is affecting severely.
Also lack of
systems in place to prevent the discharge of used lubricants from the vehicles
into soils, and water bodies and in sewerages leading to contamination of water
bodies, some Turing grey water to dark water or black water making them unfit
for recycling. Also lack of systems in place to reduce the vehicular pollution
due to transportation of goods through using alternative transport systems of
transport through ships and rails leading to excess pollution, leading to
reduced rain fall, in addition the rain water is also not suitable for usage without
treatment.
Also lack of
systems to contain the use of RAT poison entering the soil, food, water bodies
due to use in agriculture fields/ residential and commercial indiscriminately;
also lack of systems in place for safe disposal of dead animals, Also lack of
systems in place to regulate dumping of remains of animal slaughter, also lack
of systems in place fixed location for domestic animal slaughter/ cutting for
meat causing soil & water bodies contamination, causing severe health risks
to people in the vicinity.
Also lack of
systems in place to mandatory disinfect the used water, waste disposals from
the hospitals (only part of bio medical waste get collected & treated at
present), soil, water bodies are contaminated leading to development of
bacteria and pathogens making the health risk for the people who use such
water; in addition to causing severe health risks for sewerage workers, Also
lack of systems in place to ensure safe disposal of sanitary napkins/ period
cloths leading to sever contamination of water bodies indirectly as most of
them are thrown into the soil, which is getting into soil, water bodies due to
rains causing the water bodies developing bacteria, pathogens.
Also lack of
systems in place to reduce the clogging of sewerages, by ensuring no solids
enter the sewerage lines, also lack of systems in place preventing the deaths
of sewerage workers leading loss of valuable life’s.
Also lack of
systems in place to ensure all the used water bottles get recycled, all used
items get recycled causing severe clogging of sewerages, in addition causing
severe environmental pollution due to getting into soils.
Also lack measures
to conserve water from excessive water use industries like paper industry,
which consumes several times the water against the weight of finished paper for
writing& printing, for packaging, for news print, lack of systems to reduce
the use of paper in packaging in transportation of finished goods from the manufacturer,
also lack of systems in place to contain use of paper , paper packaging boxes in
e-commerce trade, delivery packages
leading to excessive demand for paper thus billions of litres of fresh water
getting wasted, in addition to contamination of water bodies and soil, air due
to the discharge of effluents, GHG from the paper manufacturing.
Also lack of
systems in place to ensure less sugar is consumed by rationing the use of sugar
by the individual, which can also help in reduction of several health discords
; also lack of systems in place to reduce the overall production of sugar cane
leading to loss of billions of litres of water in the production of sugar cane
to manufacture of sugar cane; also lack of systems in place to regulate the so called
carbonated drinks leading to loss of billions of litres of fresh water apart
from generating billions of litres of effluents.
Also lack of
systems in place to reduce the water contamination due the religious rituals
performed by individuals on the auspicious days, on special festivals dumping
tonnes of used material; also lack of systems in place streamlining the
judicious use of water religious purposes further reducing the fresh water un
usable for consumption, any use in addition to causing severe health risks for
the people. Also lack of systems in place to minimise the waste water from taps
established in religious places.
Also lack of
systems in place for mandatory rain water harvesting and best use, as billions
of litres of fresh water from the rain getting wastes, if with small individual
investment in storage by every habitation, or bulk industrial users will reduce
the load on the other sources of water to a considerable extent.
Also lack of
systems in place for periodic maintainance of water pipes and taps to prevent
leaks, storage tanks, the water pumping motors to pump efficiently, washing
machines to work optimally, the dishwasher, the micro RO water purifies to best
use of exhaust water, the air conditioners, also collect the waste water from
air conditioners and home RO systems, the kitchen exhaust systems to reduce
power consuming etc, the water, energy getting wasted.
Also lack of
systems to identify and dismantle the encroachments of water bodies, sewerage
lines, causing water clogging, flooding during monsoon or in the event of
folds.; Also lack of systems in place to clear the silt, sediments in the water
bodies and cannels to store more water, lack of systems in place the
indiscriminate construction of irrigation, power dams in the upstream of rivers
blocking the water for downstream leading to loss of agriculture and
habitations in the downstream; Also lack of awareness, educating people to
adopt the cleaning of the cloths, utensils, vehicles, floors with minimum
water; Also lack of systems in place for educating, making people to drink
minimum required quantities leading to health disorders; which need to be
addressed properly to fix the lacunas in the systems and make sure every drop
of water is accounted for, utilised to the best and ensure clean water is
available for all purposes all times.
This document “WATER
FOR ALL” provides comprehensive solutions to issues pertaining to measures containing
water contamination, for best use of water existing, to conserve water for future
needs, ensuring healthy living of all sections of people, as water is life.
2) MANDATORY USE OF
RIVER WATER
BAN ON USE OF UNDER
GROUND WATER, MUNICIPAL WATER FOR MANUFACTURE OF PACKAGED BOTTLED WATER; MANDATORY
USE OF RIVER WATER SOURCED DIRECTLY OR HARVESTED RAIN WATER; BAN ON MANUFACTURE
OF BOTTLED WATER IN CITIES
MANUFACTURERS/BEVERAGES
MANUFACTURERS TO REPLENISH THE QUANTITIES OF WATER SOURCED FROM THE RIVERS
THROUGH CLOUD SEEDING/ WEATHER MODIFICATION; INCENTIVES FROM GOVERNMENT FOR
CLOUD SEEDING & CREATION OF EARTH DAMS
As it is a fact
that Bottled/ Packaged Mineral Water become Synonym to Water in India, whether
it is urban areas, or even in small towns and Even in some parts of Rural
areas., Also it is a fact that majority of the so called bottled / packaged
mineral water manufacturers are sourcing the municipal water or ground water,
thus causing severe water crises in the vicinity of the manufacturing
territory, due to the bottled water manufacturers drawing excess water from the
municipal or ground water mostly unauthorised-ly, some authorised-ly, Since
Municipal Water supply is not sufficient for the household, and since the
ground water in the well, bore well in their compound/ vicinity is of no use
because of failure of bore or less water and that too after digging hundreds of
feet into the underground, also due to excess habitation in limited area most
of the people are forced to go for tanker water for their daily needs, also it
is a fact most of the people in the urban areas are depended on bulk mineral
water bottles for their daily consumption, which not only causing health
disorders due to lack of proper quality checks for these bottled water as most
of the local brands bottled water are un authorised manufacture or even
licensed to manufacture, un accounted manufacture, even the circulation of
contra bands of so called MNC branded
water, in addition the vehicles
supplying the bulk bottles every door door causes additional air
pollution; the manufacturing units of bottled water in the cities, is one issue
of water crises in urban areas, forcing the people to buy the same water at a
higher price, in addition to causing loss to the environment, as for
manufacture of bottled water takes 1:1.39 which means for manufacture of one
litre of bottled water 1.39 litres is used, and these 390 ml waste waste
generated is contaminating the coils, water bodies, in addition the use of
electric power to manufacture indirectly causing environment pollution due to
most of the power manufactured from coal burning, also directly causing
environmental pollution by way of bottled water transport vehicles causing air
pollution, in addition causes loss of more water, as every manufactured water
bottle is transported in the paper carton corrugated boxes, and mostly one carton box contain 12
litre bottles, weights about 100 gm, and it takes 12.5 litres of fresh water to manufacture 100
gm of corrugated paper, in addition 9 litres of waste water effluents, in
addition the power for processing of paper of 100 gm (as it takes 80,000 litres to 150,000
litres of fresh water to manufacture 1000 kg paper depending up on the raw
material); so people has to understand that there are huge loses occurring due
to bottled mineral water directly and indirectly in several ways.
So in order to
contain all the negative effects of bottled / packaged mineral waters,
government must stream line the manufacturing & distribution, use of the
bottled waters, the first step is to ensure complete ban on sourcing of water
from underground water through digging bore wells, and using motors to lift the
water from the bore wells or using the municipal water by the manufacture of
packaged water. In addition Government must make it mandatory that all
beverages manufacturers must use river water only, must make the plants near to
the river or at the downstream of the dams that discharge excess rainwater/flood
water, and complete ban on manufacturing in the agriculture fields, or in the
vicinity of agriculture zones to save
cultivation from becoming unviable due to depletion of water table.
Also in order to
ensure the used water replenished by the bottles water manufacturers government
must make it mandatory for all manufacturers of bottled water, either use could
seeding as CSR in the vicinity of the rivers, pounds or contribute for cloud seeding by government
to tap the water from the clouds where ever possible to get fresh water into
rivers ad also improvement of ground water table; government must provide its support for the
cloud seeding, which is otherwise the cheapest pure water which cost 25 Pisa per litre.
Also it is ideal
that all the bottled water manufacturers may preserve the rainwater by creating
huge earth dams/ tanks of huge capacity in the non agriculture fields in
hundreds/ thousands of acres in the areas of heavy rainfall, and store it for
their processing’s of their manufacture; alternatively the bottled water/
beverages manufactures can source the river water, not required to do cloud
seeding, but should construct and maintain the bulk rainwater storage systems
near to cultivatable lands in the rain shadow areas/ areas with less rainfall and
ensure supply of the rainwater harvested for the agriculture fields where there
is no cannel irrigation and in the areas of cultivation depending on the rain
fall/ ground water; the manufacturing plant may be elsewhere, but equivalent
water used in the manufacture must be supplied elsewhere in the country through
rain water harvesting. In order to encourage this Government may provide tax concessions/
incentives for this purpose.
3) ALSO MANDATORY THAT BOTTLED WATER/
BEVERAGES MANUFACTURED USING DESALINATED WATER WITH AT LEAST 50% OF TOTAL OVER
ALL PRODUCTION, SALE IN INDIA MUST BE USING DESALINATED WATER, BY ESTABLISHING
PLANTS/ SHIFTING PLATS IN THE SEA COAST DISTRICTS;
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the bottle water manufacturers must use
desalinated water Mandatorily in future for at least 50% of their total
production and sale in India, and the maximum time for bottled water/ beverages
manufactures for using desalinated water should be 5 years from now; government
must provide tax concessions, incentives for establishment of bottled water
plants using the desalinated water in the sea coastal districts or for the
dismantling and re erection of the existing plants in the sea cost districts
for use of desalinated water. Also it should be mandatory that the entire sale
of bottled water/ beverages in sea costal districts should be 100 % made from
the desalinated water.
As it is a fact
that desalination may cost another Rs 50 per 1000 litres to convert salt water
into normal water so for manufacture of
one litre of bottled water the ratio of water is 1:1.39 i.e. for 1000 ml of
mineral water 390 ml of waste water is generated and a total of 1390 ml of
water is used, in case of use of ordinary water sourced from the
municipalities/ ground water it cost around 10 to 15 Rs per 1000 litres, and
for desalination it is Rs 50 for 1000 litres, so manufacture of 1000 litres of
mineral water 1390 litres of water is used which has additional cost of (15 –
50= 35 Rs x 1.39 = Rs 48 and 65 paisa,
additional cost for 1000 litres of water, so the water cost increases by
0.48650 additional cost per litre bottle, which means the bottle selling at Rs
20 now will become 20.486 Pisa + taxes on Rs 0.4865 as applicable in that state then cost of Rs
at present 20 Rs bottle will be Rs 21; this measure has multiple advantages, as
the water effluents discharged by the desalination, and purification process
can be discharged into the sea directly, which will not have any effect on
environment/ or the effects is very meagre, as desalination processes rises the
temperature by 5 degrees only, but as per international standards up to 7
degrees temperature addition will not have any effect on the aquatic marine
life, also the effect of desalination temperate water is only 50 to 100 meters
in the sea from the plant discharge point, so there is no affect on fisher men
catching fish as the fish cash is far beyond his discharge points; also in this
process of desalination water usage will
save millions/ billions of litres of
municipal water (river water) & ground water which can be supplied to the
residential purposes, for cultivation in the no costal districts, also in the costal districts reduced water
requirement through tankers using the bore well water due to availability of
abundant of ground water.; which also reduces cost of water for daily use by
the house hold, in addition to reduction of pollution caused by the water
tanker carrying vehicles.
4) MANDATORY USE OF CNG/LNG/ELECTRIC
OPERATED VEHICLES FOR CARRYING, DISTRIBUTION, DELIVERY OF BOTTLED WATER
Also in order to
reduce air pollution, government must make it mandatory that all the packaged
mineral water bottle vehicles whether big trucks carrying bottled water within
the cities or medium trolley autos for door to door deliver, must be operated
on CNG/ LNG or even electric vehicles,
and complete ban on use of petrol or diesel, this measure is necessary as the
bottles water suppliers uses diesel vehicles
(mostly bulk material carrying 3 wheeler autos) for carrying the bulk
water bottles (20 litres cans), which does more number of trips in the
residential areas every day several times, causing substantial pollution, in
order to reduce the air pollution caused by the bottled water carriers,
government must make it mandatory that all bottled water manufacturers must
ensure that their suppliers for delivery uses only CNG /LNG or Electric
vehicles for carrying and delivering water to the individual consumers.
5) MEASURES ENSURING QUALITY WATER IN PACKAGED
BOTTLED WATER
Also government
must make it mandatory that every manufacturer must conduct basic quality tests
under the camera directly water collected from the finished products and put
the tests in government website for very batch of manufacture, Government must make it mandatory that all
bottled manufacturers association must conduct the quality checks periodically
among their association members, all in CC camera monitoring; in addition
government must conduct surprise checks for quality of water individually
randomly every month of every manufacturer.
The first step is
to ensure quality of bottled water manufactured and sold, by government obtaining data of each Mandal
wise/ block wise, which are the company’s manufacturing and supplying so called
packaging, mineral water, their brand names by making it mandatory that bottled
water manufacturers must get registered with government; also making it mandatory
that all the employees working in the bottled water manufacturing/ distribution
must register with government online to obtain a separate unique ID number to
be carried by the employee all the time when on duty.
All the registered
companies manufacturing must be asked to submit the details of machinery, the
details of source of water, the details of process, and details of quality
checks. the details of disposal of the waste water, details of distributers,
dealers, stockists, bulk purchasers/ marketing, the details of staff, the
details of bank account, along with the video of processing in the plant from
outer location with surroundings, to entering the plant, clear display of all
machinery and equipment with the numbers, and the display of processing of
water Raw to Finished product, and all the government licences, approvals, details
about the place of manufacture its own or leased if leased who are the owners,
their contact details. The areas / territories where the product is currently
sold, who are the retailers. Government must keep those details on the website (except
the personal contact details like phone numbers, bank account details), with
centralised data each state wise, district wise, Mandal wise, village/ward wise
manufacturers of bottled water, also
each state wise, district wise, Mandal wise,
ward wise, colony wise details of retailers of the products for public understanding
and scrutiny; in addition government must create awareness about the need for
quality bottled water, and give advertisement, propaganda through radio,
television that people must know about the
manufactures of bottled water they are consuming by going to government
website or mobile APP, and report if any other brands are in circulation.
Government must en
act law for severe punishments for un authorised manufacturing of bottled
mineral waters. Also government must make it criminal offence for the employees
working / engaged in the manufacture/ distribution of bottled water with
government, also only the registered employees only should work in the
manufacture/ distribution of bottled water. The punishment should be a non bail
able offence with life imprisonment for the owners/ and imprisonment for all
the workers / workers union in that factory. This measure will certainly reduce
un authorised manufacturing, and all the manufacturing units by and large
adhere to the quality standards.
6) MANDATORY SALE OF
BULK WATER BOTTLE THROUGH MOBILE APP BOOKING/PURCHASE AND PAYMENT THROUGH E
WALLET, ONLINE BANK TRANSACTION; ELSE
PAY 20% EXTRA WITH CASH PAYMENT THAT TOO ORDER MUST BE THROUGH APP/ REGISTER
WITH MANUFACTURER, ALONG WITH A BAR-CODED BILL ISSUED AT DOOR STEP BY THE
SUPPLIER
Also in order to
regulate the sale of sub standard, un authorised manufactures manufacturing and
supplying bulk water, and to contain the sale of contra band, duplicate of
established MNC brand (as most MNC brands are certainly better in quality than
most local brands even through most of the MNC brand water they fail the 100%
quality tests); government should make it mandatory that all bulk water
manufacturers and suppliers must perform the sale of the bulk water through
mobile app, and also receive the payment through mobile app, e wallet, online
bank transaction, in case the customer wishes to pay by cash, they should be
charged 20% extra on the normal fixed rate with online generated bill through
hand held billing machine; even the retailers who sell the bulk water must sell
the water only through online APP to register
the sale soon after, with mandatory voter id/ mobile number of the person
sourcing the water along with online bar coded billing from the manufacturer
for cash bills; all data of the quantities of bulk water bottles manufactured,
sale must be submitted to the government online real time, This measure will
improve quality of the water supplied, as the accountability for supply is made
mandatory.
7) MANDATORY UNIQUE
BAR CODING OF BOTTLED WATERS, DISPLAY IN THE WEBSITE/ APP IRRESPECTIVE OF BRAND
THE FLOW FROM MANUFACTURER TO RETAILER, AND ALSO MANDATORY FOR DISPLAY OF
COMPLETION OF SALE OF THE BOTTLE SOON AFTER SALE AT RETAILER
Also in order to
ensure quality of water, and no contra brands are being in sale in the marker
as far as packaged drinking water is concerned, government make it mandatory
that entire processing unit of the packaged mineral water must be under high
resolution CC cameras with live web casting and also every bottled water was
bar coded and display on the web the packaging of cartons for transport to the
distributors, dealers, retailers.
Also in order to
prevent circulation of contra brand/ non authorised/ non tax pad bottled water,
government must make it mandatory that daily for each batch of production the
manufacturer should apply online to the government for bar-coding series
numbers, with submitting details of the quantity proposed to manufacture that
day, with details of previous batch of production manufacture, distribution,
etc, the details of workers present on that date, the details of quality check measures
etc the quantity of raw material etc then government will provide online
instantly a unique bar code series, which should be printed online real-time
for wrapping the bottles of the same day production; in case of small
manufacturers with pre printed labels, and paste the wrappers, stickers on the
bottles/ pouches and read the bar code before packing and delivery to the
distribution/ retail points, so that count of quantities can be made.; in case
of non production, short production due to any reason, the bar codes should be
surrounded to the government, else will be treated as manufactured and added to
the turnover for calculation of tax, in addition levy of fine for non
reporting.
Also the details of
stock at each level from manufacturer to retailer should be on the website,
government create a mobile APP if any individual purchases any brand of mineral
water bottle and just, read the bar code through smart phone using the mobile
APP or just SMS the bar code number the details of manufacturer, batch number,
the retailer details must surface, In addition the retailers must read the bar
code through the mobile App which will record the sale of the bottle (of any
brand in the single app, with manufacturers of bottled water association and
government record the details of sale). This is the only way that people can
get original manufactured bottled mineral water, and in case the above measures
of quality control measures are strictly implemented then further assured that
quality packaged mineral water is available.
Without this
process, majority of people of the country, especially the youth who are
otherwise addicted to drinking packaged bottle water, is danger-ing their
health, as hardly any quality standards are maintained by the original
manufacturers in the very first place including the so called multinational
billions of dollars turnover companies.
Also it is a fact
that most of the manufacturers of alcohol are using the bottled water to
promote their alcohol brand through engaging local manufacturers who
manufacture packaged drinking water for cheap in their brand name by doing job
works and sell in the market, they do not have any bother to maintain any
quality as the water is just a pretext and the original profits are only
through alcohol, also because most of these kind of brands with alcohol brand
names are sold in the wine shops as most of the people who purchases the hard
drink alcohol beverages buys water from
these shops only to dilute the concentration of alcohol spirit, so these alcoholic
addicts do not bother about any quality of bottled water, they just want some
water to dilute the concentrated alcohol
to consume; also this kind of alcohol branded mineral water was sold to nearby
shops, especially in the slums and rural areas and in the highways, bus
stations/ railway stations, where people do not bother about the brand, they
want only packaged mineral water that is it.
Also as far as most
of the local brands are concerned there is no quality, and substandard, even
duplicate packaged bottle water manufactured in the local streets, with
multinational brands with same bottle, same rapper, and with seal, just by
filling the local municipal water directly or with little filtering and selling
it through local vendors through select street shops, select pan shops, select
mom & pop store, offering heavy margins for selling, (since hardly any
processing is there just filling the municipal tap water, they can provide
heavy margins); also most sad part in this they use the branded bottles thrown
away after using it, which are not crushed by the users, especially they
collect these kind of bottles from the restaurants, also from the rag-pickers,
shops which collect the rag picking material, and just re use the bottle, or
may little clean the bottle, and since most of the bottles if not crushed
appears as if new, they just fill water and also either rub the printed
manufacturing and expiry date or just reprint with manufacturing date and
expiry date and seal the bottle with cap; causing severe health hazards for the
consumers due to prolonged storage of untreated, un processed water being
stored in the bottles, in addition exposing it to daylight developing bacteria
in the closed bolted water of these local duplicate bottled water, in addition
these local duplicates are creating substantial loss for the original brand who
follow at least far better quality than normal tap water.
So the best
solution to prevent this kind of trade of duplicate packaged water, bolted
water is to ensure that all water bottles are bar coded and online details of
each retailer wise stock must be made
available and there should be system in place that all the retailers of water
must maintain online real time data of sale of packaged drinking water from the
manufacture to their retailer through mobile APP or through computer accounting
whenever a bottle of water sold the same should be recorded online real time by
scanning the bar code and sell, so that soon after the sale is over the sales
recorded in the manufacturers data bank, and in case if any duplicate
manufactures uses the same bottle then it can be easily identifiable, also it
enables the retailers to check themselves that all the water they are getting
from the distributor vans of the branded manufacturers are genuine and not sold
earlier (as there is every possibility that the duplicate manufacturers may use
some of the delivery vans & some
corrupt staff of original branded bottles and sale the duplicate in place of
the original, in connivance with duplicate manufactures especially to the
retailers in busy places like bus stations, markets etc, or most of them use
these kind of stock during the mass gatherings of political rallies, or
processions or marriages or during the sports events etc where people are busy and
never ever bother to look for any quality standards) so this mandatory online
real-time sale with bar-coding of bottled water will ensure that at least to a
maximum extent contain the sale of sub stand/ un standard bottled water, in
addition government must conduct periodic surprise checks on all the retailers
to show their stock, for quantity and quality check instantly, and once in
three months.
8) NEED FOR RECYCLING
OF USED WATER BOTTLES; MEASURES TO IMPLEMENT MAJORITY OF USED BOTTLES TO GET
RECYCLED; BAN ON BOTTLED WATER LESS THAN 200 ML, AND MANDATORY DEPOSIT OF FIXED
SUM FOR THE FIRST PURCHASE TO CARRY THE BOTTLE, ELSE RETURN THE BOTTLE THERE
AND THEN, ALSO ALL RETAILERS CAN EXCHANGE ANY BRAND EMPTY BOTTLES TO PROVIDE
ANY OTHER BRAND FILLED SEALED BOTTLE (AS ALREADY FOR ONE BOTTLE THEY HAVE
DEPOSITED SUM)
Also it is a fact
that billions of empty water bottles are left out in the soils across India,
and it is a fact that all over the world that the average recycling of empty
water bottles is only fraction i.e. only less than 20% empty used bottles, and
remaining majority (80%) bottles are un-doubted-ly going to the earth, some
percentage going to the water bodies, sewer lines causing severe hazards.
Also in order to
contain environment pollution due to non recycle of used water bottles,
government must ban manufacture of less than 200 ml packaged/ bottled water,
also ban on making water pouches; also make it mandatory that water must be
transported in plastic crates just like egg crates which are re usable, Also
government must make for every first sale of water bottle through collecting a
fixed deposit for the bottle to ensure return of the empty bottle for refund/
second purchase at normal cost.
The deposit (first
bottle cost) for the 200 ml water should be 50 Rs, similarly for 500 ml should
b 100 Rs, the 750 ml should be 150 Rs, the 1000 ml should be 200 Rs. All the second bottle sale
should be of normal cost (the present market cost of Rs 20 per litre of branded
or as fixed by the brand), provided the person who used any brand water bottle
returns the used one to any sale point of the water of any brand, for this the
water bottles manufacturers association must have tie up to collect the empty
water bottles; and the empty bottle must be returned within the expiry date;
this measure ensures that majority of the people return the empty bottles. Also it should be mandatory that all the sale
points should collect the empty bottles by reading the bar coding and recording
the return of the empty bottle; Also government create Bring Banks to collect
the empty water bottles at fixed locations or go door to door to collect the
used bottles; also it should be mandatory that the manufacturers association
should recycle used bottles jointly, Also government must provide incentives
for using the recycled material by any manufacture for any product
manufacturing.
This measure not
only reduces the usage of bottled mineral waters, but also it reduces the
environment pollution; as it is a fact it become a common that for every mass
gathering either a political party
public meeting, road show or a marriage or a sports event or a social
event, name anything, the water is served in the bottles either 100 ml, 200 ml
or 500 ml, also there are number of vendors selling the same, also near the
beach’s, near the parks, near the tourist places, near the large pilgrim
places, people purchase, use, just throw the same after the use, hardly any
mechanism to safe disposal, as such making them return to buy a new one at
normal cost will certainly bring a drastic change in the attitude of the
people, people feel more responsible, either they carry their own bottled water
from home, fill water from the RO water available in the nearby vicinity, also
in the marriages, functions mostly RO water served with disposable paper
glasses.
9) BAN ON MANUFACTURE,
SALE, USE OF PLASTIC DISPOSABLE GLASSES TO CONTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
Also Government
must ban manufacture of plastic disposable glasses, As it is a fact that
billions of plastic glasses are being disposed into the garbage, earth, as most
of the wine shops one will find thousands of glasses every day as most of the
people who buy alcohol from the wine shop and have their drink adjacent to the
wine shop by mixing the drink with local brand mineral water/ packaged bottle
water and consume and dispose the same on the road side; also these plastic
glasses are widely used in the functions at homes, at offices to serve the
aerated drinks, or water, and they too are thrown in the garbage; and also it
is a fact that due to the empty packaged water pouches and empty glasses are causing
severe life threats to the cows / buffalos which eat the same along with green/
paper garbage, and are suffering with indigestion for several months and
dying..as such government must ban manufacturing, sale & using of plastic
disposable glasses in the large interest of protecting environment and
protecting the Holy COWS.
10)
MANDATORY INSTALLATION OF RO WATERS AT ALL EDUCATIONAL
INSTITUTIONS, OFFICE ESTABLISHMENTS, BAN ON OFFICE ESTABLISHMENTS BUYING
PACKAGED / BOTTLED MINERAL WATER
INSTALLATION OF RO
WATER DISPERSERS BY GOVERNMENT/ CORPORATE UNDER CSR AT BANK ATMS, FUEL
STATIONS, BUS STATIONS, RAILWAY STATIONS, AND AT ALL MARKET YARDS IN MULTIPLE
NUMBERS TO CATER THE FOOT PRINTS
It is a fact that
most of the people are living thirst as they do not like to drink the municipal
tap water, and cannot afford daily to buy the bottled mineral water, and are
suffering with lot of health disorders due to less water consumption,
especially the work class, more specifically the urban working class). The best
solution to ensure more fresh water available to various sections of people is
by ensuring availability of RO water, which will ensure people drink more water
for healthy life, which means health productivity which means sustained
development of the country.
In order to ensure
RO water is available to all sections of people government must make it mandatory that all
educational institutions, all office establishments (more than 5 employees),
all commercial complexes, all market yards, all bus stations, all railway
stations, all airports, all major religious places, all tourist establishments,
all cinema halls, stadiums, market yards etc
must install latest technology RO water Facilities, in appropriate
number, and government must create a separate department for this to monitor
and maintain the R O Water facility centers functioning with online data of installations
of RO plants, there capacity, the date of periodic maintainance quality of water dispensing, every day,
periodic maintainance, to ensure hygienic surroundings prevail every time in
the surroundings etc and in addition the
information about inform the nearest place of availability of RO water for the
commuters on the streets, highways made available through internet, mobile APP.
Also government must make it mandatory that all
the apartments, gated communities install the RO water facility with the
capacity equal to 5 litres per day per person or 20 litres per house hold, and
supply free of cost to all the house hold, adjusting the maintainance cost from
the amounts collected towards maintainance of other essential services lie
water, electric for common floors, pumping the water from sumps t over had tanks
for distribution to each house hold etc;
Also it should be mandatory to maintain the inventory of use of the RO
water by each house hold, by providing the RO water filled in 20 litres can and
supplying it hose hold; there should be exclusive staff engaged for this work,
or may assign to the existing staff in case of less than 10 households in the
apartment; this measure ensures all the house hold will get quality water, also
it reduces the use of Bolted water.
In addition Government must establish large RO water
plants in all the colonies, slums, all
villages, wards, to ensure all sections of people will get RO water for daily
consumption, government supply RO water for the BPL families free of cost, for
the low income group at cost to cost, for middle income group it is for little
margin, this measure is required to ensure people have access to quality water,
as millions of people are suffering with health discords and Lakhs of people
are losing their life due to water borne diseases. Also this measure reduces
the financial burden on millions of people who do not able to buy bottled water
in the absence of availability of quality water, even when they are thirsty, as a result most
of them are affected with dehydration for some time daily,
To make more
availability of RO water facilities the CSR funds should be diverted to this
for making RO water system in all public places. Also as a CSR any of the
companies should establish RO water plants adjacent to the BANK ATM centers,
Also all the fuel stations must establish RO water facilities so that people
can just fill the water in a bottle or just drink water and go, all the water
disposal systems should be sensor based, and also under CC camera monitoring so
that no misuse happens, also people use judiciously in limit.
Also at all the bus
stands where number of footage is more, so they can just drink the water while
waiting for the bus, even some may fill the water. Also government must ban
begging completely in the country, whether it is in the traffic islands or near
the bus stops, or in the railway stations or at the tourist places or near the
temples;, as most of the people, especially youth in the bus stops many not like to consume water in the public
places mostly because the people who are begging in the streets/ traffic
islands are completely unhygienic appearance with some of them are with dirty
all around due to lack of bathing with stinky smell uses the same RO water
facility, and they do not know how to use with basic cleanliness, making the
facility dirty. To to avoid all these things, in addition to avoid mental
disturbance at the traffic signals, also to reduce emissions from vehicles
government must ban begging in the country, all such destitute must be kept in
separate remand houses and ensure proper counselling for few months, provide
them skill development, send them to their native place and make them join with
their relatives of villagers, provide them some self employment. This measure is very necessary.
11)
MANDATORY SUPPLY OF RO WATER OF AT LEAST 5 LITRES PER
PERSON PER DAY TO ALL EMPLOYEES & WORKERS WORKING ONSITE LOCATIONS IN
BUILDING, ROAD CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS, ETC BY THE EMPLOYER EITHER PRIVATE OR
GOVERNMENT.
Also government
must make it mandatory the responsibility of the employers whether private
organisations or Government MNREGA workers or any other Government / PSU to supply the RO water for all the employees
and the workers working on the onsite jobs whether in the building, road
construction sites or in any open locations, to ensure at least safe drinking
water is provided for the employees, the supply of water should be at 5 litres
of RO water person per day, as it is
fact that many of the construction sites do not have any supply or adequate
supply of even ordinary water, and the construction workers has to bring the
water along with them, generally they carry water in used disposable water
bottles sourced from their homes or enroute from home to site from the local
municipal taps, and the bottles are
exposed to sun every day for long hours, are the water is turning into
hazardous due to the chemicals in the used plastic bottles get dissolved into
the water due to long expose to hot sun, that too daily, whereas most of the
employees working in the same construction
site enjoy drink so called bottled mineral water; Government must ensure all the MNREGA workers
get the RO water, by making it the responsibility of the person engraining the
MNREGA workers to provide with the support of the Sarpanch or other local Government officials, to transport the water from the
Village/ Ward RO water facility established by the Government. By ensuring that
all employers mandatorily provide the RO water too onsite workers the health
risks on account of water can be reduce to a great extent, and there will be
certain amount of more work from the workers and the possibility of completion
of projects before the standard time subjected to other conditions.
12)
MANDATORY FOR MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS TO MAKE BOTTLED
WATER IN BULK TO SUPPLY TO THE INDIVIDUAL HOUSES AND OTHER COMMERCIAL
ESTABLISHMENTS
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the municipal corporations and city water
corporations must manufacture RO water bottled and supply the bulk water (20
litres Can) can be sold to individual households (other than apartments, gated communities,
RWA, which should install their own RO water facility) at cost to cost or with
low margin, in addition to all those office, commercial establishments with
less than 5 employees to ensure quality water available to all.
13)
MANDATORY RO WATER SUPPLY TO EACH HOUSE HOLD IN THE
VICINITY OF INDUSTRIAL ZONES FREE OF COST BY THE INDUSTRIAL ASSOCIATIONS
It is really
pathetic that most of the people living in the vicinity of the industrial estates,
especially the factory workers families are subjected to severe health hazards
on account of consuming contaminated ground water, when it is a fact most them
already suffer with acute air pollution;
so in order to ensure at least they have safe drinking water, government
must make it mandatory that all the house hold in the industrial estates
vicinity of 5 km outer limit of the industrial zone should be supplied with RO water free of cost at 20 litres per house
hold in bottles jointly by the industrial association of that territory by
sharing the expenses for operating the Large RO water plant based on the
turnover of the manufacturing unit & the type of emissions and quantities
of emission. This will certainly improve the health of millions of workers
working in the factories as most of them are living in the habitations near to
the industrial zone, which will help the industries to get more production,
more turnover, on account of more good health of the workers as well as their
families.
14)
MANDATORY R O WATER FACILITIES IN EVERY VILLAGE, EVERY
FARMERS/ FARM WORKER MUST GET RO DRINKING & COOKING WATER FOR THEIR
INDIVIDUAL AND HOUSEHOLD.
It is a fact that
most parts of the Villages Agriculture is a major activity, and it is a fact
most of the agriculture is done by using chemical fertilizers, Chemical
Pesticides (most of them are hazardous) and there is no proper education about the
required quantities to be used, also certainly some quantities of pesticides
goes into the soil, and also no safe disposal of used pesticide containers, as
a result the ground water in the rural areas, especially near the agriculture
fields are fully contaminated with chemicals used as a fertilizer, and chemical
pesticides; it is a fact that most of the farmers, farm workers live adjacent
to the farm/ within the vicinity of the farm, and most of the farm workers and
farmers and their family directly consume the bore water coming from the earth
in the agriculture field (as there is no facility of supply of potable water
from government) , this is one of the main reason that the farmers and farm
workers health getting effected due to excess dissolved chemicals from the underground
water table in the agriculture fields are being consumed along with drinking
water; as such in order to improve the quality of health of the farm workers
and farmers who are providers of food for entire population of the country
through their hard labour, government must establish RO water plants in every
village and ensure every rural house hold get at least 30 litres of drinking
water per family of 4, and all the farmers and farm workers are provided RO
water filled in the Cans free of cost, all the fertilizer companies, all
pesticide companies must provide their CSR funds for installation and operation
of the RO Water facilities in the villages; without which there is no meaning
for respect for the farm workers and farmers in the country; and it is nothing
but we all are thriving at the hard labour of farmers when they are striving. Also
government must provide incentives for all farmers for using less chemical
fertilizers and using more bio fertilizers and pesticides in the larger
interest.
15)
MANDATORY RO WATER USE IN FOOD PREPARATION, IN ALL FOOD
PROCESSING INDUSTRY, RESTAURANTS AND ALL GOVERNMENT MID DAY MEAL SCHEMES AND
ALSO IN ALL WELFARE HOSTELS FOOD PREPARATION AND DRINKING; ICE MANUFACTURE.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the food preparation whether they are commercial food preparation
by the manufacturing companies or SHG or the commercial restaurants, or private
catering cooking food for functions or government mid day meals or the food
prepared in the government welfare
hostels or old age homes must be
mandatorily using the RO water, in addition supply of RO water for drinking by
default, free of cost; Also government must levy 100 % luxury tax on the
bottled mineral water sold in the restaurants, food courts.
Also it should be
made mandatory that food processing industry which uses water as an ingredient
must use only RO water; Also all the ice used in the food processing (in mixing
with fruit juices, ice creamers, milk shakes etc), food storage (aquatic foods
like fish, prawns etc) should be made out of RO water, and all the
manufacturers of ice (ice factories) that is used in food processing units
should use RO water, Also all the buttermilk manufactures and other drinks,
fruit juices where water is mixed must use only RO water. As consuming the
dissolved salts in water through food preparations leads to health hazards,
also using untreated water room temperature foods may lead to health hazards as
the source of water may be contaminated even though it is appearing clean and
colourless, so it is necessary that only RO water used in food preparation to
ensure all the salts in the water are at the standard levels and also it
eliminates the bacteria by and large.
16)
MANDATORY RO WATER FACILITIES IN ALL RELIGIOUS PLACES
FOR SUPPLY OF DRINKING AND COOKING WATER
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the religious places must have RO water plants
based on the number of devotees visiting, in normal days, on special
occasions acquiring the RO water from
the nearby locations to supply to the devotes; as it is a fact most of the
devotes come from far places to visit the religious places, and consume water,
also daily the water is used to offer as THIRATH as sacred water offered to god and served to
devotes in all Hindu religious temples, also the water poured on the idols
during the bathing of the god (ABISEKHAM) and part of the water collected and
added to the THRITH to serve to the devotes, also the water is used to prepare
Prasad, and also most of the temples uses ordinary water at room temperate to
mix in several PRASAD'S like DADDOJANAM (the curd rice), also to serve the
PANAKAM (the jiggery water), also many
religious places prepare the food to serve it devotes as PRASAD in the temple/
gurudwaras ; as such government make it mandatory that all the religious places
are installed with RO water facility in appropriate capacity to ensure average
daily needs are taken care like the water for abisekhams, for cooking food, for
serving water to the devotes etc. this measure is necessary to ensure devotees
do not fall sink in the name of the god.
17)
MANDATORY TO PROVIDE RO WATER FOR DRINKING FOR COWS AND
BUFFALOS IN THE DAIRY FARMS; MANDATORY WATER TRAYS IN EVERY STREET, BIRD BATH
IN PARKS, ALL GATED COMMUNITIES, RWA FOR BIRDS.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all dairy farms provide RO Drinking water for the cows/buffalos
to ensure they drink quality water fresh water, as majority of the milk is
water content and the contaminated waters drinking by the cow/ buffalos has
harmful effect on the humans health by consuming such milk, especially the
children and ailing/ elderly.; Also it is advise all the people who are raising
per animals must be given RO water only.
Also government
must establish in every street end, in every parks, every the large trays to fill the fresh municipal
water every day, for consumption of the stray animals & birds, in addition
government must establish the birdbaths in all public parks and all places
where ever greenery is in existence, also government must make it mandatory
that all the gated communities, all the RWA must establish bird baths and maintain
them to ensure birds consume water and take bath; other than RWA, gated
communities in residential habitations the people should visit and change the
water in the stray animal water trays else the municipal employee who clean the
streets or the sewer works must change the water every day, it is real
humanity, compassion towards creatures;
it is otherwise also considered auspicious.
18)
MANDATORY FOR ALL RO WATER PLANTS TO CONSTRUCT AND
STORE THE WASTE WATER GENERATED; ONLINE DAILY DATA ON THE GOVERNMENT WEBSITE BY
ALL RO WATER PLANTS HE QUANTITIES OF FRESH RO WATER USED, THE WASTE WATER
STORAGE LEVELS, UTILISATION OF WASTE WATER, EXCESS WASTER CAN BE TRADED TO
GOVERNMENT; ALSO DATA OF PERIODIC MAINTENANCE.
Also government
must make it mandatory that RO water facilities located in the public places,
all commercial establishments, private establishments must get registered with
government, also in order to ensure the care is taken for the daily
maintainance should be made mandatory that all RO water plants must update the
quantities of fresh RO water generated, quantities of waste water generated,
stored, used, and the data should be made online, so that government collect the waste water from the
storage tanks in public places, or excess water when the storage is full and
the utilisation of waste water is marginal, also all the residential RO water
waste storage can be traded with government for nominal price; this stored
waste water can be supplied to vehicle service stations and also for the fire tenders,
so that millions of litres of fresh water can be saved. Also there should be an
exclusive government department for maintainance of all RO water plants in
every district. This measure of online daily online data ensures better
assessment and better periodic maintainance and best use of every drop of
water.
19)
MANDATORY THAT ALL VEHICLES WASHING IN SERVICE CENTERS
MUST USE WASTE WATER FROM RO PLANTS, ELSE DRY WASH
Also government
must make it mandatory that all vehicles service stations must use waste water
generated from RO water plants to wash the vehicles in case of water wash; for
this government must ensure all the RO water Treatment plants established in
public places have a storage tanks to collect the waste water generated and
government must supply this water to all vehicle service stations, also all
vehicle service stations must have large storage tanks to store the supplied RO
water, and also all the vehicle service stations must use the pressurised water
cleaning to reduce the quantities if water used, also government must fix the
optimal limit of use of water per vehicle, so that the RO water generated in
all public places is sufficient to supply for the vehicle service stations
through tankers; Also an option should
be given to the vehicle owners whether they go for waste water from RO
plants water wash or dry wash in all the
service stations; RWA should monitor the use of water for cleaning the
vehicles, also RWA must use the waste water generated from RO plants to clean
their vehicles or common areas, in case excess RO water generated, they may
trade the same to the government RO waste water collection centres to collect
the water to supply for vehicle service stations; Levy of heavy fine for
washing with fresh waters, all the vehicles owners/drivers must be educated to
wash the vehicles with less water wiping with dry & wet sponge/cloth only. The
cost of fresh water for vehicle service stations must be 100 % more than the
normal cost of the fresh water supplied to all other commercial use like for
restaurants etc. with complete ban on use of ground water by the vehicle
service stations.
20)
MANDATORY THAT ALL THE FIRE EXTINGUISHER SYSTEMS THAT
RO WASTE WATER
Also it should be
made mandatory that all fire extinguisher systems/ fire engines that uses water
to douse the fire must use only the RO waste water generated from the public RO
plants or from the RO waste water storage from the nearby by enroute
Apartments, Gated communities, RWA, and also government must make it mandatory
that in case of fire emergency the fire tenders can source RO waste water from
any nearby by location ; Also it should be mandatory that all the Apartments,
gated communities and RWA and must maintain the data of the RO waste water
collected in the storage tank daily and up date in the Government online RO
water system, to ensure the RO water generated consumed, the waste water
generated , utilised, and the time for periodic maintainance, and in case
excess waste water unutilised, the same can be sourced by the government from
them and store it and supply it to vehicle service stations and fire stations;
this measure ensure information on quantities of RO waste water stored in the
vicinity of the fire accident, and the fire tenders can source the water from
these waste water storage tanks, this measure saves lot of time for the fire
tenders as the water is available n the nearest possible location from the
operations.
21)
100% TAX FREE DONATIONS FOR ESTABLISHMENT OF RO WATER
FACILITIES
Also government
must create public trust for receiving donations from public for establishment
of RO water facilities; which should be a 100% tax free donation for
contribution to establish RO water facilities in any location whether in the
Educational institutions or old age homes or in public cow sheds by the
government on behalf of the individual. This measure will generate lot of funds;
else government must levy 2% cess on fuels and electricity bills and 5% cess on
the bottled waters, beverages, and 10% on sugar, paper etc for accumulating
funds for establishment of RO water facilities.
22)
ESTABLISHMENT OF WATER PLANTS TO MANUFACTURE WATER FROM
AIR, IN ALL REMOTE VILLAGES WHERE POTABLE DRINKING NOT AVAILABLE; GOVERNMENT
PROVIDE SUBSIDY, INCENTIVES FOR PURCHASE & UTILISATION IN REMOTE AREAS BY
THE PEOPLE.
Also government
must ensure that in all remote places where there is no proper water connection
or facility to ensure Purified water is available to the people living in the
habitations, by providing the water from air manufacturing units which extracts
the water from the moisture and purifies the water and supplies; this facility
can be made available to all welfare hostels in remote areas, all hospitals in
the remote areas, also for the armed forces working in remote areas; government
must provide tax concessions, provide o subsidy like the solar power/ water
heaters to get purchase and use by the people/ institutions in the remote areas
where the moisture content is more, also where the nearby cultivation do not
require moisture.
23)
MANDATORY ACCOUNTABILITY OF USAGE OF WATER BY EVERY
TYPE OF WATER USER RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL & AGRICULTURE;
MANDATORY WATER METERS FOR ALL TYPE USERS; MANDATORY PERIODIC WATER AUDIT
It is a fact till
date there are systems no place to quantify the amounts of water used by all
types of users, only there is some accountability for the municipal water
usage, but again most of the meters are faulty or do not function, also hardly
any accountability for the ground water usage by various types of water, all
leading to some using excess groundwater, by spending more initial investment
in digging deep depths of bore wells, and using higher capacity motors, so there is acute discrimination indirectly,
that those who are having money power can draw more water from depths, as such
most of the people whose bore well are standard depts. Are getting dried and
unusable; also due to rapid urbanisation the small areas the vertical buildings
enabling lot of habitations in limited area, resulting in excess withdrawal of
ground water leading to depend up on the
taker water, again there the taker
waters are also drawing water either river water or the ground water from where
else and selling it for a price, and here also there is no accountability of
how much quantities each house hold or commercial organisation is using; also
the case is same for the agriculture sector, there is no limit for the
withdrawal of the ground water, the more money the farmer invests, the more the
water he/she can withdraw from the ground water, in addition there is optimal
quantities of river water; also similarly the case is same for the commercial
establishments and also the industrial, manufacturing units, all this is
leading waste of large quantities of water unproductively, this can be
contained by way of making every type of water user made to account the total
quantities of water used from whichever source, for this it s necessary to fix
water meters for all types of water users sourcing from all types of resources,
and government set the optimal use of water, to ensure best output for the
quantities of water used.
Also government
must set the limits of use of water at normal conditions at normal rate even
for the agriculture, depending up on the soil type, crop type, the season, and
over and above should be charged at an appropriate rate. This measure ensures
judicious use of water.
Similarly for
commercial use and industrial use every sector wise, every process wise, and
government must ban the process that consume lot of water when alternative
measures are available to process with less water for both commercial and
industrial uses of various types, government must put maximum water quantity
use for various sectors, and over and above use of water should attract
penalty, multiple rate of the optimal optimal water rate.
As it is a fact
that most of the apartments and gated communities have only one principle water
connection for that plot and also most of the apartments do not have individual
water meter, as such misuse of water (the present municipal), wastage is
happening. Also in case all independent
houses whether in RWA, gated communities or Apartments, each individual house
should be equipped with water meters, for municipal water as well as bore
water/ tanker water then each house will certainly use the water judiciously,
there will be a drastic reduction in the demand for water.
Also government
make a data bank of the quantities of usage of water, by all types of water users whether must provide
residential, commercial, industrial or agriculture, water users, whether
sourced from rivers or municipal water or ground water obtained through piped
connection or through tankers. The data of usage of water from the water meters
should be collected every month like the electricity bills and the above
optimal limits should be charged, this measure will certainly reduce the use of
quantity of water
Also government
must make it mandatory that each and every individual house, apartment,
commercial establishment and manufacturing unit must undergo water audit for
the water usage, where they are using water, the quantities are optimum, whether
the process has any scope for improvement, the calibration of water meters,
periodic cleaning of the storage tanks, periodic maintainance of the piping,
and plumbing systems. This measure will certainly reduce the water demand.
24)
GOVERNMENT MUST FIX THE MAXIMUM WATER USAGE LIMIT FOR
INDIVIDUAL HOUSE HOLD OF 30,000 LITTERS PER MONTH FOR EACH HOUSE HOLD; LESSER USE THAN MAXIMUM LIMIT SHOULD GET INCENTIVES,
SIMILARLY MORE USAGE ABOVE MAXIMUM LIMIT LEADY TO LEVY OF ADDITIONAL FINE.
Also government
must fix the maximum usage limit of water per individual house hold of 4 at
1000 litres per day or 30,000 litres per month
the total cumulative water use of fresh water sourced from municipal
water or bore water or tanker water, in case of excess use by any individual
house hold even in the gated communities / apartments must pay additional cess
of extra used water at 1.2 times the normal cost of municipal water, the lesser
quantities must get incentives from government with reduced bill of every 1000
litres less use must get 1% of the bill reduced limiting maximum reduction of
20% of the bill; This measure will benefit lot of user and lot of savings in water
usage resulting in lesser demand, as in the apartment at present there is no
individual meters to measure the usage of water and all the residents are
jointly paying for the water usage, some household use very less water, some household use
excessively wasting unnecessarily, some use the water tub daily wasting lot of
water, all such people can control their water usage by and large, it is up to
them to use water by paying more, in case the water use is more than 60,000
litres, the commercial charges should apply, the commercial charges should be
double the residential charges, so by making meters at every apartment house
hold providing incentives for lesser users will continue to use less, ad those
who are excessively using will control their excessive usage and use
judiciously. Similarly all those who are using the ground water lesser they
will get incentives, and those who are using more than limit get additional
fine, so they will start using water judiciously, draw less water from the bore
wells. So this fixation of maximum water limit of all types of water for the
residential users will certainly save substantial quantities.
25)
EXEMPTION OF MAXIMUM WATER USAGE LIMIT FOR RELIGIOUS
PLACES
The category of
users exempted from maximum quantity use
of water are for religious places like
temple, masjids, churches, gurudwarsas etc. as millions of people visit these
places, however must undergo periodic audit for the use of water, all inlet and
outlet must have water meters and record the usage of water like for cleaning
the sanctum sanctorum, for use in the kitchens, for use by the devotees, for
use in the washrooms etc; also
installation of water conserving systems like sensor based taps, hath facts etc
this measures will certainly make sure water is used judiciously.
26)
THE UPPER LIMIT FOR GROUND WATER FOR COMMERCIAL USERS
SHOULD BE 60,000 LITRES/ MONTH OR 1O LAKHS ANNUAL TURNOVER & THE UPPER LIMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WATER USAGE
FOR COMMERCIAL USE SHOULD BE 60,000 LITRES PER MONTH OR 1 CRORE PER ANNUM IN
URBAN AREAS
The ground water
source must be allowed to be used only by the restaurants, hotels in the city/
rural areas, or by the MSME whose turnover do not exceed Rs 10,00,000 per annum
or who do not use more than 60,000 litres of water per month such as small/
medium bakery, sweet shops, etc.; All other food and beverage manufacturers
whose turnover is more than 10 Lakhs per annum and below 1 cr or uses more than
60,000 litres of water per month and less than 2,00,000 litres per month, can source
water from the government municipal department in cities, beyond this they should source
water directly from the rivers or use desalination plant waters or can use rain
water harvesting or contribute for cloud seeding individually or jointly.
27)
MANDATORY TRAINING OF OPTIMAL QUANTITIES OF WATER USE
FOR VARIOUS RESIDENTIAL PURPOSES, COMMERCIAL PURPOSES
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the residents must be educated to use the water
judiciously for various purposes, all the housemaids must be given special
training in using limited water and full cleaning of the kitchen utensils and cloths
and also limited use of detergents, which type of detergents should be used for
which type of cloths, how much quantities of detergent , how much water they
should use to rinse, the sequence of rinsing of clothes in series to save
water, also must be educated about how to use surface cleaners, the frequency
of use of surface cleaners etc; as it is a fact that since most of the
apartment residences has space constraint, most of the apartments do not have
specific place for washing utensils and washing clothes, even if there exists a
space in some small percentage of apartments, the space is not sufficient for
fully comfortably clean the utensils or wash cloths, as such most of the people/maid
servants and most of the residents especially the women clean their utensils in
the kitchen wash basin using the running tap, without any understanding that
they are wasting hundreds of litres of water just washing few utensils, as unknowingly they just open the tap and do clearing, and
since there is no accountability of individual household use of water in almost
all the apartments, and the water used by individuals are getting adjusted in
the overall use of water;
Also most of the
people in the apartments who otherwise do not use the washing machines washes
their cloths with chemical detergents in the bath rooms, and excessive
detergents in the Grey water collected from the bath rooms are unusable for
recycling for the greenery garden, only they can used to recycle in the toilet
flushes, as such government must educate every individual household and every
servant maid to use the water judiciously in addition ensure no cleaning
chemicals will remain in the utensils/ cloths/floor surface, using stored water
in a container rather than using the running tap, in addition in case they use
the bath rooms to wash the cloths manually, they are advised to discharge/drain
the rinsed water in the toilet commode so that maximum percentage of detergent
chemical water will not enter the bathroom Grey water and the water is quite
safe for recycling.
Also government
provide training to all the bulk cleaning of utensil in restaurants, mid day
meals, in the canteens, in the functions etc how to clean them hygienically
with less detergent and less water; and how to make them free from chemicals
while using the utensils for food preparation and serving the food; it should b
mandatorily to use waste water from RO plants for initial cleaning of the utensils,
and later sterilize the utensils in boiling water; this measure not only saves
water, but also ensures health for the people, especially the children in
educational institutions, also the devotees in the religious places canteens,
also the invites in the functions, also the customers in the restaurants.
In addition
government provide training to the laundry services, hotels staff how to wash
the cloths in bulk, which clothes to be washed first, how to rinse in sequence,
how to ensure no detergent is left in the washed clothes after rising, etc;
Also government must create public awareness through advertisements to make
people understand and adopt the system; these measures of training certainly
saves some percentage of water used.
28)
MANDATORY ALL MOTORS USED FOR WATER PUMPING MUST HAVE
EXCLUSIVE ENERGY METERS TO RECORD THE TOTAL USAGE OF MOTOR, TO DETERMINE THE
QUANTITIES OF WATER AND ALSO HEALTH OF THE PLUMBING SYSTEM.
Also government
must ensure periodic audit of the energy used by the individual house hold, the
apartments, the gated communities and RWA, commercial places like hotels, lodges,
and restaurants, hospitals etc also in the industries also in the agriculture
used motors for lifting the water, pumping the water; for this government must
make it mandatory exclusive energy meters must be used for reading the energy
usage for the water pumping motors, the data should be recorded by the persons
who are recording the monthly water usage meters, the analysis of data of the total water usage
and total consumption of electricity must match with permission of 2 to 3% +or
- , for any ideal running of motors, of the variation is more, then tax should
be levied on the more usage of water arrived from the consumption of electricity
for running the motor, this may be due to excess use of water un authorised, or
poor maintainance of the pipes and plumbing system, so this measure ensures the
water is judiciously used, in addition all the plumbing systems are maintained
periodically, in addition all the motors are in full running condition
operating fully efficient way.
29)
MANDATORY PERIODIC MAINTAINANCE & AUDIT FOR PIPING
SYSTEM FOR ENSURING EVEN FLOW, ALSO ENSURE SAVING OF ENERGY; REPLACEMENT OF
PIPES EVERY 15 YEARS
Also government
must make it mandatory periodic maintainance all plumbing’s, all the pipes must
be UPVC or PE-AL-PE pipes and complete ban on GI pipes/ steel pipes, also
mandatory to replace the pipes every 15 years. Also government must amend
building laws to make it mandatory that all the pipes carrying water must be
through the walls and less than one inch grove from the wall, also every house
must display the water lines in the house through a flow chart plan, to ensure
that in case of any leakages/ replacements, the same can be easily identifiable
and also easily replicable with minimum damage, also all the lines above and
below the pipes must have separate tiles in case bath rooms, Kitchens are tiled
to ensue minimum damage occurrence in case of water pipe repair and replacement
Also government
must make made mandatory flow of fluids audit for every individual home every year
after completion of two years of construction of the house till 5 years, and
after completion total 5 years of use of building every 6 months till 10 years
and after 10 years every three months till 15 years and all plumbing pipes must
be replied totally every 15 years. In the audit government must check the rate
of flow from each pipe, compared to a new pipe rate of flow at the same head,
this will determine the amount of harness material deposited in the inner
diameters of the flow pipes, which will affect the total energy consumption in
case of water lifting pipes till the
tank, also it effects the quality of water due to deposition of blue green
algae etc ; as such government must ensure all the piping systems are get
periodic maintainance using the de-scaling (hardness deposits) removing
solutions where ever possible, also in case the pipes flow is reduced to 50% of
the actual flow, it should be mandatory to replace the plumbing/ piping in that
section. This measure saves lot of
energy.
Also mandatory
every months pipes are checked for any leakages to ensure zero leakages from
the taps, as it is a fact over 10 to 15% of the fresh water is getting wasted
due to leakages of the taps and lack of periodic replacement and using the wear
and tear of taps repeatedly with minor adjustment leading to loss of precious
water.
30)
STRINGENT QUALITY CONTROLS FOR PLUMBING SYSTEMS, LIKE
PIPES, JOINTS, TAPS, WATER CONTROL VALVES, FLUSH TANKS TO ENSURE; MANDATORY
MONTHLY CHECKING FOR HEALTH OF THE TAPS TO CONTAIN LEAKAGES FROM THE TAPS TO
SAVE WATER
It is a fact that
just due to leaks in the pipes, plumbing joints and in the taps the loss of
fresh water is to the tune of 10 to 15 % annually of the total water consumed,
It is a fact that a
facet dripping slowly at one drop per every two seconds time causes a loss of
more than 3,785 litres per year, and a facet dripping at 45 drops per minute
will cause a loss of about 6,000 litres per annum.
Also it is a fact
that the average leaks in the residential toilets as per research is around 20
to 35% which means if there is no periodic maintainance, or if the quality of
the plumbing fixtures is not maintained then the loss of water from the toilet
flush in one urban house hold using 30,000 litres of water per month or
3,60,000 litres per annum, with 20% water used for toilets as per standards of
the total water used which means 72,000
litres of fresh water used by the house
hold for flushing toilets, in the event of at present average house hold
toilets leaks ranging from 20 to 35%, the mean of 30% fixed, then out the 72,000 litres used as flush water more
than 21,000 litres of water wasted annually or 700 litres per month by the
housed which uses 30,000 litres per month; so this much quantity of water per
house hold multiplied by millions of house hold will lead to billions of litres
of loss of fresh water; as such it is necessary that government ensure that
periodic maintainance of plumbing systems by every house hold, especially the
apartments, gated communities, RWA.
Also in case of
using the recycled gray water at homes, apartments, commercial places and also
in all public places, for use in the toilets flush, any leaks in the pipes or control
valves of the pipes, or in the flush system will have some effect on the
health, as leaked pipes are continued to use may generate the algae, bacteria,
fungus etc and may cause some serious health hazards.
As such government
must fix the root cause of the leaks, as most of the plumbing leaks are due to
non quality / sub standard pipes, fittings or the sealing material or the sub
standard taps, sub standard boll joints used to control the release and close
of water from the taps; in addition also lack of quality of the plumbers, as
most of the plumbers are not certified, trained, they use the force by and
large to tighten and open the systems instead of instruments/ tools and use of
non standard procedures with non standard tools also leading to development of
cracks/ leaks in the pipes; so standardisation of the pipes & fittings
& flush systems, with stringent quality control norms a must in addition to
ensure all plumbers are trained, certified, and mandatory only trained
certified plumbers only do plumbing service.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all plumbing related manufacturing must get
registered and the manufacturers association must check the quality standards
among the manufactures of different products,
with tracking from the quality of the raw material sourced, the process
adopted, the quality tests made to ensure the finished product is zero
defective, and reject the non quality items and recycle the same within the
premises of the manufacturing unit, also making the pipes and fittings and
plumbing systems should be sold only to registered end users like builders,
plumbing service providers, with details of end use. Also it should be
mandatory that all the plumbing services should be ordered only through
government registered plumbing service provider, so that the quality of use of
the material can be assured by and large.
Also the
responsibility should be fixed on the plumbing service personal and also on the
product manufacture for leaks; in case leaks are a result of the manufacturing
defect or as a result of the fault service, they should be penalised accordingly;
Also it should be the responsibility of the plumbing service personal to detect
the possible manufacturing defect, and report to the government when visited
for periodic service in each household. Also all the payments to the plumbing
service should be against online bill and payments must be online bank
transitions, with criminal offence to pay cash for plumbing service; Also
stringent punishments for sub standard / non quality certified products sale,
use, or performing plumbing service without registration from government; Also
the data of replacement of plumbing systems from every household/ building and
from each pluming service provider or
the manufacture can be used to assess the manufacturing defects of the
taps, facets etc, also the quality of the service provided by the individuals
due to the time period of repairs / leaks, by and large the data will provide
quality of the product or quality of the service, and government must observe
the deficiency in quality and train
further the service provider or ensure more quality checks for that
manufacture, in case of repeated complaints, the licence of the service
provider and the manufacture should be cancelled. These measures along with
periodic maintainance/ inspection of the plumbing will certainly reduce the
leaks due to adhere to standards by the manufacturers and service providers.
31)
MANDATORY ALL HOUSE, APARTMENTS MUST ACQUIRE
PRESSURISED SPAY SYSTEM FOR CLEANING THE COMMON FLOORS, CORRIDORS, CLEANING HOUSE
WITH WATER ON ANY OCCASIONS.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the apartments, gated communities and all
religious places, all commercial buildings must possess and use the water conservation
devices like pressurised water cleaning machine, for use to clean the floors,
the spray water to gardens etc; and it should be mandatory that in a apartment
and gated community if any house is vacant and need to be cleaned before new
occupant or after white wash to clean or to clean on any occasion they should
mandatorily use the common pressurised
water cleaner, this measure saves billions of litres fresh water getting
wasted, as it is a fact the to clean a room of standard size most of the people
use at least 10 buckets of water which is approximately 200 litres, either by
using the buckets or simply using the running pipe of ½ inch for 5 to 10
minutes running even lose more quantities of water; but still not sure the entire dirt is
cleared, but with the pressurised water jet cleaning with just 1 to 2 buckets
(20 to 40 litres ) at maximum the entire standard room get cleaned, which means
there is a saving of about 80 to 90% of
the water by cleaning through the pressurised jet; similarly the common floors
and corridors, should be cleaned only with pressurised water cleaners, which
will save the water even while using the waste water from the RO systems.
32)
MANDATORY FOR ALL THE PEOPLE INDIVIDUAL HOUSES,
APARTMENTS, GATED COMMUNITIES, RWA FOR PERIODIC MAINTENANCE ONLINE DATA of all
HOME APPLIANCES LIKE USING THE WASHING MACHINES, DISH WASHERS, KITCHEN EXHAUST
SYSTEMS, MINI/ MICRO RO WATER SYSTEMS TO SAVE WATER & ENERGY
Also government
must make it mandatory periodic maintainance of all home appliances in order to
conserve the energy and water; Especially washing machines, dish washer
machines and also the kitchen exhaust chi nines, and each house hold must inform the government
about the same, also it should be the duty of the RWA, Apartment/ gated
community association to ensure that every resident must undergo this in their
presence and submit to the government; this measure is necessary as due to blue
green algae, sediments, the wash machines flow of water is reduced as a result
more time of power consumption, in addition there are occasions many users rewash
already half washed cloths due to stoppage at middle, which will further
consume excess water, as far as the kitchen exhaust fans are concerned due to
lack of periodic maintainance, the kitchen exhaust fans are causing severe air
pollution within the kitchen and also to the entire house hold, already choked
houses the entire family get exposed to the kitchen pollution, the more
vulnerable are the cooks, the women, the infants, children, the aged people,
this measure of periodic maintainance of kitchen exhaust will lead to reduction
of indoor air pollution, in addition to reduction of the usage of electricity
as the load on the motor of the exhaust fan will be less.
33)
MANDATORY DISPLAY OF THE PASSAGE OF FRESH WATER & SEWER
LINES EACH STREET END, THE FLOW/ MARKINGS, AND MANDATORY PERIODIC MAINTAINANCE;
GOVERNMENT MARGINALIZE THE DISTRIBUTION LEAKS BY MONITORING THE HEALTH OF THE
PIPES USING THE TECHNOLOGY
Also government
must make it mandatory to construct separate layers for running the sewerage
pipes and the municipal water pipes, and also the flow of pipes must be
provided in the drawing in every street, that such and such diameters, lengths
of pipes with the flow parameters are
running in this direction, with design of the pipes flow should be made on the
map at every street, and date of periodic maintainance, the contact details of
local authority and hierarchy responsible for periodic maintainance and emergency contact number in case of leakages.
Also government must use technologies to minimize the leakages in the
transmission and distribution by fixing the water meters at every point of step
down and distribution to find out the leakages and real time flow details using
SCADA should shared in the internal network of all the water work departments,
also government must provide smart phones / tablet PC for all worker works
technical team, maintainance team and provide the readings at each nodal point
and flow details and flow design, so that it will be easy for repair and
maintainance and also to minimize the loses.
It is a fact that Leakage in public water
supply systems results in not only loss of treated drinking water but also is a
loss of energy for pumping the water, in addition to causing in damage to the
pipe network, in addition may lead to health disorders due to water
contamination.; also it is fact that as per reports the loss of water from the
supplier side it s is 30 to 40 % in some places, result water scarcity in some
part of the city; also government must put details online the quantities of
water flow from the starting point to the end point ice the sump of the
individual house hold every day. Also penalise for the maintainance staff if
the water works authority in case of leakage of the pipe in the supply line due
to maintainance fault or n case of the fault is due to the sub standard works
of the contractor, the person/ organisation which executed the supply pipe line
work must be penalised. This measure will certainly make the suppliers are more
attentive ad ensure the leaks are reduced by and large.
34)
MANDATORY TOILET FLUSH SYSTEMS ARE WATER CONSERVING,
GOVERNMENT PROVIDE INCENTIVES FOR SHIFTING TO WATER CONSERVING TOILETS TO
REDUCE BLACK WATER GENERATION
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the toilets flush must be of latest technologies with less water
usage and more quantity of flush, like LED Bulbs government must make sure all
the public toilets, toilets in commercial places must change to latest
technology water flush units in the first phase, and in the second phase all
the apartments, gated communities and RWA must change their toilet flush system
that are water conserving (ideal to adopt to such water conserving flushes even
while using the recycled Grey water for flushing to reduce the generation of
black water), as far as individual houses other than in the gated communities/
RWA, it is up to them whether to change to latest technology water conserving
flush systems or pay additional amount monthly for generating more black water;
this measure is necessary as INDIA being the DIABETIC capital of the world,
millions of people use toilets frequently, which will increase the black water
largely, which cannot be recyclable, so to reduce the black water quantity,
government must make sure they adopt the less water usage flush system.
35)
MANDATORY AUTOMATED SENSOR BASED WATER DISPENSING TAPS
IN ALL PLACES WHERE THERE IS WASH BAIN TO SAVE WATER
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the hotels, restaurants, all public toilets
rooms where wash basins are fixed, must be equipped with sensor based automatic
water dispenser taps, this measure saves billions of litres of fresh water; as
it is a fact that most of the people in the restaurants after consuming the food
or after the toilet uses the wash basin tap to wash the hands in this process
they open the tap with hand (most of them touch the tap to open the tap with
right palm which they consumed food sticked to the palm or some left hand); and
take the whatever soap /hand wash if available otherwise also rub the hands for
a while and then again put the hands under the water; in this process lot of
water getting wasted un used without serving any purpose; also government must
make it mandatory for all new constructions for residential, commercial
purposes, where ever there is wash basin, the taps must be sensor based
automatic dispensers, the existing must replace the conventional taps with
sensor based automated taps or pay more for using conventional taps, this measure
is necessary to conserve water as all
residential places after the food eating most of the people in the urban areas
who has wash basins will do the same way of wasting water by washing hands in
open tap; also most of the men in the urban areas while performing the shaving
for their bread at home they open the tap and do the shaving thus causing loss
of water; also this connectional taps are causing some health hazards as every
user need to open and close with hand and there is no guarantee that the hands
are not infected, and the same infections may be transmitted to other users via
tap due to hands rotation for opening and closing; in case even if everyone in
the public place open once and close one with hand certainly certain amount of
contamination occurs which itself causes severe health risks for millions of
people, not only at public places, but also at homes as the kind of bacteria
generated is same, in addition washing the tap head/ opening with water
repeatedly makes the tap head get spoiled due to corrosion and get jammed and
need frequent replacement, as such in order
so government must make it mandatory that all wash basins (at dining
hall or at bath rooms or at kitchen) must be equipped with automated sensor
based water dispenser daps, which will save billion of litres of fresh water,
also reduce billions of litres of dark water.
36)
MANDATORY PERIODIC CLANGING OF WATER STORAGE TANKS TO
PREVENT FORMATION OF BLUE GREEN ALGAE AND OTHER SEDIMENTS DEPOSITION TO ENSURE
EVEN FLOW OF WATER
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the independent houses, all the apartments and
gated communities, all the RWA, commercial, industries must provide the data of
the storage tanks and their capacity and government must make it mandatory that
every three months the storage tanks must be cleaned and the data of the
cleaning of the storage tanks must be given to the government, and all the
storage tanks must be cleaned with the government information from the
registered trained shortage tank cleaning staff, also government make it
mandatory that storage tanks cleaning job should be done by the people from the
community, who are used to clean the sewage tanks, but the cleaning staff who
cleans the storage tanks do not clean the sewerages, and are exclusively
trained for storage tank cleaning, and do only storage tank cleaning, they must
be equipped with safety apparatus and trained for crises management. This
measure saves billions of litres of water, also saves electricity and also the
life cycle of the pipes and washing machines, dish washers and also the Home RO
water systems as without periodic maintainance/ cleaning of the water storage
tanks both underground and over head tanks, the water storage tanks are
subjected to deposition of slit, sediments that are coming along with water
which are settled down, in addition there is formation of blue green algae, and
also some other water bone bacteria, insects, pathogens are getting developed
for no maintainance or no periodic maintainance; as a result when the same
water is pumped the sediments are getting deposited over a period of time to
the inner diameters of the pipes and the flow become reduced as a result more
consumption of power and also due to the sediments, silt, blue green algae the
flow at the washing machines and dish washers which are coned to the taps is
getting effected and as a result they are taking more time to wash or stopping
in the middle of wash forcing to rewash, so consuming more water, in addition
there is every danger of health risks in case the water is used for food
preparation in the room temperature process like adding in foot juices or in
butter milk etc or in the process of food preparation without RO water, or
cleaning the raw food with ordinary tap water (like salads, fruits etc), so it
is ideal and necessary that every water storage tank must get cleaned
periodically in every house hold, especially the apartments, gated communities,
the RWA and also all commercial places of bulk water use like restaurants,
bakeries, food courts etc .
37)
MANDATORY GOVERNMENT MUST CLEAN THE WATER BODIES AND
RIVER STREAMS TO REMOVE THE SILT AND DIG MORE DEPTHS OF THE LAND LOCKED WATER
BODIES FOR MORE WATER STORAGE
It is a fact that
due to deposition of sediments and formation of silt in the water bodies, the
cannels and in the natural dams, the storage capacity of the rain water or
river water holding capacity is getting decreased, so in order to ensure more
water is stored there is acute need of
periodic maintainance of the water bodies’ river cannels; for this government must conduct the geo mapping of
all rivers, water bodies, cannels, government must in estimate the quantities
of water storage capacity of the water bodies, especially the land locked rain
dependent water bodies and government must ensure periodic maintainance, Also
government must estimate the over flow of rivers and water bodies in the event
of floods or release of water from the upstream dams and estimate how much more
depts. They can make to store the water in the event of large quantities of
water released from the upstream rivers/ dams, depending up on the usage of
water for agriculture and industrial purposes, also ideal that in the more
water usage territories the storage depths are digged ensuring more water
availability for all seasons.
38)
LUXURY TAX ON SWIMMING POOLS & BATH TUBS
Also government
must levy heavy luxury tax on swimming pools in commercial and residential
establishments (exemption for exclusive sports training swimming pools),
mandatory that swimming pools must make record online the usage of water,
treatment, discharge of water. This measure is necessary as millions of people
are starving for water someone will enjoy the luxury of swimming in the pools
with thousands of litres of water getting wasted. The so called health benefits
if at all they are getting should not take the life of some other due to lack
of water, in case they want luxury they should pay 10 times the cost of normal
water for swimming pools every month.
Also government
must levy luxury tax on the so called bath tubs in the residential and commercial
places, as the so called bath tubs are using hundreds of litres of water which
is getting waste for productive work except the so called proud feeling/ ego of
the so called upper echelons that they taken the bath tub water, (also some
people with wisdom feel that most of the people who are ‘addicted’ to taking
bath in the bathtubs are sick in mind and will stoop down to any levels keeping
aside morals, values, ethics for their personal enjoyment, as enjoyment is paramount
for them and everything else is trash). So government must levy luxury tax
every month, for all Independent homes, apartments, hotels having the bath tubs
in the household for all existing bath tubs, in order to reduce the usage of
future installation of bath tubs government must levy luxury tax on the
manufacturers of the bath tubs. Also all the apartment associations, gated
community associations, RWA must provide the data of swimming pools and also
household wise data of bath tubs.
39)
MANDATORY FOR PRIVATE WATER TANKERS TO GET REGISTERED
WITH GOVERNMENT, MANDATORY TO ORDER PRIVATE WATER TANKER THROUGH APP WHICH IS
GPS LOCATION BASED AND WITH REAL TIME INFORMATION ON THE WEB FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
ORDERED; MANDATORY ORDERING OF WATER TANKERS (GOVERNMENT & PRIVATE) THROUGH
GOVERNMENT ONLINE, MOBILE APP, ALL PAYMENTS THROUGH ONLINE BANK TRANSACTIONS
As it is a fact
that due to short supply of municipal water which is otherwise considered as
drinking water for being sourced from the rivers/water bodies considering they
are having less dissolved chemicals/ less harness compared to ground water
which is otherwise certainly more harder then river water, but due to rapid
urbanisation and industrialisation the rivers are depleting faster, in addition
indiscriminate construction and blocking of the upstream river, the municipal water supplies are getting
reduced in many cities year after year; in addition due to more concrete
constructions in limited space with over drawing of water, also no space for
rainwater to get into ground, leading to
depletion of ground water, as a result more and more urban habitations are
dependent up on the tanker water, where the tankers source water from the
rivers or from the ground water tables
of non residential habitations and supply to the habitations; in this
process there is no accountability for the private water tankers for sourcing
of water or supply of water, as such in order to stream line the private water
tanker supplies in the cities/ urban areas
government must make it mandatory that all private water tankers
suppliers must get register with government, and they should get their tanks
inspected every month for the volume of the tankers, also every tanker must get
the meter attached to it at discharging
points ; also government must fix the rate of water fixed for entire state/
country or the quantities of water, and the transportation cost must vary
depending up the distance between source and destination point; government must
make it mandatory GPS mandatory for all water tankers, also mandatory is dash
cams to record the driving of the tankers, in addition all waters must be
operated on CNG / LNG with complete ban on diesel or petrol vehicles.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the water tankers (Government & private) ordering
must be routed through government; it should be made mandatory that all the
independent houses, RWA, Gated
community, Apartment associations, commercial users must register with with
government to order the water tankers through the government website by providing
municipal water meter connection number (already some water boards doing
this only for supply of government
operated tankers, but no control over the private tankers, that is where water
mafias are ruling), and government allocate the water tankers both private or
government to the people who ordered by GPS optimisation to ensure that the
shortest distance from the source to the place of requirement is made, Also
government must put it on the web and accessible to the association/ person
ordered the water tanker the details of vehicle, details of driver, details of
capacity, details of time of starting from the source, details of time of
deliver through one time pass word with each order.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the water delivery must be under CC cameras at
the discharge locations either by the associations, or by the individuals or by
the tankers supplier for quantity though observing the water meter at the
discharge for the quantity; Also all the payments must be routed through
government only through bank payments online; and complete ban on the payments
by cash, it should be criminal offence to supply water un-authorised-ly or
accepting cash
This measure
ensures the sourcing of water is known and no abuse of ground water over
extraction, also all the water sourced is not contaminated and safe to use for
domestic purposes, also the water tankers water will not be used for used by
the local bottled manufacturers or local other manufactures using water and
discharging the waste water without any kind of treatment.
40)
MANDATORY THAT ALL WATER TANKERS CARRYING WATER TO
RESIDENCES WITHIN THE CITIES MUST BE OPERATED ON CNG/LONG/ELECTRIC; MANDATORY
SPEED GOVERNORS FOR WATER TANKERS/ FLUIDS CARRIERS FROM DISTILLERIES/
EFFLUENTS; FIXED NUMBER OF TRIPS DAILY PER VEHICLE
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the water tankers whether operated by the
government municipalities/ government water supply department or by the private
water tankers must be operated using the CNG/ LNG/ ELECTRIC only, in order to
reduce the pollution emission within the residential habitations; as these
water tankers do several trips every day causing heavy pollution every day
using the diesel as fuel, as such by making mandatory use of CNG/LNG/Electric
the pollution can be reduced to a considerable extent in the residential
habitations.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the water tanker vehicles whether operated by
Government or Private, all other vehicles carrying fluids, industry
effluents, must be fitted with speed
governors, also there should be fixed number of trips per daily in 24 Hours,
and fixed number of trips per single driver with maximum of 8 hours working per
driver, all drivers must be full time drivers, they should not work as driver
or any other duty after completion of 8 hours duty on these vehicles; these
measures are necessary to reduce the accidents occurring on account of over
speeding, rash driving due to fatigue.
41)
GOVERNMENT PROVIDING INCENTIVES FOR GATED COMMUNITIES,
RWA, FOR CONSTRUCTION TANKER WATER STORAGE AND SUPPLY INSTEAD OF TANKERS GOING
INDIVIDUALLY TO EACH HOUSE IN THE GATED COMMUNITY, RWA; ALSO MANDATORY THAT ALL GATED COMMUNITY HAVE ONE
SINGLE LOCATION STORAGE AND SUPPLY OF TANKER WATER FOR RESIDENTS.
Also government may
provide one time incentives for RWA to build a large capacity underground/ over
head tank for entire colony/ gated community for storage and supply of tanker
water, in addition the water release pipes and control systems, so that those
houses which require additional quantities for that house only water should get
release from the main over head storage tank, and all other homes in that
series of pipes must get their valves closed, in addition there should be auto
supply cut off instruments must be placed so that the water can be supplied to
any individual homes from the main tank, and all the tankers can discharge
their water in the main tank and no need to go home to home to supply the water
for every house that requires additional water; this measure is necessary in
order to contain movement of tankers frequency inside the RWA/ Gated Community,
Since diesel tankers emit lot of pollution, Even in case they use CNG still
they generate large noise pollution, with heavy CC vehicles emitting enormous
amounts of pollution several times a day while travelling inside the RWA, Gated
community internal roads causing severe health disorders. This can be minimised/
avoided in case entire RWA/ Gated community has one water storage and supply
large tank for the tanker water.
42)
MANDATORY FOR ALL THE DISTRICTS NEAR THE SEA COST MUST
USE AT LEAST 25% OF THEIR TOTAL WATER DEMAND SUPPLIED THROUGH DESALINATED WATER
PLANTS; MANDATORY FOR COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS TO USE THE DESALINATED WATER.
Also in order to
reduce the load on the municipalities to supply the fresh potable water,
government must make it mandatory that all the districts, in the sea cost along
the India must mandatory install and supply the desalinated water with minimum
of 25% of their total demand and supply,
as it is a fact the municipalities and districts are drawing water from
rivers running for several hundreds of kilometres, which can be reduced, and
the 25% quantities can be utilised in the non costal Districts to increase the
supply of municipal water in non seacoast districts, thus reducing the
excessive extraction from ground water table and also reduction of tanker water.
And also more water for industrial and agriculture.
As such GOI must
provide financial aid for the state governments for implementing this measure
of desalinated water supply in the sea costal districts; also governments must
provide incentives and tax concessions for the private commercial units/ manufacturing
units / industrial associations installing the desalination plants in the
costal districts for captive consumption.
Also it should be
made mandatory that all the industrial & commercial establishments in the
costal districts must mandatorily use 100 % quantities of their water
requirement from the desalinated water supplied by the municipality or they install
their own plant; also government must absorb the cost difference of
desalination water while supplying in 25% 75 % ratio, of the desalinated water
and river water and the cost of unit should be equated for all the users in the
sea costal districts.
This measure
ensures that the load on the municipalities for sourcing water from rivers,
especially during the dry periods, summers will be reduce, in addition the
transportation costs of the water reduced, also the same amount (25%) of river
water or rain water can used in non costal districts/ cities so that their
supply demand can be matched. As at
present for filtering the normal river water before sending into portable
drinking pipelines lines it cost Rs 7 to 10 for a 1000 Litres of water, where
as for desalination it takes 40 to 55 Rs per Kilo litre, so by making mandatory
that 25% of the water to be supplied should be from desalination process, then
if the cost of processing of river water of 1000 litres on average is Rs 8, for
desalination of 1000 litres is 40, then 75:25 ration will make the cost of 1000
litres mixed water at 16 rupees; in order to reduce the burden that government
must absorb the additional cost of 8 Rs per 1000 litres for or all residential users, with certain
conditions, also must levy the cost to cost to all other uses like commercial
users, industrial users; All the residential users must made mandatory to use
50% of the Grey water generated should recycled and reuse, which reduces the
demand for fresh water to the extent of 20 to 25%, as it is a fact that the
water used in the toilets flush considered as Black Water accounts for 20 to
30% of total water usage, if the mandatory recycle of Grey water is made to use
in toilets flushing the amount of fresh water saved is 20 to 30 %.
In addition other
mandatory water conservation is at least remaining 10 to 20% demand of fresh
water; so the effective demand of water reduces by at least 30% on an average
on the individuals so the demand for
fresh water reduced by 30%, which leads to cost of fresh water bill on an
average is reduced by 30% which means for every 1000 litres of water usage they
pay a bill of 16 Rs, with 25% desalinated water 75 % fresh water, with reduced demand of water by 30% the demand for fresh water is only 700 litres
and so the effective cost on average will get reduced by 30% i.e. 11,20 Rs, so
the average hike on the bill of individuals user charges is just 11% more; also
government should compensate this 11% by absorbing themselves, in order to
encourage the water conservation ensuring that incentives for the individuals,
apartments, gated communities for converting more than 50 % Grey water recycling,
and excess Grey water can be supplied back to government, and government must
buy back excess Grey water other than the minimum re usage and supply the same
to be used in public toilets places at bus stations, railway stations,
commentarial complexes, all the hotels, educational institutions etc for use in the toilet flush at a nominal
cost for transportation; Also even
though the commercial users are charged at cost to cost, of Rs 16 per 1000
litres (25% desalinate : 75% river water), since they too mandatorily use re
cycle of water or use recycle of water, certainly there will be reduction of 20
% demand in most commercial users, and some commercial users even more than
40% reduction due to recycle, so the
overall burden on commercial users bay be raised by 20 % on the present cost.
So this measure is viable without much additional burden, the benefits are huge
due to savings of 25% of river water of the total demand in the costal
districts/ cities, for being that 25% water used in several ways in non sea
costal districts and the productivity will get improved substantially (both
agriculture, industrial) also the health care of the people in the costal
districts as well as the non costal districts will improve due to sufficient
quantities of availability.
43)
PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN DESALINATION OF WATER AND SUPPLY
TO GOVERNMENT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO HOUSE HOLD
Since initial
investment and running costs are high for the desalination of water, government
may encourage private investment in treating the sea water i.e. desalination
water in all costal districts, the private desalination plants supply the water
only to government water boards, and government water boards will distribute
the water to the territories near to the desalination plant so that the transportation
can be reduced for the Water Boards; also
the price should be fixed for the cost of desalination; this process of private investment in
desalination is more or less like
extraction of gas from the river gas basins, but unlike the gas prices, the
water prices should be fixed limited margin throughout life time of the plant
operation. The actual cost of desalination should be decided by the government.
44)
GOVERNMENT CONSTRUCT EARTH
DAMS IN CITIES & RURAL AREAS; GOVERNMENT MUST CREATE RAINWATER STORAGE
TANKS EACH VILLAGE WISE, WARD WISE IN THE LOW GRADIENT AREAS TO COLLECT &
PRESERVE THE RAIN WATER.
GOVERNMENT CREATION
OF EARTH DAMS IN GOVERNMENT LANDS IN THE HIGH WAYS, RAILWAY LANDS ETC AND
PROVIDE THE ADJACENT LAND FOR CULTIVATION FOR FREE OF COST FOR THE UN EMPLOYED
YOUTH BY LOTTERY SYSTEM; MANDATORY USE OF MNREGA WORKERS FOR CREATION OF EARTH
DAMS IN STRATEGIC LOCATIONS
As it is a fact that Rain water is one of the purest water on the earth,
and in rainy season abundant of rains in many parts of the country, and if the
rain water captured and stored will be useful for several purposes; this rain
water stored will certainly reduce the demand for ground water and municipal
water to a considerable extent, as such government must make focus on using the
natural rain water, as such government
must identify the low lying areas where water get accumulated in case of rains,
and build a huge pits of large diameters and depths (just above the underground
water tables in that territory) to collect the rain water to form a natural lake, and
use this water for providing water for the public gardens, plants on the
pavements, also for the public toilets flush system in cities, the same stored
water can be used for agriculture. This measure saves billons of litres of
ground water from drawn from deep depths.
Also government
must maintain ward wise, street wise public trees and the watering should be
done in a drip irrigation method, where ever possible, using the stored rain
water, for this government must construct rain water storage tanks every
street, and pump the rain water collected to it and municipal employees draw
the water every alternative day in a Tricycle (non polluting) in cans and pout
every tree wise in the street. This measure not only ensures maximum of amount
of municipal/ ground water is conserved (as properly stored rainwater will last
for nearly 4 to 6 months)
Also government
must create earth dams for rain water harvesting in the government lands, in
the railway lands, in the state and national highways sides/ road banking and
the land adjacent should be given for landless farmers/ un employed youth for
cultivating on nominal lease rent, extendable year after year based on the
cultivation/ yield with standard inputs, and after continuous performance of
yield for 6 to 7 years the property rights only for cultivation must be
transferred to the concerned individual with a pre condition that in case the
land is required for the government, it should be returned and no court cases
entertained, an alternative land is shown to them, this is more or less similar
to assigned lands of government providing to SC ST people, but this vacant
lands near earth dams can be given to all sections who are un employed,
landless on lottery system among the applicants with public notice on the
government website and also in the nearby gram panchayats and in open lottery
among the applicants in presence of gram Sabha, the youth, females should be
given preference, this measure not only reduces the unemployment, but also it
improves agriculture production, better utilisation of natural water, also
prevents soil degradation. Also it is ideal that the MNREGA works should be
executed for creation of rain water harvesting earth dams, for preserving the
rain water during rainy season/ during floods. The payments for the MNREGA
workers for this work will be fully justified as this earth dams are not only
permanent assets but also provides livelihood indirectly to several people.
45)
MANDATORY FOR ALL RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL
ESTABLISHMENTS TO CONSTRUCT UNDER GROUND PITS/ STORAGE TANKS FOR RAIN WATER
STORAGE
Also government
must make it mandatory to create a separate storage tank for all the
residences, apartments to store rain water collected and pumped by pipe to storage
tanks of each house for use for kitchen gardening, and washing clothes, for
this government must have a fixed designs depending up on the volume of storage
tanks, the available space at present in the existing independent houses,
apartments, office establishment complexes etc, the volume of the storage
depends up the rain fall average in that territory in volume, average number of days of rain fall, total approximate quantities per
sft, also the average area of terrace in the building, and based on this parameter
the rain water storage tanks has to built in every home under ground or use the
plastic tanks to store; the un covered open areas can be left to receive rain
water, for the getting absorbed into ground; also for the gated communities and
RWA, commercial areas the un covered
areas rain received if over flowing due to concrete flooring must be tapped and
stored in an underground storage created in the direction of low lying flow so
that even that water can be used for two to three months for gardening,
vehicles cleaning and clearing of common floors in the gated community,
RWA. This will further save billions of
litres of ground water and municipal water.
46)
MANDATORY THAT ALL THE INDIVIDUAL HOUSES APARTMENTS,
GATED COMMUNITIES, RWA, OFFICE COMPLEXES MUST PROVIDE TREE CENSUS AND GARDEN
LAWN DETAILS; MANDATORY ALL LAWNS USE HARVESTED RAIN WATER, RO WASTE WATER, OR
RECYCLED GREY WATER ONLY, ELSE PAY LUXURY TAX
Also government
must make it mandatory all the RWA, gated communities, office campuses, parks
must provide the census of trees, greenery raised by them along with
photographs, also it should be mandatory that all green lawns must be fixed
with sprinklers, all the big trees must be provided with drip irrigation system
so that lot of water is saved at the same time greenery is also maintained, and
either the rain water or waste water from RO plants or recycled Grey water must
be used to wet the gardens and lawns.
Also in case the
lawns do not want to use rain water or treated Grey water, government must levy
luxury tax on those RWA. Gated Communities, office establishments and
entertainment centers like hotels, restaurants, and also the individual homes
which lays the green lawns, as it is a fact that to maintain the lawns lot of
water is getting consumed to keep it green, as such the luxury tax should be
levied.
47)
MANDATORY FOR RESIDENTIAL HOUSES, COMMERCIAL COMPLEXES,
GOVERNMENT BUILDINGS TO RAISE TERRACE GARDEN IN POTS OF 10 POTS MINIMUM FOR
1000 Sft TERRACE/ OPEN SPACE FOR ORGANIC CULTIVATION LEAFY VEGETABLES USING THE
HARVESTED RAIN WATER / TREATED GREY WATER; GOVERNMENT PROVIDE INCENTIVES, VERMI
COMPOST AT NOMINAL RATE; KITCHEN/ TERRACE GARDEN VEGETABLES ONLINE TRADE FOR
TRADING/ BARTER THE EXCESS PRODUCTION
Government must
make it mandatory terrace gardening in all open spaces in the buildings whether
residential, commercial, or government, and each house hold, apartment or gated
communities should raise at minimum 10 pots of leafy vegetables in the terrace;
in apartments and high rise buildings the vertical garden on the terraces; 100
pots of leafy vegetables in 1000 Sft area of terrace in the horizontal, in the
vertical the same terrace of 1000 Sft can be used for rising from 600 to 1000 pots in vertical layers;
which can cater entire apartment/high raise for the leafy vegetables
consumption.
Government must
provide incentives/concessions for establishment of terrace gardening, and
raising more pots. Leafy vegetables (like coriander, spinach, mint, etc) also
vegetables like green chillies, tomato, brinjol, cabbage etc also can be grown
in the terraces of the individual houses, apartments, gated communities using
the harvested rain water/ waste water from air conditioners / treated &
recycled Grey water, it not only makes the people healthy by consuming fresh
vegetables grown in their terrace, but it also provides lot of health due to
the fact that for caring for watering daily, it is one form of exercise for the
body, also it provides self satisfaction / un known happiness by seeing the greenery,
it reduces stress. Also it reduces the monthly vegetables expenditure substantially;
Also it should be mandatory that each apartment/gated community must
engage/employ trained gardens (temporary hire / permanent depending up on the
number of habitations in the apartment) to raise these leafy vegetables
throughout the year. This measure makes serious attempt by the apartment and
gated communities towards terrace gardening.
Also government
must provide the terraces of government buildings and also the free land in the
government office compounds for raising the vegetables/ leafy vegetables by the
employees associations using the harvested rain water or treated Grey water and
the same can be sold to the employees at a nominal price. For this either government
horticulture department may establish a separate wing to exclusively monitor
and raise the leafy vegetables in verticals or alternatively private
horticulture agencies used to build the vertical terrace gardens with hundreds
of pots in the vertical steps and raise the leafy vegetables.
This measure
ensures people will be habituated to eat leafy vegetables daily. This is very
healthy otherwise, leafy vegetables can be raised throughout the year, and
there will not be any issue.
It is a fact that most
of the people in the urban areas are anaemic especially the females and
children, due to lack of vitamins, iron deficiency in the food, which can be
obtained by eating green leafy vegetables, also it helps in better digestion,
and metabolism, even though if some people are consuming most of the green
leafy vegetables in the cities/ urban areas are cultivated in the dirty waters
near the sewerage stagnated waters, or
with black waters stagnation areas, which is causing severe health
hazards, as it is a fact that transportation of the green leafy vegetables from
other places is un viable due to quick perishable nature of the green leafy
vegetables with short life span after it is removed from the earth or cut from
the plant, as such mostly grown in the black water areas in the city outskirts
are being supplied & sold even in the so called costly super markets; since
India has young population of below 35 years over 70%. Which young children
born for them, also growing children require more green leafy vegetables, also
the elderly and aged required, so by making it mandatory that every house
should raise at least 10 pots of green leafy vegetables will certainly bring a
sea change in the health of the individuals, which will further translate into
improved productivity of the country.
The above measures
also generate employment to millions of people as gardeners, as each city has
more than 30 thousand apartments/ gated communities, which means at least
30,000 people can be employed as gardeners, government must introduce a
certified gardener course to rise the gardens and plants, so by adopting this
measure, government must make it mandatory that each apartment, gated
community/RWA must have at least one gardener as permanent employee for every
1000 pots maximum i.e. for every 100 flats, in case independent houses in a
gated community one gardener for every 30 houses irrespective of number maximum
pots. This measure will yield the desired results, as most of the leafy
vegetables cultivated are by organic farming, as government can supply at
nominal cost the vemi compost generated from the bio mass in the cities can be
converted into vermin compost and supplied to each apartment/ housing society
at minimal price after loading the conversion and transportation charges.
Also government may
create an online vegetable exchange, for either trading the excess leafy
vegetables for a price or for barter system, so that there will not be any loss
in case of non captive consumption of the terrace/ kitchen gardening; since the
mobile app pickup and delivery service providers are already in the, market,
their services can be used for barter or trade delivery of kitchen garden or
terrace garden by the registered persons/ associations.
48)
BAN ON CULTIVATION OF HORTICULTURE/ AGRICULTURE IN THE
VICINITY OF POLLUTED WATER BODIES, USING THE UNTREATED EFFLUENT WATERS
Also government
must ban cultivation, horticulture, especially the leafy vegetables in the
black waters / contaminated polluted waters, using such waters, in the vicinity
of the effluent discharges, as it has harmful effects on the health of the
people who consume it. It should be criminal offence to grow food plants,
vegetables in the black water /stagnated water; Also government must make it
mandatory that all the leafy vegetable producers, bulk sellers bust register
with government and provide the information of place of growth every time
certified by the horticulture department. Also it should be made mandatory all
the retailers (especially the super markets) must obtain the chain of source
(from cultivation to retailer shop).
49)
MEASURE TO REDUCE AIR POLLUTION IN CITIES ON ROADS
THROUGH REDUCING VEHICULAR POLLUTION FOR ENSURING BETTER RAIN AND PURE RAIN
WATER AVAILABLE FOR HARVESTING
It is a fact that
the pollution effects the rain fall, also the quality of water obtained from
the rain water, the measures of effluents treatment and discharge of gases from
the industries regulated through continuous treatment and monitoring, but the
other major factor for the contribution of pollution in the cities is the
vehicular pollution; which need to be addressed to ensure not only people breath quality air but also people get
quality rainwater for best use to reduce the load of ground water, improve waters in river waters; for this government must ensure more space utilisation
for less fuel burning per vehicle, for this in addition to use of multimode
transport in the cities, also need is partial commercialisation of personal
passenger vehicles (especially the people who are using the vehicles for desk
to desk jobs) to pick up and drop people enroute, same place of work for a
commercial payment to reduce the load on the multi mode transport, also reduce
the vehicle traffic density on the roads, thus reduce pollution levels; in addition
government must make it mandatory all educational institutions all employees
office establishment must use mass transport with ban on use of personal
vehicles, in addition different timings for various purposes in the territories
to reduce traffic density and thus pollution.
50)
ALSO USE OF RO-RO SHIPPING TO TRANSPORT GOODS ACROSS
THE COSTAL DISTRICTS USING SEA COST TO REDUCE THE POLLUTION IN MAXIMUM NUMBER
OF CITES
ALSO CREATION OF
MORE RAILWAY SIDINGS IN ALL MAJOR AGRICULTURE MARKETS, AND INDUSTRIAL ZONES TO
REDUCE THE ROAD TRANSPORT TO REDUCE AIR POLLUTION TO ENSURE QUALITY RAIN.
Also government
must ensure reduction of use of road transport in the goods carriers which is
one of the major contributor of the pollution not only in the cities but all
across the country; so the best means to reduce the pollution of goods vehicles
is to reduce the length of travel of the goods vehicles by creating the RO-RO
transport system in the country across all the sea ports to carry the goods
vehicles in the ship from the ports to transport in sea route, so that maximum
length of transport of the goods vehicles get reduce thus the pollution get
reduce drastically in the costal districts by and large.
As such it is
necessary that Government establish RO
RO (Roll On Roll Off) Shipping, which is widely used internationally to carry
the automobiles, if this measure is introduced in INDIA to start with covering
all 12 major ports, the heavy vehicle truck pollution can be reduced to a great
extent, as one 20,000 DWT(dead weight tonnage)
Ship can accommodate around 800 to 1000 Trucks of 12 MT, so several
thousand litres of diesel can be saved from burning on the roads,(Ex. a truck
carrying goods from cost of Gujarat to
cost of Tamil Nadu, the truck needs to travel over 2500 Km approximately, total
fuel consumed by each truck on an average of 5 kilometres per litre, which
means for travelling 2500 kilometres will take 500 litres of diesel, suppose
over 1000 trucks plying every day in between these destinations, then for 1000
trucks near about 5 lakh litres of diesel is burnt, where as if these 1000
trucks go in a RO-RO SHIP it consumes less than 100 - 150 litres per hour ship
journey on the sea, with approximately 5
– 6 days to rah from Gujarat to Tamil
Nadu, which means an average of 150 hours of ship on the sea, adding all extra
time for weighting, loading, un loading another 50 hours, total of 200 hours,
which even if taken on higher side of 150 litres per hour consumption, then it
will not cross more than 30,000 litres of fuel, that too on the sea, not near
to the living habitations. Which means
RO RO Ships can reduce the fuel consumption by more than 80% of the fuel
consumed on by the trucks for that weight of carriage, since millions of trucks
are on the streets every day, (around 15 million), then by RO RO at least
certain percentage of trucks on the roads can be made less kilometres
done. This measure even though initial cost of investment is high for procuring
the RO RO Ships, but over 1000 Ships operating between 12 ports will reduce around 1 million trucks
on the road daily, as such government must take serious steps in inviting
Private investment in this regard to reduce the pollution to a substantial
extent, in addition it reduces hundreds/ thousands of accidental deaths, thus
saving millions of lives, in addition millions of working pollution man-hours
saved thus indirectly contributing the sustenance of growth..
In addition in
order to reduce the vehicular pollution due to transportation of goods in the
land locked areas (other than sea costal districts), government must identify
the areas of market yards where the
agriculture production is brought to a centralised place in the mandals,
agriculture districts, where the inter district, interstate trade occurs and
the agriculture produce need to be transported, such areas government must
construct the storage godowans and railway sidings, to connect the railway
sidings to the main railway lines to the nearest possible main line; this
measure ensures more trade of the agriculture produce, more margins for the
farmers, cheaper rates for the consumers
as easy, fast, economic transport in
large volumes from the places of abundant yield crops of various food grains
and perishable vegetables; in addition it also saves millions of kilometres of
road transport every day, thus reduction of air pollution, in addition
reduction of accidents, reduction of consumables of Transport vehicles, and
also better fall and quality rainwater.
Also government
identify the clusters of the industrial and manufacturing zones from where
maximum amount of good is transported by the road ways, to ensure building of
railway siding within the vicinity to ensure maximum finished goods are
transported through railways, this measure not only reduces the air pollution
but also ensure the finished goods are safely transported to the destinations
with minimum risk; government must focus on this measure for the FDI in
railways instead of Bullet Trains at this junction as this measure will ensure
sustained development and inclusive growth of all existing sections with
existing infrastructure, providing immediate and quick and permanent yields as
the permanent business is assured and the ROI is assured to the investor and a
WIN WIN for farmers, traders, consumers and also the investors.
All these measures
will certainly reduce the vehicular polluting, thus clear atmosphere, thus
better rains, and fresh rain water, which can be harvested in the homes, and by
the bulk consumers for use to reduce the load of other sources of water.
51)
MANDATORY TO COLLECT THE WATER DRAINED FROM THE AIR
CONDITIONERS AND USE FOR KITCHEN GARDENING, WASHING CLOTHES, CLEANING
It is a fact that
most of houses in the urban areas found the air conditioners for residential purposes,
also for commercial purposes most of the office establishments uses the air
conditioners, and the so called software companies which work in all shifts
used fully centralised air conditioner 24/7, also most of the shopping malls
uses the air conditioners throughout the working hours,; It is a fact that a
one tone Air conditioner produces about 1.4 litres of water per hour
approximately, under normal humidity, if the humidity is more the water produce
also more; which means millions of
litres of fresh water is generated, with the projections of total room air
conditioner is about 37 million units by 2020
and about 116 million 2030; which means billions of litres of water can
be conserved and best utilised by making it mandatory to recover and use waste water from the air conditioners
used by various categories;
Also government
must make it mandatory to inform the government about the procession of an Air
conditioner by all sections of people, with the details of air conditioners like
the total tonnage, (no need for information of make/brand) year of manufacture, and utilisation data, like approximate time of
use, frequency of use, use only in summers or all season (commercial buildings by and large), the
power connection etc etc so that government can exactly estimate the demand for
power during the approximate peak time each territory wise and plan the
electricity power distribution
accordingly.
Also Government must
make it mandatory that periodic maintainance of air conditioners, to ensure quality
of air, also to reduce the overall consumption of power in the process of
cooling; in addition this measure further generates million of jobs in the
country in an organised manner as all the air conditioner repair and
maintainance job should be mandatory made by the trained, register staff with
online registration for maintainance from the individual air conditioner users,
with mandatory online bank transaction payment for the service of air
conditioners will ensure the periodic maintainance is done from the authorised
people only. Also ideal that government collect the annual periodic
maintainance fee in the beginning of the
year i.e. in January month, with double the penalty for non payment within the
stipulated time, will ensure all the air condition users are under annual periodic
maintainance.
Also this measure
of data of all air conditioner users will ensure that those organisation which
need to maintain the required temperatures to store the medicine, food items
etc will install the air conditioner, also if installed will ensure they are
running/ operating 24/7 to ensure food products are not spoiled, the medicine
is not spoiled; as it is a fact most of the medicinal Drugs are required to be
stored in temperatures below 30 degrees
centigrade, some medicine below 21 degrees, and some require deep freeze, but
strangely most of the medical retail stores in India do not adhere to the
standards and hardly any botherisation
for standard temperatures, except storing some medicine in refrigerator, also
if the air conditioners are in existence they may or may not operate throughout
the year, many operate only in the summers, also some may not be in working
condition, remain as ornament, name sake, also some have less capacity so it
takes time to cool the room, which will affect the medicine; similarly some of
the food products require to be stored in temperatures below 30 degrees, so the
super markets, shops must operate the air conditioners mandatorily 24/7 at the
storage section of such products; similarly many other sector require
conditioned temperatures; so the data bank of users of the air conditioners
with the frequent, time of operation will certainly ensure that those
organisation which require to maintain the temperatures below the room temperature
will use without fail, thus saving the material from getting soiled, in
addition saving lives due to avoiding health hazards due to change in the
composition, reactions in the medicine for not storing in the required
temperature conditions.
52)
MANDATORY RECYCLING OF GREY WATER IN APARTMENTS, GATED
COMMUNITIES, RWA, HOSTELS, HOTELS
Also making it
mandatory for all the apartments, gated communities, RWA to recycle the waste
water from the bath rooms, washing machines by collecting it and store in a
separate tank underground (for not more than 24 hours of storage) and use mild bleaching
to reduce the bacteria growth; and construct a separate over head tank and pump
the recycled water to the separate overhead tank meant for use of recycled
water and discharge the same for toilet flushes, for this there should be a separate
pipelines. Since most of the houses use the flush several times and that amount
of water saved will it saves billions of litters of water every day, as it is a
fact that India being a diabetic capital of the World, more frequency of use of
toilets will occur, so more fresh water is converted to black water, so in case
the recycling of Grey water is mandatory which saves billions of litres of
fresh water every day across the country;
When using the Grey
water Recycling, all the residents, users must mandatorily flush their toilets
at least once in 24 hours to ensure no water is staled and any possibility of
bacteria growth in the flush tanks, and in case the users do not use the flush
for what so ever reason, they should close the supply pipe inlet so that no Grey
water enters/remain the flush tank. Also
ideal tat once in a week the flush tanks should be cleaned with disinfectants
(preferably organic disinfects); also it should be advised to strictly followed
by the Grey water Recycling users to flush the toilet only when they are out of
the toilet basin, so that there will not be any chance for the flushed water
spilling on the body of the users.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the Hotels. Hostels, Coffee shops, all public
toilets (using the excess Grey water obtained from the nearby residential
habitations) must mandatory design their toilets flush systems to use the
recycled Grey water, in addition to normal fresh water supply. The flush system
should have two water connections, one is fresh water and one is Grey water,
when the Grey water is no available (which is most un likely in case once the
system starts) to use the fresh water to the flush tank, this measure will reduce
any inconvenience.
Also government
must provide incentives for recycling the Grey water; also making it mandatory
to recycle the Grey water at least 50 % of the total water used by the
independent house or apartment; Also government must provide one time
incentives for Grey water recycling storage tanks and piping’s for entire
apartments/ houses after submitting the design to the government, along with
housing plan approvals and also after approval by the authorities after
physical inspection.
53)
MANDATORY THAT ALL TOILETS FLUSH SYSTEM IN THE PUBLIC
PLACES LIKE BUS STANDS, RAILWAY STATIONS, MARKET YARDS, COMMERCIAL COMPLEXES
MUST USE THE GREY WATER ONLY
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the large foot print public places like bus
stations, rail way stations, air ports, commercial complexes, the tourist
places, the market yards, the cinema halls, the exhibition centers, the
stadiums of sports, all large office establishments, must mandatorily use the Grey
water generated from the nearby by residential habitations or hotels or the
laundry services, the government must carry the water in the tankers and supply
to these bulk generations of black water to use the Grey water for flushing the
toilets, which itself will save billions of fresh water getting flushed, as it
is fact that Railways carries over 23 million passengers daily of which 50 %
are suburban passengers, annual average of total passengers over 8. 4 billions,
annually; it is a fact that in the Indian railways for other than sub urban (considered
as daily passengers), for every train journey at least one more person on an
average to see of them in the railway stations,
considering at least bare minimum of 15% of the passengers uses the
railway public toilets, then more than 1 billion litres of fresh water being
used by the railways along to flush their toilets and the water is generated to
black, which is not recyclable; in case the railways uses the Grey water
generated, then there will be saving of more than one billion litres of fresh
water, which can used for residential or commercial uses in the respective
territories by the municipalities. Similarly there are billions of people per
annum are travelling in the intercity, interstate bus stations and by using Grey
water for flushing the toilets billions of litres of fresh water can be
conserved in the same manner billions of fresh water can be conserved by using
the Grey water in the market yards, commercial complexes, office complexes,
cinema theatres, sports stadiums, also in the large pilgrimage and tourist
places. This mandatory grey water usage will not only saves billions of litres
of fresh water, the saved water used for various other purposes provides growth
of economy, in addition for carrying the excess grey water by tankers and
monitoring of the requirement etc will further generate Lakhs of jobs to the un
employed youth.
54)
MANDATORY TO DISINFECT THE WASTE WATER GENERATED FROM
THE HOSPITALS, TO DRAIN IN SEWERS, BAN ON USE AS GREY WATER, BAN ON RECYCLE/USE
OF GREY WATER FOR TOILETS FLUSH.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the waste waster generate from the hospitals
must be stored in a separate underground storage, and should disinfect the
water before releasing the water to the sewerage lines, also ban on use of recycling
the waste water generated from the hospitals/ nursing homes any where including
in the public toilets. Also ban on use of grey water generated elsewhere to
flush the toilets of the hospitals; this measure will reduce the spread of
infected bacteria growth; Also government ban throwing any kind of waste
(including the non bio material, bio medical) generated from the hospital
premises on the open soil in the hospital permits, all the hospital waste need
to be stored in the polyethylene packs within the hospital premises only in a
separate covered location with daily disposal by the separate waste disposal
along with bio medical waste disposal for ensuring safe disposal and prevention
of contamination of soil, ground water, water bodies in the vicinity of the
hospitals during the rainy season.
Also government
must make it mandatory that the hospitals laundry should be exclusive and
should not mix with normal cloths washing by the commercial laundry, in
addition it should be mandatory that all the hospital laundry should use only
organic bio detergents, in addition must adopt sun dry in all places where ever
possible or must dry using the electric heater rooms, also it should be
mandatory all the hospitals cloths must be washed using the ground water or
municipal water or rain water harvest, and it should be criminal offence to
wash the hospitals cloths in the water bodies. These measures certainly reduce
contamination of water bodies; also reduce health risks for the inpatients in
the hospitals.
55)
MANDATORY THAT DETERGENT USED FOR WASHING SHOULD BE ECO
FRIENDLY, HUMAN FRIENDLY, GREY WATER FRIENDLY
It is really a shocking, astonishing that till
date there is no regulation regarding the use of chemicals in the so called
detergents used in washing clothes, cleaning utensils, and also the surface
cleaners (floor, glass, etc), and there is no indication of the composition of
the detergents and no indication of its safe use, and and no indication of
optimal quantities of use; no indication of frequency of use, no indication of possible side effects due to
exposure of using the detergents by the user while washing manually, after
drying cloths if not rinsed property (studies indicate that occurrence of skin
diseases, other health disorders due to fumes from the surface cleaners, so
called optical brighteners, and perfume smells embedded in the detergents); no
indication of preventive health care measures;
how come all successive Governments till date did not mandated the
detergent manufacture to indicate the above minimum requirements, which is a
big surprise to many people; it is fact most of the chemical detergents and
surface cleaners are the main reason for several health disorders in millions of people, due
to improper use, also the chemical detergents and surface cleaners are causing
severe hazardous pollutants to the water bodies and soil, also the chemical
detergents are polluting the ground water table in many habitations. And also
the chemical detergents are one of the reasons for death of three to four sewerage workers daily in INDIA
which is otherwise a NATIONAL SHAME, all
mainly due to poisonous gases in the sewerage tanks, and mostly the sewerage
tanks poisonous gases are on account of the chemical detergents
Also it is a fact that the major deterrent for Grey water recycling without treatment is
the chemicals in the detergents that are used in the washing machines, if used
without treatment could harm plants and contaminate soil as it contains
chemicals like phosphorus and sodium, and boron leading to more pH levels which
are are deterrent to plants and soil; it is a fact that phosphorus in small
quantities useful for plants, but excess phosphorous leads to excessive algal
growth, leading to toxic algal blooms, Similarly the salts affects the soil's
permeability and causes a loss of structural stability. Also boron is required
for plants in very minute quantities, excess boron leads to toxicity; Also
Laundry detergents are highly alkaline with PH more than 10, which is useful to
dissolve organic dirt, but the ideal PH for plants and other micro organisms in
the soil is 6 and 9, as such grey water with a high pH is likely to harm many
plants and soil organisms. So government must make it mandatory that all
detergents manufactured, sold and used for the residential purposes must be Grey
water friendly
56)
REGULATION OF CHEMICAL
DETERGENT MANUFACTURING/ SALE IN INDIA
GOVERNMENT MUST CLASSIFY THE CHEMICAL
DETERGENTS ACCORDING TO CHEMICAL CONTENT, HARM TO THE ENVIRONMENT AND HEALTH
DISORDERS
MANDATORY FOR MANUFACTURERS OF CHEMICAL
DETERGENT / SURFACE CLEANERS TO PROVIDE FULL DETAILS OF INGREDIENTS, THEIR
EFFECTS ON HEALTH, OPTIMAL QUANTITIES, QUANTITIES OF WATER REQUIRED TO RINSE,
HEALTH HAZARDS & PRECAUTIONS
It is in fact a grave criminal offence on the
part of the governments till date allowing the so called detergents
manufacturers to keep their so called trade secret, also not making it
mandatory to disclose on the pack itself the details of ingredients, chemicals,
also not banning the use of harmful chemicals in the detergents, also allowing
so called “optical brighteners/ whiteners”, “fragrances“etc used in the
detergents which has potential skin disease in the users.
Also government make stringent licensing system
for all detergent manufacturers, they should obtain licences, by clearly
providing the details of ingredients, quantities, the effects on environment
etc, in addition the process of manufacture should be revealed / shown in web
site video, stricter punishments for
manufacture and sale of detergents without licence from the government; also it
should be criminal office to sell in the retail shops without approvals /
registration/ manufacture licence from the government for the quantities, with
stringent quality checks.
Also all detergents for cloths, dish washers, surface
cleaners, bath soaps, shampoos, must be classified according the nature of
chemicals content, government must make it mandatory that the manufacturers
must Cleary specify the content, ingredients, quantities in that pack (100 gm,
500 gm, 1000 gm pack with details of total quantities bifurcation in that
weight of 100 gm, 500 gm etc), also the manufacturers must clearly specify the potential threats for individual users
due to improper rinsing of the cloths, after using the detergents, also the
threat to the soils, water bodies & environment by the used chemicals of the detergents,
surface cleaners manufactured by them.
Also government must make it mandatory that all
detergents, sops, powered, surface cleaning solutions must be classified for potential threat to health
and environment based on the chemical
content and effects of other ingredients,
like food grading labels green for veg, Grey for egg, red for non
vegetarian food, government must classify the detergents, to be used in soft
water (rain water), hard water (ground water), municipal water etc; and
government must recommend the use of type of soaps/ detergents based on the
water types in the territory, type of clothes etc ; government allow to sell only
such detergents which is suitable to the water types in that territory.
It is fact that till date there is no actual
measurement of weight of cloths used in the washing machines, if a washing
machine has the capacity of 5 kg load, majority of the people who use the
washing machine even if highly qualified do not put correct weight, majority of
them frequently overload, due to the fact they do not know the exact weight of
the dry dirt cloths, also the other reason
is to conserve water, due to limited water supply in their residential
area, as a result most of the detergents are not diluted properly while soaking
in the washing machine, and added to it most of the detergent chemicals are absorbed
within the cloths as there is improper rinsing due to over load, also due to
drying in the washing machine mostly due to non availability of direct sun
light in the apartment, they dry in the shade only, and as a result the
chemicals effect on the cloths is severe.
Also as far as the rural areas / BP/ LOW income
families, slums are concerned most of the people are living in water shortage
areas, and most of them do not use washing machines, and most of them wash
cloths soaking in buckets, most of them use three or four buckets of water to
wash a bucket full of cloths due to the fact they do not have continuous supply
of water, they have to store the water when the municipal water/ tanker visit
their place and they have to use that water only for washing cooking, bathing
etc; also most of them uses low cost, detergents/ detergent powders, which
contains excessive phosphates, sodium chemicals to fight clean the dirt, as
most of the cloths are more dirt than the urban middle class for the reason
they do hard labour on the ground which automatically causes more dirt, if such
high chemical content detergents are used, in limited water rinsing, and mostly
shade dry, also most of them throw/dump used rinsed detergent water on the mud
road, or in their compound, or near to their hut/ small home, Juggi, or throw
in the drainage, if one takes a slum, in the limited area the density of
population is 100 times more than the middle class colonies of such total built
up area, so in that limited area they are exposing the cloths to dry with
moisture of the chemicals will get inhaled by the infants, children, ailing
aged people, and also the young, in addition, already they are mal nourished
and the surroundings are very un hygienic, in such circumstances they are more
vulnerable to the health risk of skin diseases, the effects of chemicals on the
metabolism system leading to health disorders, in addition the soil getting
contaminated, contaminating the ground water table in that vicinity, and most
of these people drink the water directly without even using without filtering
the water, and it is a fact most of them use the ground water bore well for
cooking purposes, also most of the green leafy vegetables are grown in the
outskirts of the slums where the entire drainage water from the open drainages
are accumulated due to the fact even till date the outskirts of most of the
cities in India do not have proper drainage system, and still open drainage is
clearly visible. So the persons who are most affected by the chemical
detergents are the BPL and Low income group people, which means majority of the
population in India is at serious health risk in India as the BPL and Low
income group account for over 50 % population of the country, also the entire
economy of the country at risk due to large population of downtrodden section
are having one or other health disorder and the shop floor work or any other
production related labour jobs are doe the downtrodden BPL/ LOW income group
people only. Also the most effected people due the chemical detergents are
Dalits and Adivasis as most of them are BPL and Low income group
Also more effected due to chemical detergents
are children of downtrodden sections, especially belonging to dalits, adivasis
and other back ward class, who are
studying in the government welfare hostels, and government supply the detergent
which are low cost and which contains high amount of chemicals which are
otherwise sourced from the local manufactures, and the water supply in the
welfare hostels is very meagre and many children are living with no bathing and
even for cooking the water is limited, in such circumstances the young children
washing the clothes themselves using these these high chemical content
detergents in the limited water, with limited rinsing, which is causing health
risks for the children while using the chemical detergents with their tiny
tender hands and standing on the soap/ detergent water bare foot, also spilling
on the cloths while washing, in addition the improper rinsed cloths due to
limited water, not aware to rinse till the foam is nullified, using these limited rinsed dried cloths are
causing the skin diseases as the chemicals that stick in the cloths are in
direct contact with the skin entering the body through the skin pores, as due
to getting the pores open and the wetness makes the dried chemicals wet and
stick to the body, and other health
disorders, as a result most of the
children in the welfare hostels are suffer with some other health disorder and
most common s skin diseases.
In addition most of the BP/ LOW income people in
cities and rural areas and the
downtrodden children in the welfare hostels are directly consuming the chemical
detergents along with cooked food,
eating vessels, due the fact that
the utensils used for cooking, eating plates are cleaned using the chemical
detergents in limited water which will not get rid of all the chemicals, as
most of the utensils are made of aluminium, or even made of steel, and
prolonged use of chemical detergents for
cleaning leads to pores, micro cavities in the utensils and unless they are
rinsed properly thoroughly the chemicals from the detergents entered/ fixed in
the pours /cavities will not go away / wash away with limited water, which
require large amounts of water to fully rinse the utensils. (chemical
detergents require large quantities of fresh water to rinse and wash the
utensils), so due to limited water rinsing and using the low cost detergents
which are high in chemical content are directly getting consumed through food
causing severe health risks in the long run, effecting health of majority of
people belonging to BP/ LOW income group, of course some percentage of middle
and even upper class people. As such government to start with must ban use of
chemical detergents in the welfare hostels, also government mandatorily supply
only bio organic detergents in the welfare hostels to save children and future
generations from the potential health risks.
It is criminal on the part of the governments
to allow this chemical detergents to flourish for the profits of the
manufactures millions of downtrodden section people's health’s are getting
spoiled and they are also becoming financially weak due to spending heavy
amounts on health care from pockets and also many times living in hunger due to
un able to attend the daily wage work due to sickness. AS it is a fact that the turnovers of the
detergent market itself is over 12,000 Cores in India at present from the
organised market, which means that only from the organised, accounted sales
till date millions of tonnes of chemicals are getting discharged into the soil,
water in India for decades, which is one of the primary reason for health
disorders in India otherwise.
So government must on war footing bases
regulate the use of chemicals in the detergents, also government must educate
widely about the harmful effects of chemicals used in non bio detergents,
soaps, liquids via radio, television, also in all gram sabhas and also through
in the RWA, apartment associations, Gated community associations must mandatory
educate their residents about this; Also government must educate the people
regarding the use of type/quantities of detergent powder, detergent for the
cloths, also government slowly with draw the chemical detergents over a period
of time.
Also government must make sure every year 10 to
20 % reduction in the production of the non bio manufacturing and covert them
into eco friendly bio degradable organic material for the manufacture of bio
detergents, spas, shampoos etc so that with a span of 5 to 7 years majority of
the manufacturing of chemical based detergents Limit reduced their OVER ALL production
to 20 to 30% of the present level, so that in limited quantities under high
cost can be sold, those who wish to utilise can purchase especially the bulk
purchases for yarn/cloths/ dying industry to wash/ bleach the yarns/ cloths,
for industrial use; so that the impact of chemicals in daily life can be
reduced, more quality water, safe soils, and healthy hands, safe cloths
available to the people.
Also government
must make it mandatory that country turn into organic detergents, personal care
by providing incentives for manufacturing, also government provide tax
concessions for organic products to be purchased by the individual users in the
local territory only so that both manufacturing and use will occur in local
territory of each Mandal/ district/ block/ ward so that local entrepreneurship
can be developed in addition reduced transportation and distribution margins as
within the local territory of a local the manufacturer can supply the same
directly from the manufacturing point to the retail sale point. This measure will yield the desired results
of employment, warning, eco friendliness.
Also government must ban the manufacturing
of Phenol so called surface cleaners which uses the chemicals, especially the
benzene, it is a fact that excess inhaling benzene for over 15 minutes is
dangerous to health as per international standards The short term exposure limit for airborne benzene
is 5 ppm for 15 minutes. And exposure limit of 0.5 part of benzene per million
parts of air (.5 ppm) in the home/workplace during an 8-hour, Benzene exposure
leads to serious health hazards. The short term breathing of high levels of
benzene may result in death, while low levels may cause drowsiness, dizziness,
rapid heart rate, headaches, tremors, confusion, and unconsciousness. Eating or
drinking foods containing high levels of benzene may cause vomiting, irritation
of the stomach, dizziness, sleepiness, convulsions, and death. also in the
hospitals, bath rooms, toilets, are cleaned with phenol which ahs affect not
only on the sick patents but also on the healthy people who are working in the
hospitals or who are visiting the hospitals due to excess of chemicals
releasing toxic fumes into the air.
It is a fact that due
to excessive advertisements, many people especially people living in
apartments, individual houses uses these chemical surface cleaners to wipe
their floors of the houses every day, mostly daily, indiscriminately, risking
their health every time, and every day millions of people might be getting
disorders due to it, as it is a fact
that most of the houses the indoor air quality is poor, in addition exposure of
benzene released from these surface cleaners will severely affect the health of
the people who inhales, also who come in contact with it, as it is a fact most
of the people who get their homes wiping with surface cleaners are made with
servant maids, and almost all the servant maids do the work with bare palm and
bare foot, so they them self’s are exposed to contact with the harmful
chemicals (one standard room to wipe takes at least 5 to 10 minutes, then for a
3 bed room house the servant maid/ persons who are cleaning the rooms are
exposed these harmful surface cleaners directly for more than 30 minutes daily)
, in addition in most house hold in INDIA people do not use home slippers and
walk bare foot in their home, for them the surface cleaner chemicals are
directly entering into their body, and most of the infants, children play on
the bare floor which will severely affect their health, over long term exposure
, also all pet animals raised at home will walk, bare foot naturally, also
almost all the pet animals (dogs, cats) sleep on the floor and which will get
effected, and not only that people who arise the pet animals, especially the
children in their home nurse their pet the animal every now and then, then they
too get affected.
Also it is fact
that most of the chemical based surface cleaners, bath room cleaners on using
regularly causes damage to the flooring/ surface where cleaning happing,
causing roughing up the floor, cavities in the floor, leading to accumulation
of dust and bacteria on regular bases, also loss to colour, texture, fading of
the flooring, it costs heavy to polish the marble flooring/ replace the tiles
in the bath rooms, as more dirt, wetness due to losing/ decay of the joining
cement/ adhesives between tiles, also between tiles & grounds /slab. More
surprisingly there is no mention of harmful effects of these chemical based
surface cleaners.
As such in order to
avoid such loses for health and property and environment, government must make
it mandatory that the surface cleaners must clearly special their ingredients,
composition, quantity and also harmful effects on the people, also environment,
directions of use, safety measures, frequency of use, Also government classify
the chemical surface cleaners according to chemical content, effects on human
beings; Also people should be educated about judicious use of these chemical surface
cleaning agents, also government must encourage organic bio detergents which
are less harmful/no harmful, also phase out the manufacturing of the chemical
based cleaning agents in less than a decade.
Government must create awareness to people about the harmful effects of the
chemical detergents, the optimal quantities of use, the best way of use to
reduce the harmful effects, the ways to reduce the effects of chemicals in the
detergents; government must encourage people to use the harvested rain water
for washing clothes, which is very soft in nature and it takes much less
quantities of detergents, also use natural stain removing methods of using
citrus juices, drying in the sun to fade the stains slowly, also by drying in
the sun not only the energy required for drying in the washing machine get
reduced, but the UV rays in the sun kills bacteria in the washed cloths.
Also government must educate people to switch
/adopt natural organic bio detergents for washing the daily wearing cloths,
night weaning cloths, inner garments, etc which do not have much dirt, to use
the bio detergents, which will take less rinse time, which means less water,
also less power in washing machines, also since free from chemicals, they are
very skin friendly, especially for infants, children and elderly aged.
Government provide incentives/ tax concessions
for organic detergents, organic dish washer manufacturing, and end products,
also government provide incentives for the bulk users for using the bio
detergents which are environment friendly, will be good to use as Grey water;
Also government provide incentives for un
employed youth, farmers for raising the soap nuts cultivation, also neem, lemon
grass etc which can be used in the manufacture of the bio detergents; also
government must provide interest free loans, and subsidies for un employed
youth for establishing, marketing of the bio detergents in the country. This
measure reduces harmful chemicals in the washing machine waste water for better
Grey water; also it reduces chemicals in dark water.
Without which it is
nothing but indirect state sponsored health hazards to the people of India for
the few cores of rupees of money i.e. through taxes from these manufacturers of
the detergents, but the amount of effect on health of the individuals,
environment is un imaginable, billions of rupees are getting lost on account of
these non bio detergents and surface cleaners.
57)
MANDATORY BULK USERS OF
DETERGENTS MUST USE ONLY ORGANIC BIO DETERGENTS WITH COMPLETE BAN ON USE OF
CHEMICAL DETERGENTS
Also government must make it mandatory that all
bulk users of washing detergents for washing clothes, dish washers must
mandatory use only organic cloth washing detergents, and also organic dish
washer (bio detergents), like extracts from the soap nuts, need for he cloths,
also soap nuts, neem, lemon grass, citrus juices etc for dish washers, in all
laundries, all hotels, all restaurants, all canteens, all commercial eateries,
all educational institutions serving mid day meals, all hostels must use only
organic bio detergents and cleaning agents, Also the organic surface cleaners
like vinegar etc to reduce the affects of chemicals on large section of people.
58)
MANDATORY
THAT ALL THE LAUNDRY SERVICE PROVIDERS /CLOTHS WASHING INDIVIDUALS AND
ENTERPRISES REGISTER WITH GOVERNMENT
Also government must make it mandatory that all the
laundry service enterprises or individuals must register with government
and must provide daily the quantities of
cloths washed, the method of washing (dry wash/ wet wash), the quantities of
detergents used, the source of water, the quantities of water and quantities of
water used to rinse each cloths, and provide certification each time after the
wash that they used harvested rain water or municipal water and only using fresh water not washed cloths in
in the water bodies and also they are sure there is no amounts of traces of
detergents as they fully raised it (government must fix limit of traces of
detergent in the laundry dried cloths, to ensure that the traces of such
quantities of detergents do not harm the human being who wear it, and either
sun dried or electric heater dried.
This measure is necessary as it is a fact that most of
the laundry services uses the hard detergents and uses the water bodies water
or wash and rinse in the water bodies, thus polluting the fresh water bodies,
and most of them in the cities washes the cloths in the accumulated water
bodies of Grey water/ effluents discharged watered bodies, which is otherwise
very un hygienic, and un healthy, with severe risk of health hazards for both
the washer men/women (they stand long hours need deep waters concentrated with
chemical detergents) as well the persons
who wear the cloths after washing in such waters due to large amounts of
chemical particles in the cloths, (but the effect of bacteria is getting
reduced even after washing in such stale water is due to the use of hard
chemical detergents by the laundry service), and most of the laundry services
do the same even washing the cloths from the hospitals in these dirty water,
causing a serious health disorders for already sick people.
Also government supply the harvested rain water if
required for the laundry service providers at nominal cost of the
transportation cost from the government rain water hasted storage tanks, earth
dams, and also government must provide
incentives for the laundry service providers to create bulk earth dams/ rain
water storage in the cities; also government provide space for laundry services
near the government rain water harvesting places or near to earth dams to
source the natural rain water for washing.
Also government must
train all the individual laundry services personal for safe washing,
government making it mandatory that all
bulk users and laundry services use the organic bio detergents by and large (at
least 80 % of the total detergent consumption), and remaining low percentage of
chemical detergents only to get faster removal of heavy dirty clothes or stains
(which should cost more, as government impose cess double the cost of the
normal chemical detergent for use in the laundries); also ensuring all laundry
services mandatorily use only natural rain water or fresh water and do not
contaminate the water bodies, and also the laundry services do not discharge
the water indiscriminately into the fresh water bodies, and the laundry Grey
water can be further collected and used by the government for bulk water users
like bus stands, railway stations, commercial complexes toilets flushing, as
dally thousand and lacks of foot prints in these public toilets occur, all
measures saves billions of litres of fresh water getting
contaminated, also it saves the sewers water getting poisoned due to discharge
of chemical based detergent grey water after washing the cloths in bulk, are
from health care of the washers as well as people who are wearing the laundry
services.
59)
BAN ON SALE & USE OF ACIDS FOR DOMESTIC CLEANING
PURPOSES TO ENSURE BETTER GREY WATER RECYCLING; ACCOUNTABILITY OF USE OF ACIDS
FOR INDUSTRIAL PURPOSES AND SAFE DISPOSAL OF USED ACID CONTAINERS TO PREVENT CONTAMINATION
OF WATER BODIES AND SOIL
Also it is fact
that that indiscriminate use of acids for cleaning the toilets and other places
in the residential and commercial establishments is becoming a great threat to
the water contamination, in addition to potential threat the users of the acid,
the acids are used to clean the bath rooms, kitchen sinks are turning the Grey
water into black water, which is not suitable for recycle, as the acids are
cheaply available and no one really knows the amount of damage that the acids
are causing to individual, to the property, to the environment, all are simply using in the name of fast cleaning,
it is a fact that when cleaned with acid the bath room tiles, the toilets
appear to be shiny, but the tiles surface and toilets surface is getting eroded
and gradual rise in the cavities and pores on the surface, over a period of
time with regular use of acids lead to total damage of the surface of the tiles
and toilets, which will quickly catch the dirt & sediments in the water.
Also as proposed to
recycle the used water from bath rooms which is otherwise considered as
recyclable water, ready to use without any
treatment to flush the toilets and also to use in the gardens, but if acids are
used, the bathroom used water (grey water) not only unusable for garden plants
due to high acidic contents/PH, but also regular use of such acid content Grey
water in the flush tanks will damage the flush tanks and the piping system of Grey
water circulation, also the ceramic toilet basins, ; as such government must
ban the use of acids in the residential and commercial purposes, for this
government must regulate manufacture and sale of acids in the retail shops.
Government must make
it mandatory that all Acid manufactures must get register with government and
all acid bottles/containers must be bar coded, every acid sale should be recorded,
all the end users/ buyers of acid must register with government and acid sale
only to the registered users.
These measures are
necessary as there is no clear accountability of use of ACIDS in the
residential and commercial purposes and industrial purposes, as such government
must ensure accountability of acids sale, with ban on sale of acids by the
retailers, for any residential and commercial purposes, acids can use used only
in the industrial and manufacturing units if the process of manufacturing
demands and certainly not for cleaning, also government must make it mandatory
that acids should be sold to the factories and industries with online
requisition for quantities of acids and all acids sale only for the government
registered and approved factories and industries, all those factories and
industries that require acids must apply
for the government with the need for acid and where they use the acids and what
are measures in place to treat the used acids and safe disposal of the acids,
without the government registration approval number for acid use, sale of acid
and use of acid should be a non bail able criminal offence. This measure saves
lot of water from getting contaminated, lot of soils from getting contaminated,
and every possibility of recovery of best Grey water for direct recycle of grey
water. Also it saves health of people who otherwise using acids and risking
their life’s with possible severe health disorders due to exposure/ inhaling
the acid fumes.
60)
MANDATORY REGULATION OF SALE AND USE OF DISTILLED WATER
USED IN THE BATTERIES FOR RESIDENTIAL INVERTER BATTERIES & IN VEHICLES
Also government
must regulate the sale and use of distilled water used in the batteries in the
home & office inverters and also in the batteries of all vehicles; it s a
fact there is no system in place for monitoring the sale and use of the so
called DISTILLED water, which is otherwise also a potential hazardous if come
in contact with human body, animals or even for plants and also there is no mechanism
to ensure safe disposal of used distilled water /bottles as of now, otherwise
which can cause serious health hazards, contamination of soil, water bodies. It
is fact that many of the individual users are unaware of the health hazards of
non safe disposal of distilled water containers.
As it is a fact due
to rapid urbanisation, due to power cuts not only in the rural areas but in
urban areas most of the office establishments, especially the software
companies, also most of the commercial establishments uses the inverters to
ensure no darkness in the commercial premises during the business hours when
people are inside the store, to have un interrupted power supply; most of the urban upper echelons and upper middle class are
using the power inverters to store the power in the large batteries and use the
power during the power cut / failure to ensure uninterrupted power supply, and
it is a fact that there is a hug requirement of distilled water , as periodic
change/ addition of so called DISTILLED water is required and for a 1.5 kva
battery the required distilled water is about 15 litres, and the requirement of
periodic change/ addition of distilled water depends up on the frequency of use
of battery power, which depends up on the frequency of power cuts, there are
millions of home inverters are in existence and the market is growing year
after year; Also every vehicle requires
the battery for ignition and lighting as minimum requirement and almost 12 core
vehicle population in India requires millions of litres of so called distilled
water. It is necessary to use the
distilled water periodically to ensure the battery functions effectively and
the quality power delivered with long life of battery, but the issue is there
is lack of periodic maintainance/ replacement of distilled water in the
batteries and there is no safe disposal of used distilled water/ bottles.
As such government
must ban the sale of the distilled water to individuals, government must make
it mandatory that distilled water is sold only to the service providers which
provide inverter battery/ distilled water service; it should be mandatory that
all service provides must get registered with government, all the end users of
the inverters must get registered with the government with details of the
capacity of the inverter, the batteries etc and only registered users can apply
online for service/ periodic maintainance from the registered service
providers; the service providers must be accountable for safe disposal of
distilled water.
To ensure this works effectively, government must make
it mandatory that the data of users of
the UPS whether residential or commercial users with installed capacity must be
recorded village wise, ward wise by obtaining the data from the UPS retailers
and the battery retailers data, those who are not registered with the
government must be sent communication to get register, or pay fine in case of
non register; government must make it mandatory that all the users must get
periodic maintainance of battery through trained authorised battery service
stations; so that the government registered\battery service stations (whether OEM
or authorised local agencies by the OEM)
should replace/ fill the distilled water and update the government online real
time, with next approximate date of inspection; also people who uses the UPS
must be educated to identify the requirement for change/ fill of the distilled
water by gauging the quality of power the UPS delivering over a period of time
after periodic maintainance, if the distilled water is low in the battery, the
lights may emit low LUX levels, the fans may move slowly than the normal speed,
in such cases the users may safely switch off the inverter main power
connection, and then may remove safely one of the lid of the battery and check
for the quantity of the distilled water with naked eye, or simply inform the
UPS service provider, for further servicing.
It is a fact that
if the bottles are not crushed and ensure safe disposal, they may be used for
filing water and consuming as the bottles appear clean, which will severely
affect the health of people who consumed water in the distilled water bottles;
there is every danger that children may do this without any knowledge, even
they may consume it presuming it a filled fresh water. As such government must
ensure every bottle of distilled water is safely disposed by making it
mandatory to return to the retailer/ distributor after use, to make this
happen, government must ensure every bottle distilled water sale by returnable
depositing 5 times the value of the bottled quantity of distilled water for the
service providers, and return the deposits after returning the empty distilled
bottle. Also the service provides who purchase the distilled water from the
retailers should provide the accountability to the government the purchase
quantities details, the end user details, if at all the batteries need to drain
the used distilled water the quantities drained and stored, they should drained
used distilled water under CC camera and quantify it, store it and return it to
the retailer or government authorised safe disposal collection centers for safe
disposal. These measure not only saves water, soil from getting contaminated
due to un safe disposal as millions of containers of the distilled water are
disposed of just like that, it also contains the health hazards for individuals.
61)
GOVERNMENT BAN THE DISPOSAL OF PAINTS, WALL COATING MATERIAL
USED TO WHITEWASH, PAINT COATING BUILDINGS
Also it is fact
that the paints and other wall coating material used for white wash the
buildings and fixtures and also for the vehicles are causing environmental
pollution especially to water bodies, soils, as there is no systems in place to
regulate the disposal of the used paints ad used wall coating material, and the
used paint containers, which require safe disposal.
In order to ensure
the buildings and paints are used judiciously and dispose of the waste
material/ empty containers safely, government must make it mandatory that all
the sale of paints and white wash material should be made through pre
registration with government, the purpose of use, also government must ban sale
of paints above 200 ml to any individual, also the organisations and
individuals who use the paints must be trained to safe disposal, and the paint
waste/ used containers must be returned to the retailer for safe disposal, else
government must make it mandatory that hence forth painting/wall coating should
be done with agencies only, which should be registered with government and all
the workers must be trained, the institutions must obtain the permission in
automatic mode by informing the quantities required after inspecting the area
to be painted/ wall coating and government approve the same, after work they
should return the empty used containers to retailer, they will ensure no amount
of paint mixes with Grey water in the bathroom sinks, bathrooms or kitchen
sinks or wash basins, and they are trained for dry washing with all equipment,
safety to use the paint without getting touching to their hand or spilling on
the floors, or contaminate the Grey water. Also the dust collected from the
scrubbing the old paint coat should be collected and disposed safely.
This measure of
institutional use of painting the buildings will not only reduce the water
contamination, but also generates lot of employment, in addition reduces the
cost of painting the homes, as the painters cannot over charge, over use the
paint, as the government fixes the standard quantities for the standard areas
in general, and mandatory periodic paintings of the buildings by and large
ensure the standard quantities are sufficient and also this ensures quality of
work delivered in less time as all the institutional workers are trained to use
optimal quantities and using the machines to quickly depaint/remove old/existing
paint and repaint in quick time, and there will not be any inconvenience to the
residents. Also it should be mandatory that all the apartments, gated
communities, all the RWA, all the commercial buildings must get painting done
once in three to four years depending up
on the local wreathing, and use, all independent houses also must do paining at
least once in three to five years.

GOVERNMENT
MUST MANDATORY THAT VEHICLE LUBRICANTS, SALE AND SERVICE SHOULD BE IN VEHICLE
SERVICE STATIONS ONLY, AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND SAFE DISPOSAL OF USED LUBRICANTS
FROM VEHICLES TO PREVENT WATER & SOIL CONTAMINATION
It is a fact that there is no system in place to
regulate the used lubricants in the vehicles, which is one of the biggest
contaminants of water bodies and soil, in addition one of the hazards that are
taking life’s of sewerage workers working in the sewerages; as it is a fact
that almost all the vehicle service stations, and almost all people (more than
120 million vehicles in INDIA) are discharging every year billions of litres of
used lubricant, and the lubricates are just discarded/ thrown in the drainages
or in the soil by and large, when the rain comes the lubricates are mixing with
the rain water and flowing along with the rain water and reaching the water
bodies, in addition some amount of the hazardous used lubricants are entering
the ground water table over a period time.
The best way to contain this contamination is to ban
the sale of lubricants to the individual users, all lubricants must be sold
only to service stations, and also making mandatory that all vehicles must
undergo periodic service in the vehicle service stations only, all service
stations must get registered with government, all service stations must account
the collection of used lubricants from the vehicle while performing the
service and inform the government online
real-time of each vehicle and like bio medical waste collection, there should
be daily collection vehicle to collect the used lubricants by the government
agency and government ensure treatment and safe disposal of the used lubricants
Without this regulation even when earth dams are
created to harvest the rain, majority of them get contaminated with used
lubricants turning the rain water which is otherwise considered as pure water /
soft water to Dark water, and it is not usable for even vehicle washing without
treatment, which is otherwise again a costly affair.
Also without regulation of used lubricants safe
disposal, the health of the people who consume the ground water is going to
effect, and there is every possibility of rise of cancers and many other
disorders due to hazardous substances in the used lubricants, as such
government on war footing bases must regulated the sale, use of vehicle
lubricants and safe disposal.

MANDATORY
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE OF TRANSFORMERS TO CONTAIN LEAKS OF TRANSFORMER OILS, ENSURE
SAFE DISPOSAL
Also government must ensure
accountability of all the DISCOMS and TRANSCO’S that transmit and distribute
the electric power, which uses the transformers to step up and step down the
power supply to prevent the leakages of transformer oil from the Transformers,
as it is a fact that the failure rate of transformers in India are high at 10
to 15 % of the total installed transformers across the country; it is a fact
that majority of the failures are due to leakages of transformer oil, or lack
of transformer oil; and majority of the failures are in the rural areas where
the cultivation is more; and there are millions of transformers across the
country using billions of litres of Transformer oil, and the performance of the
transformer depends up on the transformer oil which otherwise acts as coolant
to regulate the heat generated in the transformer, transformer oil health
determines the health of the transformer, which determines the performance /
quality of current supply; Also it is a fact that there is no accountability of
the quality of the transformer oils, also no accountability of used transformer
oils and the safe disposal of the used transformer oils; as such government
must make it mandatory that all the discoms must mandatorily make public the
details of periodic maintainance of transformer, change date of transformer oil
and the quantities of used transformer oil collected/ recovered from each
transformer and cumulative collection of used transformer oil every day in
their respective territory, and it should be mandatory that the used
transformer oils must be collected/ recovered/ drained in CC Camera / video
recording monitoring.
Also government must make it
mandatory that used transformer oil collected from every single transformer
must go to the laboratory for testing the properties of the used transformer
oil for ascertaining the life of the transformer by analysing various
parameters, including the dissolved metal content in the used transformer. This
measure improves the health of transformers thus quality current, especially in
the rural areas, where the transformers periodic maintained is hardly done as a
result the failure of transformers in rural areas is more with failure
rate of 10 to 15%, then one can imagine
the economic loss occurring on account of failure of the transformers is not
only for the DISCOMS and But several folds to the GDP as farmers, MSME get
affects, if one MSME effected the large industries who entrust job works of
components in the continuous process industries get effected due to non supply
of components from the MSME and the loss are cascade effect just for a failure
of small percentage of transformers; Government must make it mandatory that all
the transformers health is maintained throughout in the larger interest,
especially in the rural areas as most of the cultivation that is dependent on
the ground water uses motors to lift the water, in case the current is not
quality, it effects the motor and flow of water, also in case failure of the
transformer and not replaced for 10 days then the precious time of requirement
of water during the cultivation will lead to great loss to the farmers in the
territory. To avoid all such situations, the periodic maintained data and
analysis of the used transformer oil will help, also use of remote “thermal
imagining” of the transformers as far as more than one kilometre distance using
infrared rays to capture the the heat generation images of the transformer and
analysis of the data for determining the health of the transformer and also
determining the approximate period of change of transformer oil otherwise
approximate date of failure can be ascertained. This measure will certainly
further reduce the contamination of water bodies, soil and also rain water
harvesting earth dams from the used lube oil saves water from not tuning into
Dark water, in addition to help in improving the economy.
64)
MEASURES FOR SAFE DISPOSAL OF USED SANITARY NAPKINS/
PERIOD CLOTHS; CREATION OF EXCLUSIVE SANITARY NAPKIN WASTE BOXES IN ALL
APARTMENT COMPLEXES, OFFICE ESTABLISHMENTS AND COMMERCIAL COMPLEXES, ALL
RAILWAY STATIONS, ALL BUS STATIONS TO BE USED BY WOMEN TO DISCARD USED SANITARY
NAPKINS FOR SAFE DISPOSAL; CREATION OF COLLECTION OF USED SANITARY NAPKIN PADS
BY WOMEN WORKS FROM DOOR TO DOOR IN CITIES, VILLAGES.
Also it is a fact
that the indiscriminate disposal of the used sanitary napkins are becoming a
great health hazard, and one of the major cause of contamination of soil, water bodies especially in the rainy
season where the discarded used sanitary napkins get wetted from the soils,
public dust bins; even though it is a NATION SHAME that over 95% of the Adult
Women in Menstrual Cycles do not use the sanitary Napkins for the reason of non
affordability, non accessibility, lack of knowledge to use the Sanitary
napkins, using unhygienic methods of used/ rough toured old cloths bundled,
which is the major cause of health disorders in the women due to long wetness
in that private area; this is leading to infections, and several other health disorders,
and it is a fact that there are limited gaynic doctors in India, in addition
majority of the even most educated women has hesitation even to revel to their
own husbands about the infections in that Private parts, forget about going to
the doctor, so most of the reason for several health disorders in the women is
due to lack of the access/ use of sanitary napkins, and most of the women
indiscriminately dispose the clothes used as a sanitary napkin in the open
soils, garbage, causing health hazards for millions of people indirectly. Also
it is a fact that the sanitary napkins which are mostly made up of low density
polyethylene and wood pulp are if not disposed safely it takes over 800 years
to natural bio degradation.
As it is a fact
that at present of the total population in India near about 50% of the population
is women around 65 crores, of which around 60 % women in menstrual cycle
(remaining 40% children & older women who are out of menstrual cycle),
which means around 36 cores women in India are in monthly menstrual cycle,
which means 36 core women are discarding their used Periods cloths/ Napkins; of
which since as per estimates that over 95% of women in India do not have access
/ affordability of Sanitary napkins, which means near about 34 core women use
unhygienic, health risk practice of using the tore unused cloths, and 2 core
women use the Sanitary Napkins, even for the 2 core women the Sanitary Napkins
suffering due to the fact of lack of change rooms /separate women friendly bath
rooms in office establishments and public places, leaving along the sufferings
of the women who uses cloths to contain the period fluids, bearing all kinds of
infections, rashes, allergies due to prolonged exposure of wetness, also due to
the fact that even when, some women wash and reuse the period cloths due to
shortage of even waste old cloths, will do discretely and dry them in some shade
rather than sun dry (when sun dry can kill the bacteria due to ultraviolet rays
of sun) due to fear of exposure even within the family, how strange, pity?????
in addition most of the working women are expiring terrible psychological fear
of getting embarrassed in public due to exposed of their period blood stain on
their outer clothes in case of large quantities of leak, which itself is making
them to get into depression for many working women who are mostly the labour
and hard jobs, daily bread earners, MNREGA workers, small employees, house
maids etc???, it is ultra high time government must ensure every adult girl/
women should get the access to hygienic sanitary napkins.
Also It is a fact
that every day due to lack of safe disposal methods of the period clothes/
sanitary napkins millions of used cloths with blood stains are entering into
the soil directly, only certain percentage is going to sewerage lines; Also the
sanitary napkins/period clothes thrown usually in the garbage by the urban
women are causing severe health risks for the garbage collectors who otherwise
till date has not equipped with safety gloves, carry with bare hand, segregate
with bare hand the wastes gathered to take the waste to dumping yard for earth
filling, in this process due to unsafe disposal, the blood stains with some wet
contacting on the bare had of these garbage collectors (almost all the garbage
collectors are finally poor DALITS), are subjected to various health risks
including HIV, and other diseases that are carried through blood; also it is a
fact that most of the garbage thrown in the garbage bins in the colonies, the
sanitary napkins are toured by the stray dogs due to blood smell, further
leading to health risks.
So government must
ensure all the adult women in the Country must have access to the hygienic
sanitary napkins, by establishing low cost sanitary napkins manufacture by the
SHG in every Mandal, Block & in majority of the large populated villages
and ensure government provide subsidy for the finished product (low cost
napkins cost Rs 20 per set of 8 Napkins)
for the adult women belonging to
the BPL families irrespective of caste, religion, which will benefit more the
dalit and adivasi women; THIS IS REAL BETI BACHO??? In addition Government must
ensure safe disposal of the used sanitary napkins; but since most of the women
feel to have privacy that the outer world should not know about their PERIODS
cycle, due to the existing RELIGIOUS & SOCIETY TABOOS considering the women
in menstrual cycles as bad omen, government ensure that the safe disposal of
sanitary napkins should not affect the privacy and dignity of the adult girls,
but the used sanitary napkins must be disposed of safely
For this
government must create a collection bins
for used sanitary napkins, baby dippers adult diapers in all the places, lanes
in every street in case of independent houses, in villages/ wards, in case of
apartment at the basement of the apartment, similarly in the gated community
at particular locations, also in all the
RWA at multiple location not more than 500 meters from any residence; also in
all the office complexes, all commercial establishments, all trains, and also
all the railway stations, bus stations, air ports, all tourist places, in all
women toilets; this collection bins
should be installed with geo tagging and informing the women through mobile
alter if they click to find out the nearest sanitary napkin disposal bin; it
should be mandatory on the part of the adult women who uses the sanitary
napkin (till all women use the sanitary
napkins, all women who are using the waste clothes at present also must discard
the used waste cloths during the periods to discard in the designated bins of
sanitary napkins/ periods cloths collection bin) must mandatorily dispose the used sanitary
napkins in the bins; Also the bins should be designed in such a manner that
they are closed tightly, cannot be accessed to dogs to jump and tore the used
napkins, also do not get spilled on the floor/ ground.
Government must
create a separate department exclusively operated by women with women workers
to collect the used sanitary napkins & baby diapers adult diapers from the
bins in an semi mechanical methods by lifting the bins and pouring the
collected napkins in the main transport vehicle just like the bio medical waste
disposal and ensure all the bins are cleared every day from all locations, and
the vehicles picking up the used sanitary napkins must have GPS and tracked for
picking from every location every day, this measure ensures that by and large
the used sanitary napkins/ period cloths are safely disposed without contamination
of the water bodies, and soil, also for the better health of the females across
the country; As it is a fact that most
of the women especially the working women, women in journey are carrying the
used napkins in their hand bags till some point to dispose it safely or they
simply throw in the dust bins, also some women through on the journey on the
soils, some even try to flush them in the toilets causing the clogging of the
toilets; most of the working women throw them in the nearby sewerages while
returning from work; all these can be avoided to have hygienic water and hygienic soil.
Also all adult
women should be advised to use the toilets only and not use the bath rooms
during periods to ensure grey water not contaminated with period body discharges,
as the gray water getting recycled into the toilet flush tanks, the bacteria
may get generated due to the fluids of the period even though diluted in the
water of the gray water; this is not misogynist, but a must in the larger
interest.
65)
GOVERNMENT BAN ON RAT POISON MANUFACTURE & SALE
Also government
must ban manufacture, sale, use of so called RAT Poison, in INDIA, it is really
a big health hazard that Rats are common rodents in India, which are found
everywhere whether in villages or cities, (some time back even in airlines RATS
are found), are getting killed at residential, commercial and agriculture
fields and are disposed in the open soils r in the sewage lines, which is
causing huge health disorders due to the bacteria / pathogens developed in the
dead rats, the such dead rats are in millions and billions of numbers in India
in the residential habitations, market yards, and in the grocery shops, causing
huge foul smell that itself is causing health
hazardous in the nearby vicinity causing sever breathing and
neurological problems to healthy people leaving the infants, aged and sick
people; the dead rats are biggest cause
of water pollution, health hazards for the sewerage works.
Also it is fact
that it being poisonous, but unfortunately even though there is mention of keep
away from children, several hundreds of children are succumbed due to
consumption of so called RAT POISON (Zinc Phosphide) after consuming it by
mistake un intentionally, considering it as eatable/ chocklet, such incidences
are coming across every at some or other part of the country as the deaths will not occur suddenly, but
over a period of time of two to four weeks or even more due to slow failure of
various organs due to the effect of poison getting into metabolism of human
beings.
Also using of rat poison in the agriculture fields
extensively, tonnes of rat poison (sodium posphide) is going in to the earth
and on the same earth the cultivation is happing, as such the so called sodium
phosphie is going to the human begins indirectly through the food grown in that
rat poison contaminated soil; in addition most of the farmers, agriculture
workers consume the bore water generated in the agriculture fields which will
certainly contain the sodium phosphide as a result most of the people in the
villages are getting effected to some extent due to RAT poison; as such
government ensure that not only ban on rat poison, but also by and large are
caught and left in the forests or drove away by ultrasonic sounds so that the soils
and water are safe for cultivation and consumption.
Also this dead rats
are a serious health hazards for the sewerage workers and ; So government must
ban rat poison in India, but the rats should be prevented from being at
home/drove away from homes, commercial establishments and agriculture fields to
save the food grains, crops from damage also from many health issues like
pelage etc; as such Government must make it mandatory that every village/ ward
should be installed with alternative ultrasonic instruments to drove away the
rats; also encourage only catching rat through rat cages that only catches
rates not kill the rat, and dispose of the rat safely into the far way forests;
alternatively there is a special community called rat catchers community in
most of the villages, they should be further educated, trained in catching live
and disposing the rats, like dog catching , government must employ rat catching
employees in every village/ ward and all the rats cached through cages alive
should be collected for making them to leave then in the far way forests alive;
also in case they found dead rats, they should pick up and ensure safe
disposal. This measure reduces the contamination of soils, water bodies, and
hygienic surroundings
66)
CREATION OF FENCING OVER WATER BODIES, CANNELS, AT
HABITATIONS & IN TOURIST LOCATIONS; VISITORS RESTRICTED TO ONLY CERTAIN
SAFE WATER BODIES, CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO CROSS THE FENCING OR GOING FOR NON
DESIGNATED WATER BODIES, OR THROWING ANY SUBSTANCES INTO WATER BODIES
INSTALLATION OF CC
CAMERAS 24/7 MONITORING OF TOURIST WATER BODIES; BAN ON PEOPLE ENTERING SEA/
RIVER BANKS BEYOND THE DESIGNATED HIGH TIDE LIMIT, BREACHING BAN, ENTERING RESTRICTED
ZONE SHOULD BE CRIMINAL OFFENCE CHARGE WITH SUICIDE. LEVY OF FINE FOR OPEN DEFECATION
Also it is
necessary that government create a protective fencing/ markings along the
length of the water bodies & cannels in the tourist spots and where ever
habitations are in Existence. This measure is is necessary not only to protect
the water bodies from encroachments, but also to protect people from getting
drown into water, with risk of loss of valuable life of human beings and
animals; Also government must create a special monitoring cell of the water
bodies near habitations and also in the tourist spots, with multiple High
resolution CC cameras to ensure, no contaminates poured into the water bodies,
also to save people & animals if fall into water bodies by accident or
intentionally; also government must levy heavy fine for pouring, throwing,
discarding any material into the water bodies by any individuals on any
occasion / any day, any time, Also government must ban carrying, sale & use
of plastic wafers, carry bags, water bottles on the river banks, sea coasts
near the habitations or tourist places, ban on any food/ non-food items that
are packed in polyethylene packs near the water bodies. Also heavy fine, and repeated acts to lead to
imprisonment for OPEN DEFECATION in the water bodies, near to water bodies, all
people must defecate in the Toilets Constructed by themselves or in the Public
toilets constructed by governments, to ensure water bodies are not
contaminated.
Also
government fix the maximum limits of
high tide on the river banks and also on the sea cost banks, and these limits
are clearly marked every 10 meters along the length, and also electronic
automated warning through mobile SMS and mobile call to the people who crossed
the high tide limit during the low tide and enters the water body soils/ rocks
through GPS tracking of all mobiles that comes near the water bodies, simple
fine in case any persons crossing the
first warning limit of the full tide limit, there should be mechanism to deduct
from mobile recharge or add fine in the mobile of the people cross the limit of
the entry into water bodies, the best way to prevent youngsters from crossing
the limits and risking their precious life, to save the family from misery, to
avoid accidental deaths, to prevent suicidal deaths through early detection and
immediate rescue measures from the rescue team near the river/ sea cost banks;
it should be a criminal offence charged with attempt to suicide by the people
who crossed the limits and enter the water bodies, intentionally despite
warning; only on safe low tide time people at safe designated locations on beaches
/ banks can go into water, and all such places for every 10 meters one trained
rescue swimmer with rescue apparatus should be placed, all those safe zones
where people enter the water should be charged per person per entry per hour in
an electronic ticket manner, to ensure employment generated for swimmer paid
through the amount collected from the visitors, also this measure ensures water
bodies are not contamination due to throwing all kinds of substances, also
saves lives of many people who to end lives, also saves people who fall
accidentally into water bodies, also saves water body contamination from unknown
dead corpus of animals, humans.

SEWERAGE CLEANING; GEO MAPPING OF MANHOLES; MANDATORY
REGISTRATION OF ALL SEWERAGE WORKERS; GOVERNMENT PROVIDING SAFETY EQUIPMENT,
HEALTH INSURANCE, LIFE INSURANCE;
MANDATORY PERIODIC MAINTAINANCE
OF SEWERAGE SYSTEMS
It is really very unfortunate and inhuman for allowing the blunder
of manual cleaning the sewers that too without
any protective body cover suits and no kind of other safety gears for sewer
cleaning workers, it is a fact that till date the entire, means entire, sewerage
cleaning workers (around twelve lakh workers)
are daily sinking into sewers with their bare naked bodies without any
protection in the stinky, filth, foul smells and fluids, which are high risk of
severe life risk health discords, and clean the sewers for helping all section
of people in the country live healthy, when the more pathetic part is every day
3 to 5 persons dying inside the sewerage manholes, sewerage pipelines, and
almost all the sewerage workers are suffering with some or other severe health
disorders, and the average life of male of the sewerage workers household is 45
years, far below the national average of any country, even the primitive and
nomadic tribes living in remote parts of the world who are not having any
contact with the outer world, not having any facility of medicine are having
more life span these sewerage workers; but SHOCKINGLY none of the Governments
in the last 69 years till date bothered to ensure SAFETY SUIT, OXYGEN MASK AND PROPER HEALTH
CARE, LIFE INSURANCE for the sewerage
workers; It
is nothing short of a NATIONAL SHAME to let the sewerage workers losing life in
a very pathetic conditions, for ignore the deaths millions of sewerage workers
from the independence to till date by all Governments.
Many educated people with empathy are amused,
shocked that the sewerage workers life is cheaper than animals?? It is because
that all the Sewerage workers are DALITS??? Even NATIONAL MEDIA who promote
themselves as saviours of the NATION, promoting the SWATCH BAHRAT in their own
way inviting/involving the so called celebrities did not bothered about the
daily deaths of sewerage workers??; Also the political parties, NGO’s who sit
on the dharnas for the death of any individuals died in any unfortunate
incident demanding compensation, but Strange the plight of SEWERAGE WORKERS did
not seen the light of day, is it because all Sewerage workers are DALITS?? It
is ultra high time that government must take corrective steps to save lives of
these sewerage cleaning workers and also VALUE THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE SEWERAGE
WORKERS, AND VALUE THE DIGNITY OF LABOUR.
The first step is
to ensure government must do geo map the manholes and drainage poppies and
drainage lines, and ensure they were maintained periodically, making it
mandatory that it should be mandatory that every individual house, RWA,
Apartment and gated community must install the mesh filters of different sheave
sizes of the mesh holes in each outlet of the drainage pipe and ensure no kind
of solid waste enters the individual drainage sumps of the Apartment, gated
community/ RWA and also ensure that no solid wastes enter the main drainage
line of the community drainage line with the braches; Also government cover all
the open drainage systems with mesh guards (removable and use) to contain the
fall of solid wastes into the drainage. Also government make the GEO mapping of the Manholes on the mobiles with
automated update on the mobile of the by passers that such and such location a
Man hole is existing, drive with caution, to contain accidents occurring due to
open manholes/ uncovered/ damaged cover manholes.
Government must
ensure at any point of time the sewerages should not be clogged, also no silt/
sediments deposit more than 10% of the volume of the total length of the sewer
pipe lines in that street with every day
cleaning of the seaware lines, also no deposit of sewage /silt on the road/
pavement at any point of time, also government must ensure hence forth all
public sewage should be cleaned with machines as far as possible, government must abolish the use of
humans to drive into this filthy stinky, poisonous drainage public mane holes
un protected; government use only machines to lift the drainage fluids,
garbage, sweep the roads, drainage, certainly not by the bare Hands, using the
sewerage workers by providing training to them along with providing safety
apparatus only if the machines are not able to clear, after full attempts from
the machines.
For this government
must make it mandatory to get registered all the sewage cleaning workers,
government provide basic training in safety, also skills, also government must
provide free of cost the safety gears and completely body cover aprons of
standard international quality, also it should be mandatory to use the oxygen
mask and head light (like mining workers in underground mine) in addition nose masks, aprons, hand gloves
and a fresh water, anti septic soap, washing & bath immediately after
cleaning, and drinking water; Government must train these workers to operate
these in proto type creation of different types of hurdles practically; once
they are fully trained they should be provided with certification/ licence to
carry out the sewage treatment work; also
it should be a non bail able criminal offence to hire men for swage
cleaning without government licence.
Also government
must provide insurance cover to all the registered sewage workers for Rs 1 core
for death in case of on duty death in the sewage, all the sewage workers must
be fitted underwater camera, also all the equipment must be checked before
using under camera for any leakages/ mal functioning; also government must use
the fire stations/ police stations, water works depart offices for deposit of
the swage workers gears and apparatus and oxygen cylinders/ oxygen mask, every
day they should deposit the same after usage, also the full body cover must have
sophisticated high end GPS system in built in it to track the person who is
wearing the suit, which will be useful in identifying the location of the
person in case he washed / slipped accidentally in the long pipe in the running
water, so that immediately the people in the other location can trace and bring
him out in case of fatal accidents; also all the head masks must have equipped
with water resistant walky-talky system so that the person who is drowning can
communicate with the persons on the ground for any help if required.
Also it should be
mandatory for the RWA, gated communities, apartments must registered with the
government for sewage treatment, with the government along with their municipal
tax numbers, and also it should be mandatory that they should get their sewages
cleaned once in a month, and the details of cleaning should be video graphed
and kept as record. Also it should be
mandatory that all sewerage cleaning must be ordered through government ; There
should be fixed price for the sewage cleaning, which should not be less than
10,000 Rs for each sewage cleaning of one sewage tank, and the payment must be made to the
government through bank, in advance.
Since the machine
cleaning reduces the requirement of
number of sewerage workers, government must create a alternative jobs like mandatory
cleaning of water storage tanks, in all house hold, for removal of silt from
the water bodies using the achiness or
use them as peons in the government offices, educational institutions or provide
them self employment, being in system like SHG for men, the choice should be up
to the sewerage workers to choice; also government must make it mandatory that
for all the private organisations must employ those manhole cleaning men for
the class four in their organisations, by creating reservation for these
sections exclusively for the class four jobs in private organisations.
Also government
must reserve 100 % jobs for any employment if part of job is related to
cleaning to these sewerage workers who lost employment on account of using
MACHINERY, whether it is physical cleaning (sweepers) or using machine (all
crane operators, dredging machine operators etc). this is what the minimum we
all can do for the families of sewerage works for their sacrifice in the last 7
decades to make all of us live in hygienic surroundings.
68)
MANDATORY CENSUS OF ANIMALS NEAR THE LIVING HABITATIONS
BOTH PET ANIMALS & STRAY; BAN ON WASHING ANIMALS N THE WATER BODIES; RFID TAGGING
FOR EACH ANIMAL; MANDATORY CEMETERY FOR ANIMALS, 24/7 EXCLUSIVE TEAMS FOR
DISPOSAL OF THE DEAD ANIMALS TO REDUCE WATER CONTAMINATION AND ENSURING LAST
RESPECTS ARE PAID FOR ANIMALS ESPECIALLY HOLY COW
Also government
must make animal census every village wise, ward wise, street wise; government
must provide unique number for each animal that was raising by the individuals
or the stray animal; government create a separate cemetery for the animals, and
there should a separate animal disposal vehicles working 24/7 in every Mandal/
block, and also government create a toll free number for informing the
government, and whether the raised PET animal or stray animal died on the
village/ ward/ roads or high way, must be immediately removed safely dispose of
safely; it should be a criminal offence not to inform government by the people
who rise or in case of stray animals people who are living in that territory or
by the by passers about the death of animal.
It is a fact that
till date across the length and breadth
of INDIA, whether in villages or in the cities,
almost all those people with real humanity to remove the dead and rotten
animal remains are DALITS, by doing so not only they are paying at least some
kind of last respects to these animals, in addition also preventing the spread
of diseases, also allowing others in the nearby territory to breath fresh air;
but very shockingly and pathetic is that
they do not have any basic protection, even hand gloves or nose masks, nor any
disinfects spread on the remains or any disinfects to wash the hands after removal,
as most of them are in unorganised employees.
As such government
must make it fully organised employment with full safety and hygienic way of
removing with semi mechanical equipment and safe disposal of animal remains by
these DALIT community members with highest paid regular salary for them
compared to any other class 4 employee in the country, for the reason that even
if a RAT is dead at home, people will feel uncomfortable to touch the rat with
hand gloves or a polyethylene cover, and in case they have to pass by the road
where a dead animal lying they cover the nose, and they get vomiting sensation,
dizziness for the smell also they cannot psychologically dare to see the
shattered/ rotten remains of animals, but the DALITS bearing all these odds are
performing this act to ensure the hygienic atmosphere prevails in the nearby
territory for the health and happiness of the people living in the territory,
so government making their services utilised in an organised manner with
regular employment and highest salary is at least that we are repaying some
debt that all of us owe to these DALITS.
Also government
must ban washing of animals in the water bodies (whether fresh water bodies or
not) especially the earth dams of rainwater harvesting; government must
construct exclusive facilities for washing animals in every village/ ward based
on the animal census, (for every 500 animals one centre); it should be
mandatory that all the residents in urban areas as well as rural areas must get
register their animal through mobile App along with certification from the
local government veterinary once in a week visit to their village/ ward for
providing the RFID tagging (internal for small animals. External for large
animals); it is a fact most of the water bodies and even soils are contaminated
with the dead animals as till date there is no system in place to ensure they
get their last rights paid by the humans, especially those who raised them;
especially for HOLY COWS & DOGS which deserve respectful last rights as per
Hindu religious system being considered as GOMATA and KALABIRAVA; so that all
animal spirits get salvation. This measure will not only reduce the
contamination of water bodies, soils, (through soils the water bodies during
the rainy season/ floods), but also ensure hygienic and healthy living of
people.
Also government
must sponsor for the last rights of the stray animals, especially the HOLY COWS
and DOGS, from the tax payers money, also government must make it mandatory a
fixed amount from the animal owners who raise the animals for performing the
last rights of animals, this amount should be collected in the beginning of the
rise of the animal from the animal owners, also government must create a
separate trust for donations from people for caring the animals in the animal
care centers created by the government or private trusts for caring the stray
animals or ailing animals to ensure they get natural death, also to perform the
last rituals, also government must provide tax concessions for donating for
animal care/ last rituals, especially for the last rituals of Holy Cow, and in
case of Hindus sponsor / donate they should get 100 % tax
concession, in case of non Hindus contribute for the care/ last rituals of Holy
Cow they should get 125% tax benefit to the amount of contribution; the maximum
amount of contribution should be fixed at Rs 10000 per Annum. This measure will
represent truly secular & communal harmony in India.
69)
MANDATORY SAFE DISPOSAL OF REMAINS OF MEAT AFTER
PROCESSING/ COOKING/ CONSUMPTION
Also government
must regulate the processing units of meat, chicken etc of non vegetarian foods
by the manufacturers of readymade foods or by the retailers or the restaurants
using the non veg meat must follow the guidelines for processing, also ban on
discharging such water in the water bodies/ soil without treatment, also all
the bulk users of non vegetarian food must mandatory treat water before
discharging the processing of the raw non vegetarian food; and it should be a
criminal offence to throw it in water bodies/ open without treating with
disinfects to contain the bacteria growth/ pathogens growth from the meat
blooded water, which otherwise
contaminated the fresh waters and Grey water through bacteria generation.
70)
MANDATORY TO REGISTER WITH GOVERNMENT RETAILERS OF NON
VEGETARIAN RAW FOOD
PERMIT TO SALE
FRESH NON VEGETARIAN ONLY IN EXCLUSIVE NON VEGETARIAN MEAT SHOPS IN EXCLUSIVE
NON VEGETARIAN MARKETS IN THAT TERRITORY WITH COMPLETE BAN ON SALE OF FROZEN
NON VEGETARIAN
ALSO COMMERCIAL RESTAURANTS
MUST USE EVERY TIME ONLY FRESH NON VEGETARIAN, CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO STORE IN REFRIGERATOR,
USE FROZEN NON VEGETARIAN MEAT
BAN ON SALE OF NON
VEGETARIAN IN SUPER MARKETS
Also it should be
mandatory that for all the retailers who sell the non vegetarian Meat must get
registered with government; government make arrangements for exclusive non
vegetarian markets to sell all non vegetarian items from meat to sea foods, all
meat must be fresh, ban on sale of frozen meat/ fish in INDIA, also it should
be criminal offence to sell non vegetarian in the super markets or any other
markets other than exclusive non vegetarian market, that too only by government
registered individuals/ shops, with ethical
sourcing of the meat.
It is really
unfortunate to allow the sale of frozen non vegetarian meat in the so called
super markets. selling along with all vegetarian items, including the religious
rituals items, and the persons in billing counter touch with hand the packets
of the meat and with the same hands they touch the next customers religious
rituals items thus denigrating the HINDU religious sentiments, when it is a
fact that most of the HINDUS who are on vegetarian food consumers, also do not
consume/touch the non vegetarian meat or even egg on certain days in the name
of the god, but strangely even the priestly class who are otherwise going to
the super market to purchase the religious ritual items or for some groceries
are getting the vegetarian food packs touched by the non vegetarian food
touched hands, it is really unfortunate till date no one bothered???; if they
say there are adjustments and can sanctify, then they should adjust in all
other matters, including the priestly-ness positions in the temples. In
addition it is a fact the so called super markets who are selling the frozen
non vegetarian meat are directly / indirectly forcing their employees to touch
the non vegetarian meat to do billing, to store in the retail store from the
godown, from all employees on rotation bases, and some of the employees who
came from traditional vegetarian families are humiliated to touch this non
vegetarian every day, in order to retain their job for taking care of the
family needs in this regard the acts of the so called super markets, hyper
markets are nothing short of the erstwhile BRITISH RULERS in the 18th
century forcing the Indian Syphoy’es to use the cartridges coated with cow wax;
it is really a shameful act to allow this to
happen in this democratic country, all people who has respect for
religion must ensure government ban the sale of frozen non vegetarian in the
country, in addition non vegetarian meat sold only in the exclusive non
vegetarian market, all items that contain non vegetarian meat should be banned
from selling in the super markets or any retail stores including mom & pop
stores, and any food items that contain non vegetarian should be sold only in
exclusive non vegetarian market. Also since the mobile based home delivery is
on the raise, even when someone orders the non vegetarian, there should be
exclusive delivery persons to deliver non vegetarian based raw foods or foods
that contain non vegetarian meat.
Also it should be
mandatory for the non vegetarian purchasers to book one week in advance the
quantities of non vegetarian online, with the registered non vegetarian
suppliers, so that only limited quantities will be sold that to whatever sold
is fresh and certified by the government for not having any diseases for the
meat and safe to consume after cooking; also it should be mandatory for the
commercial users like restaurants, food courts must mandatorily register with
government and inform the government about the required quantities online request
and all commercial users must source their requirement only through certified
meat; also government must ban on use of freeze non vegetarian meat by the
restaurants in INDIA including the so called Five star restaurants; all
commercial non vegetarian restaurants must be exclusive and should serve fresh
non vegetarian every day, so they can order
the quantities if required through exclusive non vegetarian meat suppliers in
the city; also the citizens who consume non vegetarian can order the non
vegetarian food through exclusive non vegetarian APP based food suppliers to get the fresh non
vegetarian raw food from the exclusive markets. This measure ensures by and
large healthy meat consumed by the non vegetarian, in addition safe disposal of
the non vegetarian food remains at the seller’s side. Also it should be
mandatory that the non vegetarian market should be sanitised every hour to
ensure no kind of foul smell comes from the market to the nearby vicinities,
and the surroundings are very hygienic.
71)
MANDATORY FOR ALL INDIVIDUALS TO INFORM THE GOVERNMENT
TO CUT THE ANIMALS FOR MEAT OR SELLING / DISPOSING AGED ANIMALS FOR SLAUGHTER
HOUSES
GOVERNMENT CREATE
SPACE IN EVERY WARD/ VILLAGE FOR CUTTING ANIMALS FOR MEAT BY THE INDIVIDUALS,
COMMERCIAL SALE (INCLUDING PET CHICKEN/ HEN), TO ENSURE HOLY COWS ARE NOT
SLAUGHTERED, GIVEN DUE RESPECTS.
CRIMINAL OFFENCE TO
KILL/ CUT ANY ANIMAL AT HOME/ OTHER THAN DESIGNATED PLACE
GOVERNMENT AGENCY
COLLECT THE REMAINS FROM THE EXCLUSIVE PLACE OF ANIMAL SLAUGHTER LIKE BIO
HAZARDOUS WASTE COLLECTION FOR SAFE DISPOSAL TO PREVENT WATER, SOIL
CONTAMINATION
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the individuals who raise the animals or who
cut the animals for meat must inform the government before they cut the animal
for meat (Individual household or commercial registered non veg meat sellers),
in order to ensure safe disposal of the remains government create a space for
animal slaughter in every villages/ ward/ Mandal/block, adjacent to exclusive
non vegetarian market; government must have exclusive non vegetarian waste
collection vans will collect the remains of the animals and ensure safe
disposal of the remains; government must create a mobile APP or SMS facility
and all the people who raise the animals must inform the government with unique
number of the animal that they are going to cut the animal or dispose of the
animal for slaughter house; otherwise it should be a criminal offence to cut
the animal in the habitations or sell the animal to the slaughter house; also
government must make it mandatory that all the animals traded should be done
with the permission from the government for trade; all the animals used for
meat by the individuals or the commercial must get permission from government
for slaughter for meat, and only those who get the permission number from the
government to cut the animal for meat, that animal only allowed to enter the
designated area and people can cut from the designated trained persons to
ensure the animal is cut without much cruelty.
Government should
provide permission to those animals which are not less than 50 % of average
life span, those animals are not with pregnancy, those animals are having kids
less than two years, those animas do not have any disease, those animals who
crossed 75% of the average life expectancy and are at the edge of natural
death, and all the animals are cage free grown, all animals are organically
grown, and no kind of abnormal growth due to steroids. No animal is physically
handicapped due to accidents, no animal is underweight below the average weight
for that age, no animal is without periodic vaccinations, if an animal do not
fall in the above category they should be permitted to cut for meat.
This measure
ensures the meat sourced is healthy and no harm on health of the individuals,
also following the universal spirit of no harm to children, pregnant women,
nursing mothers, ailing people, applying the same to the animals, after all
they too have family, also by ensuring no diseases, non caged ensures less
antibiotics given to the animals so that no side effects on the human
consumption, and also no steroids growth ensures safe for consumption, and the
animals are grown naturally, not physically handicapped due to accidents, and the animal is given right food, finally the
animal received periodic vaccinations, and ensuring no diseases ensure that the
consumption meat not harmful.
This measure of ban
on frozen meat sale, mandatory to use non caged birds/ animals meat, also no
storage of raw meat in the restaurants; exclusive non vegetarian markets in the
village/ war at faraway place from habitations and exclusive slaughter places
with mandatory only trained people to slaughter, also all the remains to be
collected like bio medical waste will create employment opportunity for
millions of youth (especially to non Hindu Religious minority people).
This measure not
only ensures that no animal is slaughtered illegally, but also it prevents the
contamination of meat sold in the non vegetarian market, in addition most
important it contains the use of the animal remains to make cooking oils, which
is a big hazardous issue, which is fully prevalent across the length and
breadth of the country illegally, illegitimately and most of the manufacturers
are within the city limits and the oil extracted from the animal remain fats
are used by the most of the small restaurants and most of the Dhabas in the
city outskirts and on high ways as the cost of these oils are dead cheap, so
they mix this oil with normal oil and add some essence to avoid the foul smell,
which is causing severe health hazards in the people who consume such food over
a period of time, as such those people who are consuming are not able to detect
the reason why they are falling sick; so
by regulating the animal to get cut/ slaughtered in a specific area,
that too the area is fully in CC camera monitoring, that to to cut any animal
government permission will certainly ensure all the animal remains are fully
retained by the government (other than meat) only meat can be taken back by
the people whether individual or the
commercial people, but the remaining martial outer skin. Intestines, bones etc
should be mandatorily left in the place of slaughter and government account
each waste and dispose it safely. Also
this measure of animal census ensure the quantities of milk sourced &
supplied by milk dairies is must be ethical not adulterated. Also This measure
further ensure no animals are traded for raising or meat without government
permission, also no animal can be theft and raise them or theft for meat or
theft / keep it as a loan recovery to get the debts of the small farmers
cleared.
Also this FULLY
ENSURES no slaughter of HOLY COWS takes place anywhere in INDIA, and in case of
the persons who raised wish to dispose of the COW due to ageing, the COW
adoption centers adopt to ensure proper care taken with the help of volunteer
groups and pay last respects after natural death of the HOLY COW as Majority of
the HINDUS consider COW as HOLY and as MOTHER GODDESS GOMATA.
72)
RELIGION AND WATER
Also it is high
time that government must regulate/ stream line the utilisation of water
resources for the Religious purposes; It is a fact that in the name of religion
& hope, in the name & faith of special rituals millions of people
dipping in the same place and in addition dropping various kind of materials in
the name of ritual into the water bodies, as such water bodies are getting
contaminated, even fully becoming hazardous, as these bacteria grown in
billions of numbers in the first few feet of length and breadth of river GHATS,
also due to addition of disinfectants like bleaching powers mixing in water are
causing serious health hazards for a prolonged period, so instead of goodness /
blessings of almighty, people are getting sickness/ skin diseases, abdominal
disorders and various other heart & neurological disorders in future
course; here one should understand that
there is no kind of wrong in the religious rituals, in fact whatever rituals
mentioned in the religious texts are well thought and are for the benefit of the
health of the individuals as it is a fact that if health is taken care, peace
and prosperity will follow; but most of the religious rituals are valid in that
olden days, few centauries age, as the population is limited, the river water
is perennial and no encroachments, no effluents of any kind discharged into the
rivers, in addition those time people are very immune to all kinds of odds as
they use to eat natural foods, fresh from farm grown organically without any
chemicals in them, breathing fresh natural air, but the present era and the conditions
are very strange, water is fully contaminated, the perennial flow of water is
restricted due to so called developments of dams, habitations, air filly
polluted due to factories, vehicles, entire body system is fully weak, and the food eating are fully chemical
fertilisers grown with traces of pesticides, and over and above for majority of
the present generation the quantities of food is not adequate/nutritious, no
adequate physical exercises, over and
above subjected to lot of stress sue to various reasons, as such most of the
people are suffering with one or other health disorder, in such circumstances
without preventive measures and without rationing people to fit appropriately
with the quantity and quality of water, there is every danger more people are
going to die prematurely in future by performing the religious rituals, which
has adverse affect not only on the families, but entire nation, as the
productivity is going to effect.
It is fact that in
the name of the religion people who claim to be so called religious leaders
(most of them) are not subjected to these health hazards of religious rituals
of dipping in water, as they being belong to upper caste/upper echelons, so
called publicity people with political nexus perform the dipping rituals specially
meant for them in the very beginning of the rituals, along with political/
elected representatives of the ruling government of that territory, they are
the first among the Lakhs/ cores of people, so they are not subjected to any
kind of health risks, but the fact of the matter is the downtrodden people who
are already suffering financially, health wise, and lacks peace are being
wooed, brain washed directly, indirectly that by doing this rituals all your
worries are vanished over night like a magic wand are dipping with such
assumption are getting themselves troubled further with further health
deterioration due to contaminated waters as millions of people are dipping in
the short space of water.
As such government
must stream line the religious GHATS dipping, by construct long religious GHATS
all along all major pilgrim places and rivers, in general to accommodate maximum people
possible (depending up on the lengths of the river banks and the ‘respect for
religion’ by the regional government in allocating funds to build long lengths
of GHATS) also allocate the GHATS and GHATS space with numbering, and allowing
fixed number of people at each GHAT at all times so that there won’t be excess
rush, contamination at a single location, also for allowing free flow of water,
also government must make sure all long the flow of water through Ghats from the origin should be periodically
maintained, remove the silt/ sediments form it, ensure no industrial pollutant
emissions are discharged in the rivers (it should a criminal offence for
discharge of effluents in any upstream river of the RELIGIOUS GHATS from where
the water reaches the GHATS ) , especially the near to the flow of water in the
river GHATS used for religious purposes; fresh water should flow perennially.
Also
government make it mandatory that all
the pilgrims who wish to take a dip at any river GHAT at any pilgrimage should
get register with the government online, and government allocate the date,
time, GHAT number where the devotes can take a dip and perform the religious
rituals; making fixed number of people
allowed to dip during the season from among the people who applied/ registered
for dipping selected in lottery system; and no kind of privileges for any
section of people in this regard whether they are religious leaders or priests
or elite, celebrities, business persons or
political class or bureaucrats or judiciary, all have to go by lottery
system if they intend to dip in river for performing rituals following the
norms, and only in the designated GHAT numbered they should perform the rituals
if they wish to do so after waiting for their luck/ turn to come, treating it
as god’s grace, if they have true respect for religion, if they follow letter
& spirit of the religious texts which primarily expresses that “all are
equal before god”; this measure ensure even distribution of load, rush, minor
contaminants due to rituals flow in the stream, help in ensuring quality,
healthy water at the Ghats, taking care of the health of people who are dipping
in the river water with great belief on the religious rituals, making their
beliefs intact, and carry forward it for their next generations.
Also this measure
enables that priests and other small vendors that supply the material for the
rituals are also evenly distributed along the length of the river GHAT and
there is every possibility of rise of number of lively hood for these sections
of people, also it enables the priests to perform the rituals fully as per the
religious texts, rather than making it shortcut just like that for earning more
money due to rush, also many people who perform religious rituals in the rush
do not have personal satisfaction, if there is even distribution of rush, then
people will get satisfaction by and large for performing the rituals in peace.
Also government
must make it mandatory that the priests must be registered with the government
and they should be allocated equal number of devotees who seek priests help to
get the rituals performed, Also government must make sure all the payments to
the priests at the GHATS through online while booking for the ritual and it
should be a non bail able criminal offence for priests to insist on for any
other ritual or performing other than the designated rituals and take cash
payments, also it should be a crime to pay any tip to the priests at the Ghats.
This measure ensures uniform earnings by all priests; also this measure is
necessary to ensure the priests do not act as day time dacoits robbing
everything from the devotes by making them scare with their tong power that
this bad will happen that sin will occur, I performed this ritual you should
give this much money or else some bad/ sad occurs to you or someone in family
etc and psychologically making the devotes down and offer everything they
have.. Some places it is such that new first time devotes feel that if they
return with their under garments, they feel god saved them, as these corrupt
priests left them not robbing their chastity.
Also government
must educate the devotes about the do and don’ts in the river water, safety,
and precautions and ensure they do not contaminate, the river water at GHAT
with their mediocre knowledge or belief and pour every other item in the river;
Also government must levy stricter fine/ punishment for carrying/ pouring in
river the banned items. Government must ban pouring any oil items, or cooked
food, raw food items in the rivers at GHATS, also even the other items like
flowers, leafs, turmeric, vermin should be in the very nominal quantities per
person as a symbolic offering, also government make it a criminal offence to
use plastic in the river GHATS or even in the TEMPLES, Religious places; also
it should be criminal offence to defecate/ urinate in the River Ghats or adjacent
to the river Ghats openly. Government must create a protective fencing all
along the river Ghats, also the 24/7 CC camera watch all along the river Ghats.
Also government
ensure the Ghats must be under multiple CC camera monitoring, and complete ban
on any TV channels, individuals carrying mobiles, taking photos, videos of
their religious performances or the religious rituals of the devotes as many
females dip in the water and the wet cloths reveal their body structure or
their might be malfunction of their ward robs during their dip leading to
revealing of the body parts, which airing in the TV channels in the name of so
called LIVE VISUALS from this place, even in the so called devotional
television channels is heinous act, but this heinous acts are going on till date without any kind of
objection from the either the female rights groups or from the religious
leaders, religious organisations, in a country where women are treated as
goddesses the television channels are not leaving the women even at religious
rituals to attract more eye balls for
TRP rating for the personal financial benefit of the television channels, so
government must ban airing the visuals of dipping of any devotees in the
television channels or appear in print media or social media.
These measures will
not only ensure religious believes are intact, but also ensure health care of
the millions of downtrodden devotees are taken care in a natural way by the
government, ensuring the river water is not contaminated.
73)
STREAM LINING OF RELIGIOUS RITUALS, BAN ON IMMERSION/
DISCARD OF TEMPORARY IDOLS, RELIGIOUS RITUALS MATERIAL INTO WATER BODIES
Also government must
ban on pouring any religious material into the water bodies un authorisidely;
government must make it mandatory that all the private religious organisations
must registered with government for performing any religious rituals,
especially annual rituals which may last for one day to 21 days by
installing temporary idols, in pandals; Government must restrict the
installation of only one pandals/ temporary idol per village/ ward throughout
the country, with strict ban and criminal offence to install temporary ideals
unauthorised-ly; also complete ban on installation of separate/exclusive idols
by the apartment associations, gated community associations, RWA associations,
instead they should join the celebrations at their ‘ward idol’; government
provide the opportunity for managing the temporary ideal installation from
among the private associations on lottery system, also government must ban on collecting
donations from any private individuals for performing religious rituals on the
temporary idols, all private individuals who wish to sponsor/donate must donate
to the government, for this donation collection government must provide a
Religious Donation Agency, all religious donations must be 100% tax exemption. Also
irrespective of donations government must sponsor all annual religious rituals
in all villages/ wards for any religion, if the population of any religion in
that village is more than 30% of total population in that territory.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all the temporary idols must be made of MUD/ non
Chemical, organic Bio Degradable Raw Material, and also government must
restrict the height of the Idols to a maximum of 3 feet from among the pre
approved standard designs, and all the Pandals must have a standard design as
per the regions customs,; and uniformity should prevail throughout the region/
state/ country; also government must distribute the religious material to be
dumped / discharged into water bodies in a uniform manner throughout the
country after the rituals are over, by carrying the material across the length
and breadth of the country in no habitation zones or thin habitation zones by
lottery system with minimum distance from the installation, rather than
immersing them on a single location/ near to the installations in their
respective habitations , to prevent water contamination at a single location,
only where there is perennial flow of water is in existence, only such places
the idols, religious material should be immersed, discharged; mandatory
fixation of maximum weight of the idols and the religious material should not
be more than 100 Kg per each pandals; the above measures are necessary in order
to prevent water contamination in the name of religion due to vested interests,
causing irreparable damage to millions of individuals, the country and to the
religion.
As it is a fact
like mush rooms every village/ ward several hundreds of idols are getting
installed temporarily, by various registered/ majority non registered private
religious associations, in discriminately, extorting huge sums of donations,
making mockery of the religion by installing the idols with themes of the gods
idols in so called cinema/ sports/ political leaders portraits, utter
denigration of religion & purpose of the rituals, a complete
hypocrisy; also in the name of
competition they rise the height of the idols year of year, for that they are
using the plaster of Paris or other non bio degradable raw material as over a
certain height, as Idols made of mud
will not come in the required shape, height, theme. In addition using of
several non bio degradable material for performing the rituals, also completely
forgetting the essence of the installation of temporary idol for religious
sanctity, and completely indulging in so called cinema item raunchy,
voluptuous, sexual stimulus double meaning music/ songs and dances in the pandals, So in the larger interest of
Religion Sanctity, also to ensure all people are Healthy through having Healthy
water, by preventing the Water Condemnation by indiscriminate religious rituals
government must restrict only one Temporary pandals per village/ ward in the
country
As it is a fact
that even if the above suggested measure is implemented still there will be
more than 6.3 Lakhs pandals (6.3 Lakhs Villages, not including over 9 laky
Temples in India, as every temple will install the pandals inside the temple as
a custom irrespective of Main deity in the sanctum sanatorium, and over 200
million Hindu household of which at least 10% of the household install the temporary idols of various sizes which
means 200 lakh small idols and used material all together weighing at least 3
kg on an average per house hold). Temporary idols, and average of 100 Kg stuff
per Temporary pandals per a single time will lead to 0.6 million metric Tonnes
of material into the water bodies which include fresh water bodies, even though
it is high quantities but the religious sentiments cannot be cut to size than
this, as such the material should be distributed throughout the country in all
the continuous flow water bodies to get absorb the same; one should Imagine the
present condition of without any restrictions, the minimum number of Temporary
pandals are more than 50 pandals per village/ ward is getting installed, with
average weight ranging from 200 Kg to
500 Kg of used material (average of 300 kg) discharge which means at present
6.3 Lakhs villages multiplied by 50
installations per village leads to 315 lakh
pandals, and in wards 1 lakh multiplied by 50 is 50 lakh pandals, total
375 lakh pandals, with average of about
1170 million metric tonnes of religious used material is getting into
the water bodies, making the water bodies get contaminated, in addition turning
part of water into “dark water” due to getting into water bodies millions of
tonnes of oily, greasy substances in the religious used material along with all
other religious used material, also the volumes of 1170 million metric tonnes of waste is produces billions of bacteria and pathogens
which are harmful for health of humans and animals as the same contaminated
water is being consumed by the majority of the population, especially in the
rural areas and slum dwellers, majority of the downtrodden, BPL and low income
group people do not afford have a filtered water or even municipal water, in
addition all animals, especially the HOLY COWS are drinking these contaminated
waters and are getting health disorders and life span is getting declined, and
many Human beings & COWS are losing life, their Full Life Time natural
death, which is otherwise a GREAT SIN/ PAP than the amount of PUNYA/ BLESSINGS
by performing name sake religious rituals???.
Also without
rationing of temporary religious ritual pandals, and ban on private collection
of donations, it become a regular
business for anti social elements to extort in the name of religion, over 95%
of the amounts collected are un accounted,
and use only 5 to 10% for the actual religious ritual, and remaining
money distributed among themselves by many private religious association who
are doing temporary installations, and there are certain percentage of the
people in the private religious association they even consume alcohol, smoke,
even some of them indulge in prostitution on these auspicious days of temporary
religious pandals festivals using the public donations completely by ensuring
so called recoding dances on the stages till late night and then some indulging
in this kind of heinous acts completely denigrating, tarnishing the religious
values, ethics, for these section of people religious festivals are mechanical
in nature with no spirituality and a money spinning wind fall gain mechanisms..
It is a fact that
many poised religious leaders, even many real orthodox priests who follow the
religious customs cutting across religions fully following spirituality, who
are such people, who feels that ‘one who has borne in any religion must die in
the same birth religion while receiving birth religious last rituals to attain
MOKSHA/ Salvation’ every human being should endorse this thought as it is also
one way of attaining salvation, provided they discharge their duties as a truly
human working in the larger interest) are
annoyed, ashamed of this kind of corrupt behaviour, insulting the very
essence of religion, happening all in the name of religion; even though they are aware of such acts by
most of the private religious associations, they become mute spectators for not
taking about this for the reason they are scared of branded as blasphemic
people, by corrupt religious leaders/ priests/ people with political nexus
cutting across party lines; as it is an open fact that real poised religious
leaders are non corrupt, apolitical and do not seek publicity, media attention,
seek special respect, they silently contribute their best to the larger
interest of the all living beings in the universe. So in the larger interest,
it is necessary to ration the installation of Temporary idols in the country.
74)
STREAMLINING USE
OF WATER IN RELIGIOUS PLACES
Also government
must regulate and streamline the use of water by individuals in the religious
rituals in the temples. As it is a fact that daily millions of people use water
for rituals and on special occasions billions of litres of fresh water being
literally wasted all in the name of religion ritual without any
satisfaction. It is important to use the
water for religious rituals and nothing wrong in it, but in a small place, i.e.
sanctum sanctorum thousands/ Lakhs of people pouring the water just like that
or hundreds/ thousands of people pouring the oil, hundreds/ thousands of people
lighting the oil lamps and also lighting the smoke sticks, how far it is
justifiable when millions of people are dying for lack of fresh drinking water.
It is necessary
to maintain the sanctity of religion and
religious rituals, also inculcation of religious discipline among the devotes,
government must make it mandatory that daily only once the religious rituals
using the water (to perform bathing of the idols of almighty) by the authorised
qualified priests in addition making it mandatory that all the people who wish
to perform the self water pouring ritual by the individuals, to get register at
the government, government provide opportunity for select few Lucky people by
way of lottery system to participate personally.
Also it is very
strange that millions of litres of milk get poured on the idols as a part of
religious rituals with the notion that god receives the milk, but strangely
that the majority of the milk is getting into drainage, such process daily
millions and yearly billions of litres of milk is getting into drainage,
religious leaders do not have any botherisation for getting billions of litres
of milk going into drainage, strangely ignoring the fundamental principle of
religion that ‘SERVICE TO HUMANITY IS SERVICE TO GOD’, also as per many
religions consider CHILDREN AS GODS,
when it is a fact millions downtrodden of children are dying due to
malnutrition due to lack of mother’s milk for infants, and milk for the
children, and even for that matter millions of people who are begging in front
of religious places are starving, even when some destitute eating leftover food
thrown into the public dust bins; very SHAME ?? How come one justifies this
kind of acts of religious trust boards all in the name of religion?
No one should
criticize / act against religious rituals in any religion, as religious rituals are sacred, meant for
providing positive energy, as such every person who is born as human being must
be aware of religion, must practice religious rituals, as such government make it
mandatory that every child must be educated about the essence of religion i.e.
service to humanity is service to god, and follow the ethical norms to lead a
healthy and peaceful prosperous life; but in the name of religious rituals
wasting precious material is utter hypocrisy and an unpardonable heinous act in the eyes of almighty.
As such there
should be rationing of religious rituals at every religious place; there should
be fixed standard quantities of water, milk, honey etc all other material
ingredients as described in the religious texts, depending up on the size of
the idol, which should be universal applicability of all HINDU religious places
anywhere in world; as it is fact that till now in most of the religious places
for reading & performing 108 chants,
or 1008 chants hundreds of litres of water, hundreds of litres of milk and some
quantities of ghee, oil being used as hundreds of people bring with them, for a
single ABISHAKEM, and daily several such abhishakams are getting performed in
some of the religious places; there is no disciplined way of rituals, only
money is the motto for religious trusts for the ticket money for performing the
ABISEKHAM???? Shame full act, for denigrating the religious spirituality for
little self centred selfish personal benefit of few individuals?
As such there
should be daily only one time ABISHAKEM of the almighty done by the Religious
trust priests, and not by individuals, all individuals can witness the ritual
if they wish to do so, if they wish to participate in the ritual, they should
pay any amount of their choice to the religious trust, (complete ban on sale of
tickets for any ritual in any religious place, all religious rituals must run
on donations or government sponsor religious rituals from tax paid money, or by
collecting religious cess form all individuals) ; and only the religious trust
boards should provide the material, and any individual wish to sponsor for any
ingredients like milk etc the same
should be used by the religious trust to distribute the same to the needy old
aged, children in the villages/ slums/ schools. This measure is real
disciplined way of religious ritual fully sync with spirituality and dharmas of
service to humanity is service to god.
This measure not
only saves billons of litres of water getting wasted in the name of religious
rituals, also inculcated more dedicated approach towards religion to get their
turn, it provides equal opportunity for all, rather than only those who are
having money power, so called upper echelons with influential in the society
get into the sanctum sanctorum.
Also government
must ban indiscriminate lighting of lamps in religious places, only few lucky
people should be allowed to light the lamps/ sticks also pour oil, etc by way
of lottery from among the registered people. also ensure no amount of oil is
spilled on the floor, all the oils used must have double containers, as it is a
fact oils spilled in the floor from hundreds and thousands of lams when washed
going into the waste water turning to Dark water instead of Grey water, which
is non usable without treatment.
Also all the used
water that goes from the religious rituals should be used as Grey water for
recycling to the gardens in the religious places or use by the nearby
habitations for use in gardening only.
75)
ALL TEMPLES, RELIGIOUS PLACES MUST USE PRESSURISED
WATER SPAY SYSTEM FOR CLEANING THE COMMON AREAS; ALSO MANDATORY INSTALLATION OF
HATH FACETS TO THE TAPS TO WASH THE FEET BY THE DEVOTEES, ALONG WITH AUTOMATED
WATER DISPERSES TAPS IN WASH BASINS.
Also in temples
most of them get cleaned daily for the cemented common areas, with more than 10
lakh temples and other religious places billions of litres of water used
annually, if they adopt the pressurised cleaning for the common areas (which is
not any deviation of agama shastra, as the water for deities bath and cleaning of the sanctum sanctorum is as
usual as was approved by the religious tests like carrying with bronze pots etc
by the priests etc); this saved water can be used for several other
purposes.
Also
government should make it mandatory to
fix the hath facets in water pipe connections meant for washing the feet by the
individuals devotees visiting the religious place, in all religious places
whether it is temple of Masjid or Gurudwara or Church etc; as it is a fact that
most of the people use the running tap to wash their feet before entering the
prayer place in the religious institution, it is a common practice in all
religions, whether in Hindu temple or Muslims in Masjid or Sikhs in Gurudwara,
and daily millions of people wash their
feet using millions of litres of water, of which more than 70% of water is getting wasted, in case of
installation of hath facet to release the spray of water (hand fact used in the
toilets),then the optimal quantities of water is released and also it enables
entire feet is washed properly as this small pressure of the jet of water from
the hath facet is enough to clean the feet better than simply leaving in the
running tap or just pouring few jugs of water just like that; Also some
religious places leave the running water flow at the entrance to the depth of
one to two inches so for 2 to 3 feet
width so that who every coming into the religious place will get
automatically by default their feet get
wet/ sanctified; but all such religious places must mandatory use this grey
water generated for gardening instead of simply wasting the fresh water, this
measure saves lot of water and best use of every drop of water in the religious
places.
Also government
must make it mandatory that all religious places must have automated sensor
based water taps at wash basins, to save millions of litres of water; as it is
a fact most of the major temples other religious places serve the PRASAD after
the rituals, and it is a fat that most of the people wash the hands, and there
are wash basin taps, but since it is manual, the loss of water is huge; also
most of the major religious places, like temples have daily serving of free
food, which is served in the name of the god and millions of people are
consuming the food daily across the country, and every food serving place has
the wash area attached, so in case or ordinary conventional tap, lot of water
getting wasted, so the automatic sensor based water taps will certainly save
millions of litres of fresh water; so government must make it mandatory that
all religious trusts replace the conventional existing taps with sensor based
taps; government may provide tax concessions and subsidies for installation of
the replacement of sensor based taps in religious places; also government must
provide tax concessions for donations provided by the devotes for replacement
of the existing conventional taps with automated sensor based taps; all new
constructions should by default install the sensor based water taps. Also all religious
trust may appeal to the devotes to contribute for the replacing of taps other
the sensor based taps and for fixing hath facts, the donations must be routed
through government to get tax benefits.

FEDERAL IRRIGATION AUTHORITY FOR CONSTRUCTION OF DAMS
IN THE STATES
It is really
unfortunate that as far as water sharing is concerned the regional interests
are becoming paramount rather than larger interest of people of the country,
and many states political party leaders cutting across the party lines are
acting biased towards their regions interest for political compulsions/ vote
bank politics, even some regions water theft of perennial rivers is happing by
constructing the irrigation and power dams, in the river streams just before
the bordering districts of other states, makes the life’s of the people living
in the downstream miserable as the flow of water get restricted to the
downstream people as perennial water flow from upstream to downstream get
restricted, literally blocked ; due to such acts millions of farmers, people in
the downstream are striving & starving, as it is a fact that in case the
free water flow to the downstream territories get blocked, the only way the
downstream farmers/people get river water is during the excess rain, floods,
the upstream dams over flows, but if the floods are heavy, then that water is
not useful as it also effects the downstream people.
It is fact, open
secret that the upstream states built
dams indiscriminately by government
after government is certainly not in the interest of the people of the
territory/ region/ districts, but certainly for personal gain of few select
people, by giving contracts of construction to kin kith, political party
leaders (cutting across party lines) or else most of the contracts are in
connivance with the political & elected representatives and while sharing
this kind of projects all political parties both ruling and opposition get
units, as the money power makes them to get any low.
As such government
must constitute a federal irrigation authority, in case any state wish to
construct any dam/ irrigation project or do any project that uses ground water,
using water in the bordering districts of other states must get approval from
the all the states involved in this process and then only the project should go
ahead with the approval of this federal irrigation authority, this measure not
only saves millions of hectares of irrigation, also provides lively hood for
millions of people, in addition reduces corruption in irrigation projects to a
considerable extent as the irrigation projects cannot be done at the whims and
fancies of the elected government of the day in the states for their personal
windfall gains. Also government enact law making it a criminal offence on the
part of state government violating this norm, and without permission execution
of construction work wasting billions of Rupees of public money, the case
should be a non bail able offence on the hierarchy of the government from the
head of the government to the last bureaucrat in the chain, for wasting public
money, for tying to stop water for other state people.
This Federal
Irrigation Authority also must looks into assessment /estimation of excess flood water flow during floods from
one state to other, ways & means to divert excess rain water, so that
downstream states are not affected/less effected, also storage and best future
utilisation of excess water flowing to sea.
Also this Federal
irrigation authority should ensure clearing of the silt / sediments deposited in
the rivers, irrigation cannels for ensuring more water is stored/ flowing for
ensuring more water available for the downstream states. This authority should
monitor the clearing of silt/ water plants in the water bodies in all states
with are having no link to rivers, also maintainance of earth dams; Also this
federal irrigation authority will provide permissions for constriction of Earth
Dam’s across the country, and maintainance of the earth dams.
The funds for the
Federal irrigation authority should be shared by state and centre in 25:75
ratio; this measure is necessary as it is fact that it become a regular source
of income for most of the corrupt elected representatives and most of the
corrupt governments / officials/ contractors that irrigation projects, clearing
of silt in the water bodies as a easy money spinning activity, whatever investment
they made during elections (several times excess of limits prescribed by the
Election Commission) is going to get multiple times through these projects/
works related to water, water bodies, as most of the works standards/ quality
is otherwise remains in papers, and are subjected to weathering, quickly in the
event of any so called enquiry., in most of the state’s most of the irrigation
ministers are either so called powerful upper caste with full connection/
control of the major contractors, or else relatives of the head of the
government or a person belonging to backward classes who is ultra loyalist of
the head of the government who is for name sake and the actual works are
executed by proxies of the head of the government, a white paper in this regard
in the last 20 years history of all state governments will reveal that whatever
expressed by millions of common people in this regard is a fact.
Also the water
sharing among the states where river water is flowing is in according to the
population of the territory, in addition in according to the total land under
irrigation within 1 km radius of either side of cannel, and no other way. All
the dams/ irrigation projects must be guarded by the CISF and not the state
police, especially the dams on rivers which pass through more than one state,
in order to ensure no kind of bias, favouritism, towards the upstream state
police, and ensuring equality before law, justice for all in case of any
dispute, protests.
77)
GEO MAPPING OF FRESH WATER BODIES; CANNELS, SEWERAGE
LINES ; DISMANTLING OF THE ENCROACHMENTS TO ENSURE FREE FLOW OF WATER (FRESH
& SEWAGE), ENSURE NO BLOCKS, STAGNATION, FLOODING IN THE TERRITORIES OF
AGRICULTURE LANDS, RESIDENTIAL HABITATIONS, COMMERCIAL & INDUSTRIAL AREAS
Also it should be
made mandatory that government must do GEO mapping, GEO tagging of all water
bodies, cannels, their length, breadth, circumference in full days, their look
at dry days, the full tank level (FTL)
extent details, and also government must install the marks at
appropriate points both in urban areas and rural areas ward wise and village
wise, with clear marking as no to discharge of any kind of effluents; so that
public should get automated update on their mobile by default that they are
passing so and so fresh water body. This measure ensures identification of any
unauthorised discharges if any, encroachments both in cities, rural areas. These measures reduces water contamination,
ensure more water availability for the agriculture, also reduction in
discharging untreated emissions to the soils.
Also government
must enact law to dismantle any encroachments, constructions on the natural
passage of water, sewers in the rural and urban areas, the law should be in
such a manner that the dismantling can be challenged only in special court
created for this and the judgement should be time bound with Six months for all
those encroachers in that territory and the judgement can be challenged only in
the supreme court that too with paying
50% of the value of the property of encroachments; and also supreme court must
decide the judgement within six months; this measure is necessary as many f the
sewerages in the cites are encroached, also the natural passage of water is
obstructed due to encroachments and constriction of buildings commercial and
residential, as such the water is getting stand still during the rainy season
in many cities across the country, billions of rupees of property damage, in
addition lead to loss of lively hood and
misery for millions of people, in addition to leading to health hazards for
millions of people, in addition to loss of billions of turnover due to loss of millions of man-hours of production.
as such government must ensure stringent measures to dismantle the
encroachments across the country for ensures river water, flows freely, also
the rainwater, sewers water flows freely to reach the end points without
getting standstill and get stagnated
78)
DISMANTLING OF ALL ENCROACHMENTS IN THE HILL STATIONS
FROM WHERE FREE FALL OF WATER TO THE RIVERS, DISMANTLING OF THE CONSTRUCTIONS /
DAMS PREVENTING FREE FLOW OF RIVER/ GLACIER WATER
Also government
must on war footing bases identify and dismantle the encroachments near the man
flow lines of the river stream/ glacier streams in the hill stations and also
in the plain areas to prevent possible floods in the nearby habitations in case
of excess rain due to weather changes (especially due to Elnino in some places
there is excess rain); this measure is necessary as in the hill states like
Uttarakhand , Himachal etc recently the floods
are mainly due to the encroachments and constructions along the flow of
the rivers and also shrinking of the flow due to dam constructions, resulting
in heavy loss of life’s in addition to loss of property, as such government
must do assessment of all rivers, hill station flow, and dismantle the
constructions, enrichments along the banks of the rivers which are obstructing
the flow otherwise or which are going to effect in case of excess water flow
due to floods or incessant rains.
79)
GOVERNMENT
MUST MAINTAIN DATA BANK OF ALL
COMMERCIAL ESTABLISHMENTS, MANUFACTURING UNITS, VILLAGE WISE, WARD WISE,
DETAILS OF NATURE OF MANUFACTURE, AND NATURE OF WASTE GENERATED SOLID, SLURRY,
FLUID, THE EFFECTS OF INTENSITY OF THAT WASTE, ALSO GEO MAPPING OF VARIOUS ALL
TYPES OF MANUFACTURING UNITS CATEGORY WISE.
It is high time that government have data base of
every manufacturing unit, factory, and industry small or big with nature of
manufacture, the quantities of raw material, the process, the type of waste
generated, the quantities waste generated, the measures adopted to treat the
waste disposal, every village wise, ward wise.
Also as far as the industrial emissions are concerned
the first step is government must take censes of all employees working in both
organised and un organised sector, details of place of work, nature of work
they perform, from how many years they are working etc in a data sheet and take
details as per voter ID card village wise, polling booth wise, provide a unique
id card, with skill up gradation training in due course. It should be mandatory
that all organised and un organised employees must get registered with
government with the details of skills, the nature of work they are performing,
the exact address of the place of work, also it should be mandatory that only registered
employees must be allowed to work in the organisations, all employees must
carry & display this government registration card along with them while
attending the work place.
After that government must make it mandatory that all
the commercial and industrial establishments must register with government
online by providing the details with nature of the work, the number of people
working, the raw material used, from where they sourcing, mode of
transportation of raw material, the process of manufacture, the end products,
the quantity of material lost in the process of conversion of raw material to
finished product, number of working hours and number of shifts, the details of
building plans, the electricity consumption, details of the machinery, the
details of electricity supply whether captive power or power from the discom’s,
source of water quantity of use of water discharge of treated water etc,
whether power from the renewable sources or non renewable sources
generated, what are the quantities of
water used, the source of water , whether river, ground, or rain water
harvested or municipal water, whether safety standards maintained or not, where
they are dumping the waste, where they are discharging the effluents, whether
they possess any bank account, from where they are getting finances, the
details of banks of the individuals and organisations, the contact
details, e mail, social media, phone
numbers, the details of sales tax,
income tax and other government statuary licences. etc and should be given a
unique ID number for every verified manufacturing place, like population data
census the manufacturing data census must be collected; the data collected must
be under video graph.
Also government must collect the data of all bank
account holders, all sales tax holders, all income tax payers etc
Also government must the details of all transports
across the country gather the details from bank accounts of commercial
accounts, all individual accounts, all details of vehicle registrations as per
the RTA, especially the commercial goods vehicles, their ownership
details, and recording details of their
earnings, from where they get the goods to transport, to which places they
transport to deliver the material, how much goods they carry every day/ week/
month, whether they receive payments on cash or through bank transaction, their
bank account details etc.
Also government must collect the data of Discom power
users every village wise, ward wise especially all power bills, and find out
from the users that the reason for high power bills, conduct energy audit, also
find out the details of use of motors/ generators, details from villagers/ ward
people about any gaseous emissions or liquid
discharge from the neighbourhood etc all trade unions, all farmers
association members must be contacted to find out information about any emissions / effluents come in their
notice, also at the time of soil testing card information (as per GOI
initiative) the officials must verify the in that territory for any discharges
etc observe near to their territory where the factories are situated.
All the details should be collected independently by
independent teams and the data should be correlated to ascertain the un
authorised manufacturing, un authorised discharge of effluents, un authorised
discharge of emissions, and bring such manufacturing into regulation by giving
them time to follow the norms / standards, pay taxes with the VDS / one time
opportunity to regularise.
Also government must make it mandatory that every
manufacturer should be a member of the manufacturers association of that
category of products, or service providers association of that kind of service
provider, for all kinds of industries whether large or MSME; and then they
should make set of norms among themselves for training the manpower, quality
control, improving the efficiency of manufacturing, recycling waste energy
recovery, water & energy conservation etc.
Also the manufacturing associations themselves must
fix maximum optimal limit of use of electricity, water, discharges per standard
quality of output in a standard process (for different type of process); also
the manufacturers association ensure their members follow the standard
treatment procedures for effluents treatment before discharge ensuring bare
minimum pollution effects on environment,. This measure ensures that the role
of government can be minimised as was intended by the industry (to improve
quality, reduce corruption) as well as as promised by the GOI that “Minimum
government Maximum governance”.
Also it should be mandatory that all transactions for
purchase of raw material or sale of finished goods in the chain i.e.
manufacturers, distributors, retailers must be through bank online transactions
only; all the finished products should be bar coded and the chain of bar coding
should be made available in the web of the particular manufacturer and also in
the manufacturing associations website so that any product just by reading the
bar coding should reveal the details of retailer, the manufacturer ; this
measure yields the desired results in optimal use of water, ethical sourcing of
water, and minimal discharge of treated effluents; this is the best way of containing the emissions to a great extent
and also improve the revenues for the government as all goods manufactured are
by and large taxed.
Also government
must make it mandatory to do GEO Mapping and GEO all manufacturing units based
on category wise, territory wise, process wise etc throughout the country.
80)
MANDATORY TO MAKE PUBLIC DATA OF ALL MANUFACTURING
UNITS, CATEGORY WISE EMISSION OF TYPE OF
WASTES GENERATED, QUANTITY OF EFFLUENTS,
DISCHARGE DATA OF EFFLUENTS EVERY DAY ONLINE, REAL TIME UP DATES
MANDATORY THAT
VEHICLES CARRYING THE EFFLUENT/ SLURRY ARE EQUIPPED WITH GPS AND DASH CAMS AND
ALSO CC CAMERA MOUNTED ON THE VEHICLES MONITORING FOR ENSURING DISCHARGE ARE
DONE AT THE DESIGNATED LOCATIONS ONLY
ALSO IT SHOULD BE
MANDATORY FOR MANUFACTURING UNITS ENTIRE
PROCESS OF TREATMENT AND DISCHARGE OF EFFLUENTS
SHOULD BE UNDER HIGH RESOLUTION CC CAMERAS WITH LIVE WEB FEED REAL TIME
FOR PUBLIC UNDERSTANDING AND SCRUTINY ENSURING MANUFACTURE ADHERE TO STANDARDS
OF EMISSION AND ETHICAL MANUFACTURING
Mandatory that
government make it public the data of all manufacturing units of all sectors,
territory wise, sector wise quantity of waste generated, type of waste
generated, the quantities of effluents and discharge of effluents, designated
places for discharge of effluents, also for public knowledge what are standard
measures to follow by every type of manufacture to treat their waste before
discharge, he upper limit of contaminated chemicals in the effluents allowed to
discharge after treatment, what are the effects on environment of untreated
discharges, on a website, in a text
& video form.
Also it should be
mandatory that entire process of treatment and discharge must be under high
resolution CC cameras and should be recorded and should be webcasted, and the
data of every days production must be up loaded by the every industry on the
web, also up date details of treatment every day before discharge, of every
single batch discharge, every batch of production, every day so that people should
watch, especially the worker unions, NGO’s to identify any deviations from
standard procedure of treatment, any deviation from discharge in non designated
places, and inform the government through mobile APP.
Also government
must make it mandatory to do GEO Mapping and GEO tagging location of discharges
and the emissions / effluents they discharge, and what are the effects on
public, soil, water, etc, and a automatic update on the mobiles when they pass
the locations of discharges that so and so industries are in this locality and
they are emitting these effluents/ this is the area which was designated for
effluents discharge of so and so type of industries; So that public will be more more vigilant
-arin to report to the government in case any manufacturing units do not adhere
to standards.
Also it should be
mandatory that the effluent slurries, the sludge’s from the manufacturing units
must be discharged and stored in the designated places, and all the vehicles
carrying the sludge and slurry must be equipped with GPS and high resolution CC
cameras mounted on the vehicle (as was
proposed to the fuel tankers carrying fuel from the oil refineries to the fuel
stations,) and the confirmation of discharge should be made online real time
live video that only at the designated location only the vehicles drained the
discharges, not in the midway.
Also it should be
mandatory on each and every manufacturing unit, to put it on the web daily, the
details of vehicles carrying, the time of stating from the factory/
manufacturing unit, the approximate time, the time of discharge. This measure
will certainly ensure that the manufacturing units maintain to certain extent.
In order to ensure that there will not be any
negligence wilful otherwise during the surveys, or there will not be any violations government
must develop a mobile APP to take
pitchers of emission each village wise, ward wise and send it the government
through that APP to fix the culprits.
Also government must educate all the people in the
country, also all the people in the territory wise (about the industries in
that territories), various types of emissions, their harm full effects on
ecology, human beings, animal, also how to identify, the emissions, effluents,
how to report it to the government; all the elected representatives, gram Sabha
members must be educated about this and there should be a periodic meetings of
the gram sabhas and in the wards to make people aware and act as
vigilant-arians.
In addition government make it the responsibility of
the elected representatives of the villages and wards to lead the vigilant
system, act as watch dog in identifying the emissions, contamination of water
bodies, soil, also encroachments of the water bodies and report it to the
government, in case failed to do so, in the event of encroachments of water
bodies, discharge of effluents, the local elected representatives should be
liable for punishments, as co-conspirators for wilful cooperation to the people
/ organisations which are emitting/ contaminate. This measure will certainly
contain the emissions/ discharges of effluents to a great extent, in addition
the health of the people will be taken care to a great extent, as most of the people analyse why they are getting the heath discords and
the correct medicine will be taken as such heir recovery from illness is
faster, certain. Also since doctors in that territory are aware of the causes
of illness, they will be able to prescribe suitable medicine.
81)
GOVERNMENT
MUST MAKE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRADE UNION/ TRADE UNION MEMBERS
INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY FOR NOT INFORMING/ CONCEALING THE INFORMATION OF
DISCHARGE OF EFFLUENTS WITHOUT TREATMENT.
MANDATORY FOR ALL MANUFACTURING UNITS WITH MORE THAN
10 EMPLOYEES TO BE PART OF ALL TRADE UNION OF THAT TYPE OF MANUFACTURING,
WITHOUT WHICH THERE IS NO MEANING FOR FREEDOM OF UNION
Also for more successful control of emissions,
government make the trade unions also be responsible for the untreated
emission, for this government must amend the trade union act and allow
formation of trade unions for every manufacturing unit above 10 workers in that
unit, also it should be mandatory that every worker must be a member of a
recognised trade union even if a single employee working in a mom & pop
store. And it should be the responsibility of the trade union members to report
to the trade union and also to the government through the mobile APP the
details of emissions in case they found that a particular manufacturer is
discharging without treatment; in case the government authorities notice any
emissions the trade union members are also liable for punishment. Also the
trade union members must report un authorised manufacturing units, or excess
manufacturing etc. to the government.
82)
MANDATORY
GOVERNMENT MUST CONDUCT PERIODIC TESTING OF WATER BODIES, SOILS IN THE VICINITY
OF THE FACTORIES WHICH EMIT LIQUID EFFLUENTS FOR ENSURING THAT THE FACTORIES
ADHERE TO TREATMENT STANDARD FOR SAFE DISCHARGE OF WATER, MAKE THE TESTING DATA
PUBLIC
Also government must collect the samples of water
bodies, soils from the vicinity of the factories/ industries, especially the
specific industries, and also the discharge out let point of all manufacturing
units that emit effluents, all water bodies adjacent/ near to the manufacturing
unit on daily bases, shift bases, so that it will be easy for identification of
pollution emission industries, this measure will contain emission of untreated fluids,.
Slurry, etc, this measure reduces the scope for manipulation in emissions.
83)
MANDATORY
GOVERNMENT MUST INSTALL AIR QUALITY INDEX METERS IN ALL PLACES OF MANUFACTURING
UNIT, IN THE VICINITY OF THE MANUFACTURING UNIT FOR IDENTIFYING THE EMISSIONS
ONLINE REAL TIME FOR ENSURING THE DISCHARGES ARE SUBJECTED TO STANDARDS
Also government must install the air quality index
monitors in every village, ward, where the factories are situated, especially
the heavy pollution industries and monitor the quality of air in the vicinity
at multiple locations, so that the quality of air in that vicinity can be monitored
remotely on every hourly, bases; in case
of any deviation / abnormal rise in any of the indexes then government must
alert the local pollution control board officials to go for surprise check for
that industry to identify the reason, also in case of multiple industries in
the same locality, then specific analysis with additional sophisticated
instruments the types of gases released into the air, correlating the data bank
of industries types and emission types and find out the manufacturer/ industry and
inspect for ascertaining the reason for release of gases un treated; Also
government must maintain the details of by product emissions in the form of
gases, fluids from each verity of industries should be stored, this measure
enables easy identification of emissions from which factory the emissions are
released un treated.
84)
MANDATORY
REDUCTION OF USAGE OF WATER IN VARIOUS INDUSTRIES, MANDATORY UP GRADATION OF
TECHNOLOGIES FOR REDUCTION, RECYCLE THE WATER; INCENTIVES FOR ZERO WASTE
MANUFACTURING.
BAN ON CAPACITY ADDITION IN THE PAPER INDUSTRY, BAN ON
FURTHER INSTALLATION OF NEW PAPER &
PULP UNITS; MEASURES TO REDUCE THE USAGE OF PAPER PRODUCTS (WRITING, PRINTING
AND PACKAGING AND ALSO NEWS PRINT) IN VARIOUS SECTORS.
It is very necessary that the water intensive
manufacturing and industry must upgrade the technologies every five years to
reduce the total usage of water and improve the recycle and reuse of waste
water and energy and ensure eco-friendly manufacturing; for this government
provide tax incentives for research in the various industries, also government
must provide incentives for up gradation of technologies, the incentives depend
up the quantities of use of water reduction and quantities of water recycling
and quantities of energy recovery from the waste generated in that particular
type of industry.
Also it is fact that one of the top most water usage
industry is paper and pulp industry, and it is a fact that the demand for paper
is growing in India in spite of digitalisation; the annual production of over
11 million metric tonnes with projected growth of 15 million metric tonnes by
2020, with the present per capta consumption of paper is 9.2 kg, and for every
one kg per capta consumption increase leads to an increase of 1 million metric
tonnes production annually; of the total production per 38% production account
for writing and printing papers and 45% account for packaging paper and 17%
account for news papers; the fact of the matter is that for every tonne/ 1000
kg production of pulp and paper the water consumption ranging from 80,000
litres to 150,000 litres depending up on
the raw material, apart from using heavy electric power, also discharging large
quantities of effluents into water bodies; paper industry is one of the largest
green house generating industry; as such government must take all necessary
steps to reduce the use of paper in INDIA and contain no further capacity
addition (as of now the industry is running at 79% of the installed capacity of
around 12.75 million metric tonnes per annum).
85)
MEASURES
TO REDUCE WRITING & PRINTING PAPER
The first step in the reduction of writing and
printing paper; since the education sector uses large quantities of paper for
text books and writing, the focus should be on reduction of printing of text
books, as only once in 5 years or 10 years the text books content are changed
slightly, as such in case of reuse of text books by the students of each year
of the same class will save huge printing paper for all classes from Kg to PG
For ensuring re use of text books government must make
it mandatory that hence forth text books are printed as lose papers with page
numbers and the lose papers are laminated and kept in folders, the laminated
papers chapter wise will be bundled every day (this will also reduce the weight
of the school bags, as children carry only those chapter papers of each subject
that teachers are going to teach) to till the course of that year is completed
and the same should be returned to the educational institute so that the same
can be re used by the next year same class students, penalties for not
maintaining the laminated papers quality, so that the students will use the
text book laminated papers carefully, even in case the some laminated lose
sheets are lost, only those lost few pages can be re printed, this measures
saves lot of papers and printing ink, transportation etc; in addition students can use the digital text books to
read.
Also since digitisation is taking place in the fast
pace, from 10th standard or from intermediate till PG government
provide high end tablet pc that recognises hand writing with e pencils to store
the written matter on the tablet pc in their own hand writing to note down the
teachings of the class room; and prepare
themselves for examinations, of once one tablet PC is given to the student he/she
should use the same till the PG, or else pre loaded text books and space for
writing each chapter wise should be made in the tablet PC so that the same
tablet can be returned after completion of the academic year. this measure
saves compete printing and writing note books from 10th standard to
PG
Also government must ban the text books of educational
institutions zerox, it is really a criminal act on the students to take zerox
of the text books, which is one of the largest paper consuming act, which is
otherwise illegal, copying the book / course material for reading, without the
permission of the publishers; as it is a fact most of the books especially the
software education, the medial education books are getting zeroxed in the zerox
shops by the students, by obtaining the book from the library or one student
buys the book and other students simply zerox the book, which is otherwise a
loss for the publisher and also additional use of paper, which means millions
of litres of water wastage.
Also it should be made mandatory that all the book
publishers must keep the library e addition of the books published by them in
the internet, anyone can read the books from the net, by paying a nominal rent
by the reader/ students, since the books are only referral books the students
who are interested should pay, also all the books in the libraries of the
educational institutions must be made to read within the library only and not
to allow to physically carry with them. Also government must make it a non bail
able criminal offence on the part of the zerox
shop to take zerox of any books for more than 10 pages, this will
certainly reduce the use of zerox books also saves the publishers from
unauthorised use by the users, and e additions by the publishers will make more
people study the books; government must sell pre paid cards in open market to
buy anywhere to provide the prepaid card voucher number for paying the book
reading read online, the maximum amount of book reading rent for any book
should not be more than Rs 10 per month, in case reader wants to print they pay
50% of cost of publisher printed book, they can with visiting the publishers
website and paying online the cash and print instantly only one copy. This measure
reduces lot of paper.
Also government must make all the project reports
submission to the banks, educational institutions must be through e mail only
with complete ban use of papers/ printing on computer papers.
Also government must make it mandatory that all the
educational records of all students, un employed, already employed must in the
digital lockers, Also government must make it mandatory that all the employment
advertisements only through digital advertisements, so that people can search
the jobs according the education, skills, the place of work, etc; all the
government and private job applications must submit their resumes and
supporting documents only in the digital format, this will reduce billions of
papers getting zeroxed for the job applications. All the employment
applications must be filled online.
Also government must regulate the sale and use of bulk
lose papers, all the retailers of bulk lose papers for the purpose of zerox,
computer print must get registered with government, also they should sell to
the users only through government registration, all the users more than one
bundle (500 lose papers) per month in the office/ commercial establishments,
zerox shops or the cyber cafe shops must get register with government, every
time they order the quantities of the volumes of bundles they should make an
online requisition with automatic permission number from government and the
retailer / whole seller must sell more than one bundle to users with this
government permit number for the user; All the zerox shops, all the computer printout
shops, all the cyber cafes must operate under CC Camera monitoring, all these
measures ensure that the paper use is accounted for, all those offices /
commercial establishments that uses the papers more will be audited for the
real need of use of paper, to make them upgrade to the computer systems
communications where ever possible, also these measures makes the zerox shops,
and computer printout shops to be answerable for bulk printing/ zerox, also it should
be made mandatory that all the zerox shops and all the computer printout shops
must get payment online through bank transaction for any user bills more than
Rs 500, also for the users more than Rs 100 they should record the details of
online bill along with phone number of the customer, online real-time with
government website.
Also government must ban use of papers for wall
posters for cinema, political etc, as it is fact the wall posters are consuming
lot of water for manufacture and also uses heavy inks and are a social
distraction, and also indiscriminate pasting of wall posters reducing the city/
territories look, also most of the wall papers are pasted with chemical
adhesives every now and then they remove to add/ paste new wall posters, and they
leave the wall posters on the road and many HOLY COWS eating these removed tore
wall posters which not only contain the chemical adhesives in addition to the
chemicals/ beaching agents in the paper, also consuming the printing inks,
paints that got fixed on the posters as a result the health of the Holy cows are getting
effects. And by and large indiscriminate display of wall posts do not have much
eye ball attraction and the purpose of those who are fixing is not served.
As such government must ban the wall posters, or
streamline the wall posters with pre permission from the government to print
the wall poster, with bar coding on each poster with total number of wall
poster permitted to print and designated places to paste based on the
information provided by the permission seeker;
government permit the quantities and the before applying they should
give a declaration that they are going to display these wall posters only in
the specific designated locations that wall posters are meant to display by the
local municipal authorities; any public can simply type the bar code number on
the government website or mobile APP to know whether such and such poster
obtained permission or not, if obtained whether they are pasted in the
designated permitted location or not, any deviation they can report, and it
will be heavily panelised; also there should be uniform guidelines for all the
municipalities to chose the place for space for wall posters, and the place
should not create traffic jams or the place should not be at the traffic
island, only the specific place for wall posters should be in the market yards
inner compound wall or inside the market yard where there is no vehicle
movement, the cinema complexes inner compound wall, this measure will not only reduce the use of
wall posters , but also reduces the total quantities of water used to make the
paper in addition to saving large quantities of effluents generated from the
paper manufacture.
Also government must ban use of paper pamphlets as
hardly any one bothered to read the pamphlets, in addition it is creating more
rubbles on the home and on the commercial complex corridors and also on the
streets; as such government must ban the commercial pamphlets, political party
pamphlets only NGO’s can distribute the pamphlets that too only for social
awareness message, and for that they should apply online to get permission to
pamphlets printing. This measure reduces lot of waste paper generation.
Also government, private organisations must circulate
all its communications internally within governments both state and central, or
local government in case of government, and in case of private among its branch
offices, its share holders and its vendors, only through e mail without any
printed material, also government must make it mandatory that all educated must
make their communication through e mails to the government for any
correspondence with government.
Also government must standardize the formats for
various agreements, and the people should choose among the formats, government
must create a central portal for all kinds of agreements whether they are sale
deeds, or rental agreements or any other agreements, of business purpose like
dealers distribution etc, all
government, private banks, financial institutions or among the individuals, all
the agreements should be mandatorily e agreements, by both parties entering the
agreement in the government website by typing a onetime special pass word which
can be obtained by providing the basic details through their mobile number
similar to that of online bank transaction. This measure will reduce lot of
paper work, in addition the agreements are secure and they cannot be tampered,
and also the agreements deemed to be registered.
Also all financial agreements of loans private and
banks must be mandatorily done with e agreements to not only reduce the paper
work, but also it makes easy recovery through automatic bank attachment for EMI
/ Interest, it should be made mandatory that all payments to loans should
should be through bank and no cash transactions, with complete ban on use,
legal validity of so called promissory notes, and blank paper notes etc, and
also no validly for cheques bounce cases if the transactions are not
written; this measure will not only
reduces paper works but also reduces private fiancé persons atrocities for
recovery, it also reduces black money circulation in the finance business in
addition it reduces valuable time of courts and police stations in the so
called cheque bounce cases, once the bank account are made mandatory biometric
and AADHAAR card based, with centralised data of banks, if any amount deposited
in any bank anywhere in India the first right must go to the recovery, and in
case no amounts of transactions in any bank in the individuals name within two
years then only the case should go to the legal proceedings for recovery.
Also government must make the bank cheque leafs
costly, all transactions should be online, and all payments between vendor and
vendee in the commercial/ business transactions should be mandatorily online,
also all the government statutory bill payments be paid online, for this
government must send all the electricity and water bills through e mail or
mobile and the bill should be mandatorily paid online, through bank payment
only through mobile APP for each government service.
Also government must make it mandatory that all
property registrations must be online and the seller and the buyer must submit
their records online, this measure not only reduces the papers use but also
reduces the frauds by the sellers or government officials.
Also government must make it mandatory that hence
forth all the papers submitted to the courts should be in the electronic
format, all the judges and all the registered lawyers must get a separate e
mail ID with digital space and all the lawyers arguing for and against any case
must submit their petitions and evidences in the electronic format, all the
judges must be provided with latest high end tablet PC for reading the case
details filed by the lawyers; this measure will save billions of papers, and
billions of rupees for the petitioners and respondents in all 30 million odd
pending cases at various courts, as they are zeroxing hundreds of papers
several times till the case is closed.
Also government must reduce the printing of tokens,
bills in the toll gates, by making e toll pass, by making every toll gate must
have a bar coded reader, and the vehicles must buy smart cards based on the
type of the vehicle with pre loaded money by recharging through bank or any
mobile recharge unit, so that the smart cards just need to swipe at the toll
plaza so that the money for the toll will automatically get cut, this will
reduce the printing ink of papers and papers
saves millions of tonnes of papers, it reduces the toll frauds.
Also government must ban printing of tickets or
boarding passes for both railways, air ways, hence forth all tickets should be
on the mobile SMS through smart phones or ordinary phones through SMS with bar
coding number of the ticket booked with voter ID card number/ AADHAAR card
number of the passengers, this measures saves not only paper but also more
security and convenience
Also government must make make that all retail stores,
restaurants, food courts billing should be online, that is the bill should be
sent as SMS to the mobile phone number/ e mail/ social media of the purchaser,
and it should be mandatory that every purchaser should provide the mobile
number mandatorily and the purchase bill
should contain the mobile number; or in case people who feels that their mobile
number is privacy, that retail store should
provide the last four digits of the bill to the customer, and keep the
details of item wise purchase on the website of the retail store, and the
customer can visit the website and type the last four digits on that date and
obtain the detailed bill, and this will be like one time pass word, and once
used the bill cannot be visible next time, and the bill cannot be printable, in
case the customer insists for a bill, then he/she has to pay Rs 10 per bill and
obtain from the retail store. This measure saves lot of bills.
Also government must make it mandatory that all the
bills provided by the citizens to claim the bills in the government and private
organisations for various occasions like medical reimbursement, ltc etc, for
all those people the bill should be e bills from the service provider, and only
they should submit e bills (the bills generated in the e accounts software of
the service provider and certainly not the paper bills scanned),this measures
saves lot of papers, in addition this measure reduces the fraud claims.
Also government ban issue of paper tickets in the
movie theatres, instead government must must make it mandatory online mobile
APP booking and payment through mobile wallet or they can buy prepaid smart
cards which are made available at any pan shops, which can be rechargeable, and
each person entry should swipe the card to get payment to the entry ticket and
enter, this measure will certainly reduce the use of paper also more convenient
for the people.
The above measures will certainly reduce usage quantities
of writing and printing paper use in India to great extent, still the
manufactures can produce the paper at full installed capacity to meet the
growing demand due to growing population so by the above measures of paper
reduction there will not be any loss for the manufacturers or the employment in
the paper industry and only future demands are adjusted against the reduction.

MEASURES
TO REDUCE USE OF PACKAGING PAPER
Also since the consumption of packaging paper is to the
tune of 45% of the total paper usage government must ensure reduction of usage
of paper in the packaging.
It is a criminal waste on the part of the E commerce
traders to pack every other thing in the corrugated box by and large, since the
E commerce has enormous advantages, and on the rise year after year, so
government must ban the use of corrugated boxes packaging in the e commerce
trade which itself reduce the packing paper requirement to a large extent. They
may use the cloths or jute or plastic nets to pack the goods, may be with
exceptional that only glass items, crockery items, and electronic items may be
allowed to pack in corrugated boxes.
It is a fact that
e commerce grocery suppliers
print the list of groceries in every time the customers orders for
internal purpose of packing, and also while delivering to the customers they provide the printing,
which need to be eliminated to eliminate
use of paper in the E commerce, as such it should be made mandatory that all e commerce grocessery
stores use the tablet PC, Smart phones internal commutation, to read the content of the items ordered to
do pickup and package and ready for delivery, also while delivery they should
send the details of ordered by the customer and supplied by the APP store in
the bill of delivery online, to the mobile of the customer or E mail of the
customer so that the customer verify the quantities and items ordered along
with the bill of the APP service provider in case cash on delivery or , rather
than every time seeing the printed bill, this measure saves lot of paper.
Also for the E commerce packages that are getting delivered
from the E commerce stores must print a bar code, which should contain details of
with item description for every order of the customer, only the address along
with the bar coded sticker should be printed and pasted on the pack, this will
further save large amounts of paper use in the delivery system of E commerce parcels.
Since most of the E commerce deliver are taking E signature with Smart phones,
why they should print all details, just paste a barcode sticker which contains
all details of customer?
Also government must make a policy that additional
amount for use of corrugated boxes for glass items, electronic items sold by
both e commerce as well as the direct sales in the show rooms, and if one do
not want corrugated paper box then they should get reduction in the cost of the
item, or initial option for no corrugated box and safe delivery by the e commerce service providers or the show
rooms, or return for a price, and the
manufacturing company may re use the same corrugated box by just fixing
the sticker of the new production in it, as it is a fact that most of the
electronic items like grinders etc are opened and tested for the function so
this measure of returning of the corrugated boxes will not be big issue, in
case people are getting reduction of some amount, many people will certainly do
not use the corrugated box packaging; Alternatively government must make it
mandatory that all the e commerce service providers must send the electronic
items, glass/ cookery items which are breakable in a special plastic containers
with arrangements in it to ensure that the goods will not get damaged in
transit, and the plastic containers should be seal open in front of the
customers who ordered these breakable goods and o delivery the e commerce
service provider delivery person should retain the plastic container, this
measure saves millions of tonnes of surrogated boxes and billions of litres of
water is saved.
Also government must ban using corrugated boxes for
electronic items, like wrapping the refrigerators, washing machines, etc.
instead there should be a permanent safe plastic/nylon/polyethylene re usable boxes which should be used by the manufacturers to
deliver to the distributors or retailers, and collect the same from the
retailers and distributors after unloading; there should a permanent system to
safely store in the vertical cup boards, at the distributor/ retailer place,
only the outer hard cover should be returned back from the retailers place,
however there should be some soft plastic cover / cloth cover on each pack to
ensure no one tampers the seal, ensure
the original manufactures seal prevails for quality of the product, in case a
customer wants the outer plastic hard cover they should be charged extra the
cost of the manufacture of the plastic hard box.
Also government ban packing of plastic/ glass, water bottles/ beverages in the paper
corrugated boxes cartons to distribute to the retailers from the manufactures,
instead they should use the plastic boxes which will be usable for decades for
distribution from manufacturer to the distributor to the retailer the cartons
of water bottles; Also government must induce the first time deposit to all
tetra packs packing of liquid foods like milk, fruit juices in tetra packs for
more than 200 ml, exchangeable at any location in India in any retailer store
for the second purchase by returning the empty used tetra packed milk/ juices.
Also government must ban use of corrugated boxes for
the shoes industry and all the shoes must be packed only in the cloth bags, as
it is really unnecessary waste of water for manufacture of that hard corrugated
box for the shoe.
Also government ban the packaging of eggs in the
corrugated boxes, instead they should use the plastic re usable trays to keep
the eggs for transportation
Also government must ban use of corrugated paper in
the logistic industry for packing and transportation of material, ensure they
should use the permanent re usable material, and the persons who used the
permanent material has to return back after transportation for re use or pay
rent for free days for keeping, and in case non return they should collect the
full amount of the permanent packing material.
Also government must ban packing of FMCG products in
the corrugated carton boxes to pack bunch of packed items, it is really a
criminal waste that packing in corrugated boxed these FMCG products, example a
detergent powder of one Kg packed in a corrugated box which is otherwise only a
outer decorative box when the actual detergent powder is sealed in a
polyethylene vacuumed sealed pack,
and this corrugated outer box of
the detergent weights minim of 100 gm, then it is nothing but 12.5 litres of
water is water in manufacture of the 100 gm corrugated box, in addition more
than 9 litres of effluents discharged into the water bodies , in addition the
power consumption in the processing and also the gases released while
manufacturing, so is it necessary that the outer box of chemical detergent
power (non bio) requires this kind of
packing? Causing severe damage to the environment, it is a fact that annually
several millions of these detergent power boxes are sold, which lead to
billions of litres of water getting wasted for no productive work,??? Similarly
other food and non food products of FMCG like soaps packed in boxes, tooth
pastes packed in boxes etc and also for transportation and distribution
packaging in the corrugated paper boxes must be banned, alternatively they must
use the reusable plastic boxes, plastic taps which are foldable, easy to carry
large volumes of the empty cartons in a small space of a container, back to
manufacturer.
Also government and manufacturing industry must
jointly form a committee to determine which products should be allowed to use
paper boxes in pharmacy industry, etc and industries like detergent should be
banned, without this there s no meaning for government advertisement for save
water save life??, there should not be two class system, one is common people
and other is business people????
Also government regulate the use of paper boxes in the
readymade ready to eat foods packing, government must levy luxury tax on the
food packing 100 % the actual cost of the each food box, like the pizza
packing, Cake boxes, etc delivered/ sold within the city limit or within 10 Km
radius; from the bakeries and pizzas, as most of the door delivers do not
require that kind of packing of paper cardboard, instead all the pizzas must
use the large specially designed casseroles boxes to deliver which ensure no
hand touch or distort the shape of the content (like a pan shaped boxes with
pizzas made to in the pans and pack the pans so that while removing only the
pan handle is touched not the content, it is up to the customers to transfer
the content into any vessel) and retain with the pizza supplier the same for
reuse, this measure will save lot of paper, in case the customers want only
packing for giving gift etc they should pay 100 % extra cost for the value of
the corrugated box, and this 100 % extra tax should go to the government
exchequer. This measure will certainly reduce use of boxes for pizzas.
Also government must put luxury tax on the use &
throw tissue papers (the market of tissue papers just started raising), and ban
use of tissue papers in the restaurants, all the functions, etc, either they should serve the reusable cloths napkins
or advise the people to bring the hand kerchiefs or hand napkins if they wish.
Also government must establish a “bring banks” for the
unemployed youth to establish in every ward to collect used plastic bottles, tetra packs for recycling,
by door to door collection every month, also for accepting at counter the empty
water bottles, beverage bottles and empty tetra packs to refund the money in
the form of mobile cash, in the event of collection of cash advance for the
first purchase, with details of first purchase code of the store where it was
purchased or can exchange for bonus points to purchase the product without any
cash refund with any retailer similar product. This ‘bring banks’ should be limited
to few select recyclable products collected in the original form only. Also
this Bring banks can take fresh unused news papers (other than reading) from
the homes every month to ensure recycle of the news papers, and the value of
the news papers weight can be given credit to them to get deducted in the next
months news paper bills. This measure ensures maximum amount of use and throw
products like packaged water bottles, tetra packs and also the empty carton
boxes of the food packs will get collected and recycled to protect the
environment, in addition this process generates substantial self direct and
indirect employment, direct employment through collection agency employees, and
indirect employment through employment in the recycling plants.
All the above measures save lot of packaging paper, in
addition generated additional employment in other sectors.
87)
MEASURES
TO REDUCE CONSUMPTION OF NEWS PRINT PAPER
Also government must reduce the news papers and
magazines size to reduce the use of the quantity of paper, government must ban
the advertisements in all magazines, only in news papers some government
advertisements can be allowed to given that too the advertisements must be only
social awareness advertisements certainly not the so called opening, closing
ceremonies, the achievements of any govt dept etc; this measure will certainly
reduce the printing of the magazines and most of the magazines and tabloids are
just surviving on government/ PSU advertisements and most of the content in it
is cut copy minor language change and print, and it is become an organised
racket with nexus between government and the magazines to provide
advertisements and indulge in wasting of tax payers money and also partly
encouraging indirect corruption
Also government should contain the value of private
organisations giving advertisements in the print media, government must
restrict the print media advertisements by the private commercial business
organisations to 25% of their total value of the advertisement expenditure, the
remaining 75% advertisement can be according to the choice of the business
organisation whether outdoor hording advertisements or television
advertisements or online internet advertisements or door to door
advertisements; if any private organisation commercial, industrial provides
more than 25% value of their annual advertisement in print media, they should
be subjected to penalties with levying of luxury tax of 100% on the total
amount of advertisements above 25% of the advertisements, and this will
certainly reduce the use of the print media
and reduce the paper volumes, as it is a fact that for the sake of
advertisements the news papers are increasing the volume of total papers, which
means criminal waste of more fresh water for processing the printable paper, in
addition discharge of substantial quantities of waste water .
In order to protect the print media, (which is
otherwise known for pure journalism, as the print media journalists have ample
time to analyse the data and write the content in a detailed manner by and
large compared to electronic media), government must reduce the taxes / zero
tax for the consumables for the print media (only for news papers which are
having accreditation), if print media restricts its content in few pages,
rather than filling pages with half naked photos of young women or gossips of
film news or cut copy paste from the social media or from news channels, (let
news papers write the original content, relevant content which should be
decided by the media associations among themselves); By this measure of reduction
in advertisements, and providing concessions on consumables makes print media
restricted to perform well with original content of analysis or investigative
journalism or the original press briefings of the government.; over all government
must reduce the paper making and using in India to save billions of litres of
fresh water and billions litres of effluents and GHG, for over all development
ofcountry through judicious use of water.
88)
GOVERNMENT FIX THE QUOTA FOR SUGAR PER HOUSE HOLD AT NORMAL
PRICE, ABOVE QUOTA PRICE SHOULD BE TWICE PER KG FOR HOUSE HOLD; SUGAR FOR
COMMERCIAL USE SHOULD BE THREE TIMES HOUSE HOLD PRICE TO REDUCE USE OF SUGAR, SUGAR CANE PRODUCTION, TO REDUCE
WATER USAGE
It is a fact that
India is the diabetic capital of the world, in addition the rise of obesity in
children, in addition rise in cardio vascular diseases, all certainly because
of the food habits, certainly because of eating refined food, and mostly
because of raw sugar consumption, in many forms, it is evident from the
statistics that the average sugar consumption in India has raised from 5% of
total global production to 13 of total global production in the last 50 years,
with per capta consumption of about 21 kg sugar, when the permitted average
sugar intake per adult male is 9 table
spoons or about 37 gm, and average female is 25 gm, which translates into
average sugar per annum is 13.05 kg per male, and 9.125 kg per number female,
is the maximum limit one can consume, but most shocking almost double the
quantities are consumed in India, and more shockingly the so called aerated
soft drinks 330 ml can contains near about 39 gm of sugar (9 tea spoons)one
litre contain 120 gm of sugar approximately; which mean just consuming one soft
drink the entire requirement of sugar per day is reached, and what all sugar
coming naturally from the food intake like rice, fruits, coffee/tea/ small
eats, etc is fully additional, but no one can live on just one drink of aerated
drinks and starve to control their sugar intake??, as a result more people are
prone to several health discords; also further most shocking is the so called
aerated soft drinks which takes about 2 litres of water per one litre of soft
drinks is the generally known fact for majority of the people, and one litre of
soft drink sold around 40 Rs, but most shocking is it actually takes near about
110 litres of fresh water to make one litre of soft drink.
As it is a fact
that to make one Kg of sugar from the sugar cane rising to the processing of
sugar it takes average of 1000 Litres to 2000 Litres with average of 1500
litres of water per kg production of finished sugar; which means 100 gm of
sugar takes 150 litres of water; 120 gm takes 180 litres of water, so for the
production of 1 litre of so called carbonated soft drinks it takes 182 litres
of water, with total consumption of
sugar by the so called carbonated per annum ranges anywhere between 4,00,000
metric tonnes, which translates into over 1100 billion litres of water; it is a
fact that the industry is estimate to grow at 28 to 30 percent per annum for
next 30 years, how far it is justifiable
to lose this much quantities of water, in addition losing health of millions of
people on account of excess of sugar due to consumption of the so called
carbonated soft drinks??
Government must
raise the cost of sugar to 5 times the normal cost of the sugar sold in the
open market for the manufacturers of so called carbonated drinks as a penalty
towards excessive water usage (direct and indirect), and at least 3 times the
cost of market cost to the other food product manufactures like bakeries,
biscuits etc. to ensure reduction of usage of the sugar in the larger interest
of people of the country for ensuring sustained inclusive growth, as it is a
fact that without fixing the root causes of health disorders as per estimates
at present conditions near about 5% people in the working age group are going
to die due to health disorders every year which will affect the GDP adversely;
also it is a fact that if the water is conserved by reducing the consumption
and production of the sugar, sugar cane, the same water can be used to produce
other crops (also it is necessary that crop rotation in the sugar cane fields
for better yields), and also the water can be used for various other manufacturing
process , which will further ensure increase in productivity and growth of GDP
and several times more contribution to the exchequer than the so called
carbonated drinks contributing to the exchequer, and also substantial reduction
in health care of the individuals will ensure health and happy living of the
people of the country. Alternatively
government may ban the manufacture of carbonated drinks in India and the
employees who are working in the industry can be adjusted in other industries
or new job opportunities in the service and manufacturing sector, in the larger
interest of the health of the people of INDIA, and for ensuring sustained
inclusive growth.
In this process,
government must aim at reducing the consumption levels of raw sugar at house
hols by resting the sale of sugar adhere to standards per family, For this
sugar rationing ensuring limited quantities of sugar, government must make it
mandatory that from production to retailer the entire chain should be online
real-time movement, every house hold must apply online the details of family,
government must have data of each house hold across the country, along with
voter Id / AADHAAR card no of the adult family members,, each house hold must
have unique ID number for their family, and where every they buy the sugar,
they must provide the unique id, in the sugar sale to get a special number on
the mobile , and submit the one time number for the quantity of purchase at any
retail store in India so that the total purchase is limited to only to 13 kg
per annum with equated monthly sale of 1.08 kg per adult male and 0.76 kg per
adult female, multiplied by total males and total females in the family, if
there is a diabetic in the family that sugar quota will get reduced
permanently; this measure will certainly reduce the consumption of raw processed
sugar in the house hold, and more sugar
will be available for export.
Also government
must ensure in less than a decade from now the entire production of sugar cane
in India must get converted to use only drip irrigation which will further
reduce the water consumption by 40 to 50 % of the total consumption at present;
in addition government must ensure more sugar production the state of Uttar
Pradesh/ north in the sub tropical climate even though there are more risk than
the tropical climate production of sugar in states like Maharashtra, as the sub
tropical climate production is more viable in spite of volatile extreme
conditions high temperatures and cold temperatures still it is economic and efficient
way of sugar production, as it take 50 % less water for almost same quantities
of production; as the average litres per hectare in Maharashtra is 187 lakh
litres per hector per season, where as in UP it is 57 lack litres per hector
per season, but the production per hector is 90 quintals per hector in
Maharashtra, and 57 quintals per hector in UP, but the water consumption per
hector is 2 lakh litres per tonne production in Maharashtra, where as it is one
Lakh litres per tonne production in UP
this is in the normal irrigation (for the same if drip is used the
consumption in Maharashtra by 1 lakh litres per tonne and in UP it s about
50,000 litres per tonne); Also government must pursue with both state
governments of Maharashtra, UP and the sugar cane farmers, the sugar mills, the
distillers in both states and if the
famers, mill owners can swift their base from Maharashtra to UP , if the state
of UP can accommodate the sugar cane famers; the existing sugar cane lands in
Maharashtra can be used for other crops so that there won’t be any effect on
the farm works, also since the sugar mills
are shifting, majority of the workers in sugar mills in Maharashtra can
shift to UP, this measure will ensure over all development of both states and
also the country.
89)
MANDATORY
INCULCATION OF HABIT OF CONSUMING MORE WATER TO CHILDREN, STUDENTS, ALL AGE
GROUP PEOPLE FOR ENSURING HEALTHY LIFE
It is a fact that 70 % of human body is made of fluids
that carry the energy to every part of the body, the more the fluids in the
body the more the better metabolism, the better release of energy, the better
blood circulation and better function of entire body, but strangely most of the
people do not consume even minimum required quantities of water, more over most
of the youth consume lot of ready to eat fried foods, oily foods, which require
even more water, in addition they consume more carbon aerated drinks; this is
the main reason for several health disorders in the people, As such it is
necessary that from the very childhood onwards
children should be thought about need for drining required quantities of
pure water, inculcated the habit of drinking more water in the form of pure
water. As more water will not only relives thirst, but also it maintains body
temperatures optimal, thus ensures brain functions effectively, thus all organs
functions effectively making people live healthy.
90)
CONCLUSION
Since the
population is on the rise and demand water water is on the rise and need to use
the existing water recourses optimally, government must ensure stringent
measures are adopted from now onwards to ensure in the nearby future people
will not be starved for water, in the process is to ensure free flow of water
in the water bodies and also ensure abundant rain fall in the catchment area
through reduction of climatic temperatures through reduced pollutions/global
warming effects, also ensuring more greenery, and best methods of transport in
addition to applying weather modification techniques to ensure more rain water,
along with preserving the rain water in best possible manner, in addition
utilisation of waste water by recycling to the maximum possible extent.
As it is a fact
that rapid urbanisation is happening and by 2050 near about 50 % population in
the country live in urban areas and water supply is a big issue; since
municipal water is not adequate, also not quality due to contaminations due to
often mix with sewer lines also the ground water is very meagre, and the taker
water is only for domestic use not for consumption as the source is not known,
in addition it requires purification for consumption, as such majority of the
population are depending at present on the so called Bottled water, with
industry production of 25 to 30 % growth of bottled water industry in India, to
begin with making it mandatory to use of only river/harvested Rain /
desalinated Water for Manufacture of Bottled Mineral Water & Beverages, which will save billions of
litres of fresh water, which otherwise are sourced from the municipal water or
from the ground water; the conserved fresh water is used for other purposes
like residential or commercial, in addition to reduction of load on the ground
water as well as tanker water, thus reducing the pollution levels thus better
natural rain water.
So by making all
bottled water manufacturers, all beverages manufactures mandatorily source water directly from the rivers or create own
rain water harvesting and use rain water, or use of desalinated water will save
billions of water; in addition government making it mandatory that at
least 50 % sale of beverages in
INDIA should be using desalinated water further
forces the bulk water users for bottled water and beverages manufactures to
establish their plants in the sea costs,
along with desalinated plants to reduce the load on the other sources of
water; also government providing incentives for the establishment of
desalination plants will further encourage desalination plants by not only for
use of water in the captive consumption, but also the private invests in
establishing the desalination water plants to supply the desalinated water to
the government in the manner of private investment in extraction of oil and
natural gas, also making it mandatory that all the costal districts must supply
municipal water with minimum of 25 % of the quantity of water sourced from
desalination, will further reduce the load on the river water supply, and the
conserved river water can be best used in the land locked districts/ cities.
In order to reduce
the environmental pollution occurring due to non recycling of billions of small
water bottles making it Mandatory for
purchase of small Mineral Water Bottles (100 ml, 200 ml, 500 ml, 750 ml
and 1000 ml) to Pay Deposit for Purchase
of First Bottle & Return Empty Bottle for Refund/ Second Purchase at Normal
Cost of any Brand, Any Where in India for Ensuring Total Recycling of Used
Bottles, for this Creation of Bring Banks will further ensure more waste get
recycled in a systematic manner, with reduction of litter on the streets, in
dust bins, with less contamination of soil, water bodies; the establishment of
‘Bring Banks’ Village/Ward Wise Jointly by Manufacturers to Collect Empty
Bottles & All Recyclable Items will further generate employment to millions
of people and reduces the cost of production of some of the non food grade
items, as most of the items raw martial cost get cheaper; as it was obtained
from the recycled, recovered material at nominal price; in order to ensure
prevention of un authorised manufacturing, sale of the bottled water, and also
to ensure the system of return of used bottles after paying the first bottle
deposit work effectively, making it mandatory Bar Coding of Bottled Water with
Mandatory Display on Internet the Quantities Manufactured, Stock with each Sale
Point & Display of Execution of Sale Online Real Time of every Bottle Sale
will help in ensuring effective implementation to reduce the use of fresh
water, reduce discharge of effluents, reduce duplicate and contrabands
circulations, improves quality of bottled water; more profits for the
manufacturers due to organised detailed sale.
Also with mandatory
to Installation of RO Water Plants in All Apartments, Gated Communities &
in RAW with Capacity Equivalent to 20 Litres Per Day Per Household, which
should be supplied free of cost; in
addition making it mandatory Establish Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water Plants (By
Government & Private) in all Educational Institutions, Office
Establishments, Commercial Complexes, Market Yards, in Fuel Stations, Bus /
Railway Stations, At All Bank ATM's, All Major Post Offices, All Wards &
Villages to ensure Safe Drinking Water available free of cost to All Sections of People, Especially
Downtrodden Hard Labour, Farmers & Farm Workers,; in addition providing RO
water free of cost for the downtrodden people BPL families in the wards/
villages and at cost to cost to the low income group and and others at marginal
cost by supplying the RO water door to door by the Municipalities will further
reduce use of bottled water in addition improves the health of the millions of
down trodden people who do not have access to safe drinking water; in addition
ban on Use of Packaged/Bottled Mineral Water in all Commercial/Office
Establishments with More than 5 Employees and also in all Mass Gathering
Functions like Marriages etc will further reduce the use of bottled water, will
further saves billions of litres water, they can use the RO water supplied at
nominal cost by the municipalities to the people living in Independent houses
who do not have provision for RO water, ensures more people has access to safe
drinking water; in addition supply of packaged bulk bottles by municipalities
to all those commercial establishments & shops with less than 5 employees
who do not have access to RO water will ensure even all employees get access to
safe drinking water; Also mandatory on the part of the employer to supply RO
water to the staff/ workers working onsite in the construction and other
activities will further ensure that all sections of people have access to RO
water.
Also making the RO
waste water collected to use mandatorily in the fire engines and also in
vehicle service stations, which was supplied
at concessional rate than the fresh rate, else the vehicles has to go
for dry wash only, otherwise has to pay
additional charges for using fresh water will certainly make the vehicle
service stations adopt use of waste water further reduce the fresh water
consumption to a large extent as millions of vehicles serviced every with water
of the total vehicle population of over 120 million in India; in addition the
waste water generated from the RO water plants used for cleaning the common
areas, cleaning Kitchen utensils will further saves billions of fresh water;
this measure further reduces the use of bottled water.
Also by ensuring
accountability of usage of water by all sections of people for all purposes all
types of water making it Mandatory to
fix Water Meters for Every Type of Water Use (Municipal, Ground, River Water,
Grey), making the data Online the
Quantities of use, the Source,
the Nature of Water (Fresh, Recycled), in addition mandatory
Monthly Water Audit for Usage by Individual House, Apartment, Gated Community,
Commercial Users, Agriculture for ensuring Working/Functioning by taking the
water meter reading every month like electricity meter reading, in addition
calibration of Water Meters, done once in three months, along with making it
mandatory that all usage Charges Paid Online Bank Transaction will further
ensure accountability of use of water further increases the responsibility on
individuals judiciously as they have to pay for the used water; will further
reduce the demand for fresh water.
Also by Fixing the
upper Limit of Water Usage to 1000 litres pay or 30,000 litres per month by a
house hold of 4 in urban areas for residential users, also similarly setting
limit for all other users of every Type,
Additional Cost for Water Usage Above Fixed Limit will further reduce the use of
water; in addition mandatory periodic maintainance of the pipes, plumbing
systems storage tanks further reduce the leaks and saves water, also periodic
maintainance of home appliances like washing machines, dish washers home RO
water systems etc will ensure further saving of water; also Government
providing Tax concessions for Water Conservation Equipment Pressurised Water
Cleaners for Vehicles & Gardening, Bio Toilets, Water Conserving Toilets
Flush Systems, Automatic Sensor Based Water Dispenser Taps will further ensure
water is conserved, by reducing the using of excess water for cleaning the
personal vehicles, floors, etc also in the wetting lawns, in addition the
automated tap dispensers will reduce the running tap water from the sinks in residential, commercial places thus saving
billions of litres of water.
Also levy of luxury
tax on the water used in the swimming pools with mandatory to register swimming
pool with government, with periodic maintainance of swimming pools and data of
date of use/ discharge of swimming pool water; in addition levy of Luxury Tax
for Swimming Pools in RWA, Gated Communities & in Hotels, will further
reduce the construction, & use of
swimming pools, instead they use the public swimming pools created by the government
by paying the user charges will further reduce the fresh water demand, also luxury
tax on bath tubs in the residential use further reduces the use of large quantities
of water.
Also making it
mandatory that All bore wells register
with government with the depth of the bore well rigged, the capacity of motor
used to lift the water, the source of power, along with mandatory
accountability of use of quantities of bore water by fixing the water meters on
the bore well discharge points to quantify the use of ground water; also
government levying fixed charges for bore well water will further ensure
judicious use of bore well water; Also to further accountability & preserve
the ground water through restricting the use of ground water by imposing Ban on Ground Water use by the Bulk Users
with more than 60,000 lit of Water per month or Above Rs 10 Lakhs Turnover per
annum, Ban on Municipal Water Use by Bulk Users more than 60,000 Litres per
month and less than 2,00,000 litres per month or Rs 1 Cr turnover per annum
with mandatory to use only River Water directly sourced or Harvested Rain
Water, or Desalinated Water, will ensure more ground water available for
residential uses.
Also further fixing the optimal limit of usage of water
for cultivation by the farmers who are sourcing water from rivers or ground
water by fixing the Water use Limit for Farmers Based on Type of Soil, Type of
Crop, Season at Nominal Rate, Beyond optimum use, Water Charges on Additional
Quantities; also government providing incentives for adopting the drip
irrigation system, the sprinkler system, the mulching system etc where ever
possible in addition making it mandatory that all Horticulture crops should be
raised Using drip irrigation system will further reduce the demand for ground
water and cannel river water; Also government levy of additional cost for the
use of excess water above the optimal limit will further ensure judicious use
of the water by farmers for best output; Also levy of commercial Water Usage
Charges For all Commercial Cultivation by Corporate farming, Contract Farming
for captive consumption by the manufacturers for food processing or for the
open market sale of raw material, be levied / charged at double the rate than
the normal water rate will ensure all the corporate will adopt all water
conserving techniques, use less water consuming verity seeds; this measure will
further reduce the demand for fresh water.
Also in order to
ensure the private water suppliers who supply the water by tankers source the
water from the rivers/ permitted limit from the ground water source and pay
taxes for the water supplied, by making it mandatory for All Private Water
Supplying Enterprises to Register with Government, Private Water Tankers must
be Equipped with GPS & Water Meter at the discharge Discharge Outlet and making the data of
supply online real time up date; along with certified for quality of water and
source of water for ethical sourcing of water, along with mandatory government
control supply of private water tanker by making it mandatory ordering of water
tanker through government website and government supply tanker water from among
the registered private water tanker suppliers with advance online payment from
the user through mobile cash or bank transaction with booking using the
municipal water connection number further ensures all water is accounted for
(virtually reducing the private water supplier just providers of transport from
source to the user), Also supply of tanker water by observing the GPS position
of the source, and end user with optimal route, minim distance and minimum time
of travel will further reduce the
pollution caused by the private water tankers; also making it mandatory that
all the water tankers (government, private,
carrying fresh water, waste water from RO units or gray water or the bottled
water supplied by the manufacturers) in future must be operated only through
CNG will further reduce the air pollution due water transportation ; Also
Uniform Fixed Rate for Quantity of Water supplied by tanker water with the
variable cost of transportation depending up on the distance travelled from
source to delivery point, also cost depends up on the urgency of requirement to
ensure optimal use of the water tanker
with making it a non bail able criminal offence to Supply tanker water
or Buy tanker water without online registering
& not ordering from the government, supplying Illegally, or Paying
Cash for the tanker water; all measures further ensures judicious use of water.
Also government
itself making the weather modification, in addition incentives for private
investment from the industrial associations and manufacturing units of that
consume large quantities of water
(direct and indirect, by way of consuming the raw material which consumes bulk
water for creation of that raw material like sugar, cotton, carbonated drink
manufacturers etc), for weather
modification/ cloud seeding to ensure more rain fall in the river catchment
areas, also in the private catchment areas where the natural earth dam pits are
create by the bulk water users for storage of rain water, also government using
the MNREGA workers to create huge earth storage pits for conserving the rain
water in the large rain fail areas; in addition making it mandatory that all
the residential, commercial, industrial building must have rain water
conserving storage tanks, either underground or
over the ground with the storage capacity not less than the average rain
fall in that built up area, in that territory to preserve the rain water for
future use (at least for few months after rainy season), to reduce the load on
the municipal water and also on the ground water, by using the rain water for
washing clothes being considered as soft water which also takes less detergents
to clean the dirt thus less rinsing required, as there is no dissolved
chemicals as was part of ground water or no bleaching agents as was in the
municipal water.
Also adopting the
measures to reduce the vehicular pollution to reduce the global warming, to
ensure better rain, also for pure rain,
by making limited commercialisation of personal passenger vehicles to
utilise existing empty space optimally (for four persons in a self driven car,
one person in a two wheeler), to reduce the traffic density on the roads; in
addition to further reduce the vehicular pollution using the systems of mass
transport of goods vehicles to reduce the total travel distance, especially
transporting the goods from manufactures near to the sea port locations to
other destinations which are near to sea ports along the coast line of India, which
will reduce the travel distance by road substantially, as one ship can carry
near over 800 to 1000 trucks and consumes less than 20 % of the total fuel
consumed by the 1000 trucks; by this way substantial amount of fuel and
pollution can be reduced, in addition to reduction in transportation cost of
the goods, all resulting in reduced pollution;
In addition through creation of railway sidings near the vicinity
of all major Agriculture Markets &
All Major Manufacturing Units in the Land locked Districts to reduce the
Transportation of Goods by Road; All measures to reduce Air pollution ensuring
Better Rain, Pure Rain, harvest rain Water
For use in Multiple Ways; in addition this measure improves the inter
district, interstate trade, ensure more profits for the farmers and less cost
for the consumers by way of reduction of middle men.
Also government
making it mandatory use of 50 % of the grey water generated by the independent
houses, apartments, gated communities and RWA, hotels, hostels to be recycled
for use in the toilet flush systems and the gardens (non food grade plants) by
establishing the grey water recycling systems in their homes, commercial
establishment, government providing one time incentives will save billions of
litres of fresh water from turning into black as out of total use of household
fresh water about 10 to 30 % of water is used for toilets flushing, Since India
being the diabetic capital of the world with more number of diabetic patients,
and the number is raising, the water use
in the toilets is high, so by recycling the used water generated from the bath
rooms and the washing machines or washing clothes recycling will reduce the
demand for for fresh water to the tune of 10 % minimum to a maximum 30 % in
various household, which itself is saves lot of fresh water; in addition
imposing fine of 20% on the total water bill, for fresh water usage without the
recycling system in independent houses and apartments, gated communities,
hotels, ensure every household use the grey water recycling at least 50 % of
the total grey water generated, as in the normal house hold the grey water
generated is around 30 to 40% of the total water use, and remaining 30 to 40%
of dark water generated from the kitchens and dish washers ad surface cleaning
water, which will not be of used for recycling, unless treated (recommend for
drought prone areas to treat and use for gardening, toilet flushing). Also
using the excess grey water generated from the residential habitations, hotels
to be collected and used to pump the grey water to be used in public toilets mandatorily
which will further saves billions of fresh water as the public toilets in the commercial
complexes, market yards, bus stations, railway
stations, air ports, cinema halls, parks, exhibitions, sports complexes/
stadiums etc which has billions of foot prints per annum, in the toilets; the
use of grey water saves billion of litres
of fresh water from becoming into unusable black water.
In addition
government regulating the use of chemical detergents with are not only
consuming more water to rinse and also causing the serious health hazards in
case not rinsed properly due to shortage of water, in addition to causing
health hazards while using with bare hand and exposing to bare feet while washing
manually, and government making it mandatory for all detergent manufactures
to specify the components used, the side effects of chemicals on the humans
and environment, and classification of range of detergents and surface cleaners
as per the effects on health and environment will further ensure judicious use
of detergents, leading to reduced water consumption; also government providing
incentives for manufacture of bio organic detergents and dish washer and the
surface cleaners and definitive time period to phase out chemical detergents
will further save billions of litres of water due the fact the organic bio
detergents consume less water for washing clothes due to less water for
rinsing. in addition saves water bodies from contamination, reduce the grey
water from bath rooms from turning to dark water due to the chemicals present
in the detergents when used for washing by hands or in the machines making the
grey water un usable for other than just toilets flush.
Also making it
mandatory for the laundry service providers, and bulk users of detergents like
restaurants, etc to use only bio detergents will not only save lot of fresh
water but also saves the environment and health; also government supplying at
concessional rate the harvested rain for commercial laundries, and also
government provide incentives for rain water harvesting for the bulk water
users like laundry water saves billions of litres of fresh water.
Also government
Streamlining Use of Acids, with Ban on use of Acids for residential and
commercial purposes will improve the quality of the grey water generated from
the residential and commercial bath rooms, as grey water mixed with acids is
unsuitable for circulation and use for gardening, even it is un safe to use in the flush tanks for long
periods; in addition to saving the life of the flooring & tiles of the building; further ensure
Better Recyclable Grey water generated; Also Streamlining Use of Distilled
Water In Batteries of Vehicles & in Power Inverters, as most of the urban
population uses the power inverters which consume the distilled water, and
there is lack of systems to safe disposals of used distilled water containers
causing serious health hazards in addition to making the grey water
unusable so by making Only Authorised
Service Agents can procure & Use,
Ensuring Safe Use & Disposal, in addition creation of more
employment in an organised way; Also
Streamlining Use of Paints for Residential, Commercial Building, To Reduce
Contamination of Fresh & Grey Water, as every day millions of litres of
paint is used with at least 5 % wastage and there is no safe disposal, paints
getting dumped into the water bodies or soil or sewerage lines; which can be
contend by regulating the sale of paints only to the register users, this measure
ensures optimal use of paint saving sustainable amounts for the employer ; this measure generated million
of employment.; Measures to Contain
Leakages of Transformer Oils to save lot of water from contamination through
Periodic Maintainance of Transformers to minimize failures to the barest
minimum levels, the failures are mostly due to leakage of transformer oil, with
millions of transformers stationed across the country using millions of lifters
of transformer oils, also continuous
monitoring the health of the transformers ensuring the up time by 99.9 %
will not only reduce the contamination of water but also improves the
efficiency of motors, and water pumps and better water delivery.
Also reduction of
contamination of water bodies directly and indirectly through decomposition in
the soil the used sanitary napkins & period clothes which account for over
300 million every month most of the water bodies are directly and indirect
creation by way of safe disposal for
the used sanitary napkins and used
periods cloths by installing the Exclusive Disposal Bins for Used Sanitary
Napkins/ Period Cloths in all Streets, Residential Habitations, Apartments,
RWA, Office Buildings, Railway Stations, Bus Stations to Prevent Soil, ensuring
the privacy of the disposer to protect the dignity of women, safe guarded,
in addition removal of these exclusive napkin collection bins every day
like removing bio medical waste, and
sanitisation of the bins area will further reduce the contamination of water
and reduction of health risks for People in Habitations & also for Sewerage
Cleaning Workers, Also government
further ensuring all women in India use the sanitary napkins by providing
/Supplying Low Cost Sanitary Napkins for
all Adult Girls & Women Free/ Subsidised Cost to ensure Hygienic &
Health care for the individual girl
child and the women in addition to make the disposal more organised way with
less contamination, this measure also wipe out the NATIONAL SHAME as till date
more than 95 % India do not have access to hygienic sanitary napkins.
Also mandatory
periodic maintainance of sewerage system
in all independent houses, apartments gated communities, in all RWA and in all
commercial complexes periodically ensures better circulation of water, no
stagnation of water, chances of contamination with fresh water gets reduced, in
addition periodic maintainance of the fresh water supply and sewerage pipes
ensuring no amounts of solids enter the sewerage lines will further reduce
chances of contamination, as the leaks in the pipes and sewers causing huge
loss of fresh water; also mandatory to use only trained sewerage workers who
are register with government, providing safety gears and training and online
booking of sewerage workers, mandatory monthly maintainance of seaware systems
in residential and commercial places,
online data of periodic maintainance of the sewerage works will further
reduce chances of breakdown of sewage system, contain to a great extent the
over flowing during the rainy season, in addition to saving thousands of lives
of sewerage workers who otherwise are
dying every year, with daily 3 to 5 n the spot and annually 25000 prematurely
at a young age much less than the average life; Also ban on the rising of
plants in the black waters, especially the green leafy vegetables, along with
mandatory to raise kitchen gardening by the habitations on the free terrace and
open space in residential places and in the office establishments in verticals,
ensuring people in the habitations especially in the urban habitations get
fresh leafy vegetables for healthy living grown in their own terraces/ garden
using the stored rain water will ensure best use of rain water and also the
waste water from the RO water plants, day.
In Addition taking
measures for Safe Disposal of Dead Animals With Last Rituals in designated
locations, further reduces the contamination of water, by way of creation of
exclusive slaughter places in the Mandal/ block to ensure safe disposal of the
animal slaughter remains, in the absence of this as of now everyone cutting the
animal (hen & goat etc ) for meat by people at their homes or in the local temples and
discarding the remains in the nearby area causing severe contamination of soil
and water bodies in the event of rain fall, which can be contained by making it
mandatory for animal owners to register animal with government get a unique id
for the animal with mandatory RFID tags internal for small animals or external
tags for the lager animals mandatorily; which can be tracked; also government
do RFID tagging for stray animals along with making it mandatory to take online
permission from government for cutting
any animal for meat or to report the death of the animal or discarding the
ailing animal will reduce the contamination of water bodies and soils and
prevent the spread of diseases, Also ban
on sale of frozen meat, also sale of non vegetarian only in exclusive non
vegetarian markets further ensures safe
disposal of the meat remains, in addition organised way of slaughter by trained
people will create millions jobs, also organised way of disposal of the dead
animals will further ensure organised employment for the people who dispose the
dead animals in addition the safety and security of the persons engaged in the
disposal in addition sanitisation of the area, in addition paying last rights
for animals especially the Holy Cows, in addition creation of tax free
donations for caring the animals will ensure more animals get salvation.
Also stream
Streamlining of Water usage for Religious Purposes to reduce the contamination
of water bodies due to large number of devotes visits the GHATS to taking part
in the rituals using water in a limited space, to reduce the severe health
risks for all those immersed, in addition to reduce deposition of non bio
degradable material, every wastes in the name of religion indiscriminately
dumped in waters causing clogging of water cannels and also to reduce environmental
damages, in addition to reduce abnormal
growth of bacteria in the water, to save aquatic life and also entire ecology;
so as a part of ensuring clean water
prevails for all religious purposes, by building Long Lengths of GHATS on River
Banks, with lengths of the GHATS Based on average Visit of People During
Auspicious Days with One Sft Area Per Person & Only Fixed Number of People
Per Year Allowed on Lottery System From Among Applied with complete Ban on
Pouring any Substances in Water Bodies as part of Religious Rituals ; in
addition permitting erection/ installation / establishment of Only One
Temporary Idol Installation per Village/ Ward on Lottery System from Among
Private Religious Associations will ensure the purity of water preserved by
containing billions of tonnes of religious material getting dumped into the
water bodies, in addition the rituals are performed with utmost satisfaction,
in addition creation of more employment opportunity due to long lengths of
GHATS and fixed place of GHAT to be visited by the devote. ; in addition making
it mandatory to use pressurised water cleaners at all religious places to clean
/ wash the premises with water saves billions of litres of fresh water getting
wasted, also mandatory to fix the hath facets to all the water taps meant for
washing the feet at religious places saves billions of litres of water, also
mandatory installation of automated water dispenser taps at the wash basins to
wash hands will further save billions of litres of water in addition it
ensuring hygienic and cleanliness to the persons who are using due to no touch
of tap opening by every other person who use tap in the conventional tap to
open the tap for water got avoided.
Government regulate
the construction of dams and projects on the rivers which are obstructing the
flow of water for the downstream by enacting
law for Creation of Federal Irrigation Authority to Issue Permission for
Construction of Dams in All States Using River Water, Sharing of River Water
Based on Population of Territory/ Cultivation along Flow of River Water; along with Geo mapping of Water Bodies, Cannels,
sewerage lines and Dismantling of
Encroachments to Prevent Water Logging, this causing flooding of the cities,
causing excessive damage to the property in addition contamination of water
bodies due to the dead animals and other wastes.
Also making it mandatory
for all manufactures to register with government, ward wise wise village
wise manufacturing units for Online
Information with Geo Mapping of Factories/ Industries Village Wise/Ward Wise, along
with information on Nature of
manufacture, total Quantities of Manufacture, Type of manufacture &
Quantities of use of water, quantities of waste generation, the ratio of raw material
to finished product weight; the quantities of Discharges/Emissions, details of
Effects on Ecology, Living Beings long with making it mandatory that all
Manufacturing units to Provide Online Real Time Live Web Casting of Process of
Treatment of Effluents Before Discharge & Display of Permissible Limits of
Discharge through Instruments Reading along with GEO information to the people;
in addition making all Vehicles Carrying
Effluent Slurry, Fluids equipped with mandatorily GPS tracking along with monitoring
with CC Cameras Fitted on Vehicles to ensure Discharge in the Designated
Locations Safely to Prevent Water Bodies, Soils from Contamination; In addition government making Periodic Testing of Water, Soil Health in the
Immediate Vicinity of Factories Which Discharges Effluents, Storage of Data for
Analysis also making the Employees Union Members responsible for not informing the discharge of
Untreated Effluents will further reduce the contamination of water bodies on
account of effluents discharge; also Mandatory Education of People in
Vicinities of the Factories for Possible Health Hazards due to Untreated Effluents,
Precautionary Health Care Measures, Act As Vigilant will further ensure the
manufactures adhere to the standards, in addition government providing the incentives
total recycle and ZERO emission industries will further reduce effluents
contaminating the water bodies.
Also stricter
implementation of measures to save billions of litres on account of reduction
of paper manufacture and usage (as one tonne of paper manufacture consumes about 1,50,000 litres of water on an
average, which means one kg of paper or paper box consumes about 150 litres of
water); by way of mandatory office internal communication using the computers
both in government and private, also all the legal agreements made online in
the special website created for this purpose by the government, in addition
submission of al court papers in the online electronic form, in addition
Reduction of Use of Writing & Printing Paper Through Adopting Measures to
Reuse Text Books, E-Text Books, E-Slates
for Writing in higher education; reduce the use of paper carton boxes
for delivery of the goods ordered online by the
customers by banning the e commence traders to use the paper carton
boxes, also banning the manufacturer of electronic goods to use reusable
polyethylene or plastic or nylon packs to pack the goods; also reducing the
advertisements in news papers restricting it to 25 % of the total value of the
advertisements to reduce the papers size, means saving of billions litres of
fresh water and also saving of billions of litres of effluents generation and
discharge into water bodies.
Also government taking
measures to reduce the sugar use &
production to save billions of litres of water (as one Kg of sugar
production takes about 1500 litres on an average) by way of rationing the sale
of sugar to individual household, ensuring every person in India consume only
the permitted limit of raw sugar, thus
reducing the per capta consumption, in addition Regulation Sugar Use in Carbonated Drinks, Concessionaries
by Enhancing Cost of Sugar for Commercial use 5 to 10 times normal cost of sugar to Reduce Use of Sugar
Ensuring Reduced Production of Sugar to Conserve of Billions of Litres of Fresh
Water.
Also educating the
people to ensure people consume more freshwater from the very child hood every
day to be healthy.
All Measures Ensure
Availability of Clean & Safe Water for Residential, Commercial, Industrial
& Agriculture Use For Healthy Living of All Sections of People, All
Animals, All Trees at All Times Through Sustained Environment Friendly
Development
