THERE IS HOPE - REUSE EVERY DROP OF WATER THREE TIMES

        

REUSE EVERY DROP OF WATER THREE TIMES

POLLUTING OUR RE- SOURCES: 

We took our rivers for granted and misused them for dumping our domestic and industrial wastes. As a result of our carelessness. the once pure river of Ganga has now become an eye sore and a national problem. This story has been repeated with almost all of our rivers. These rivers meet the mighty Oceans & carry forward all they have collected into the once pristine oceans, now our dumping waters. 

FIRST POLLUTING & THEN CLEANING UP THE RESOURCE

We draw our raw water from these polluted rivers to treat it and make it fit for drinking. We also divert most of the water from these rivers to our dry lands for the purpose of irrigation. If the raw water is contaminated with lead, arsenic, mercury and other toxic elements the final products of potable water and food grains made from this water will be contaminated too. – Go figure it for yourself.

CLEANING UP THE POLLUTION:

The treatment of drinking water is a lengthy and costly process. The governments and big companies only, can spare the scarce capital for such large scale water treatment plants.   

WASTE CREATES SHORTAGE:

In short, clean drinking water is a scarce commodity now a days. So much in short supply that we have started bottling it in unhealthy plastic bottles and selling it at a price which is becoming beyond the reach of the common man.

On the other hand, our plumbing hardware designs and technology is so very out dated that we have no choice left but to flush our toilets with this clean drinking water too and pay the price of buying expensive water to drink. How can such an advanced society afford to over look this aspect?

 VICTIM OF OUR CIRCUMSTANCES:   

Majority of the public is in a big dilemma to go for the new toilets which use ultra low water amounts of water to flush or hang on to the old three / four-gallon water flushing toilets and off set the cost of not replacing them with high water bills every month. They choose the status quo and suffer with ever rising costs of clean water which is definitely becoming a scarce commodity.

SIMPLE SOLUTION TO THE COMPLEX PROBLEM : RETROFIT THE OLD & REDESIGN FOR THE NEW.

GREY WATER COLLECTION AND REUSE: FIRST OPTION.

The biggest onus lies with the designers & manufacturers, of our bath tubs & kitchen sinks systems. It is suggested to collect all the gray water from the kitchen and bath houses/tubs in a large plastic container with filtering facility for solids and reuse it for flushing, gardening, floor washing, car washing or other purposes. When this gray water is left overnight undisturbed the sediments will settle down and clear water can be pumped up with the help of a small Tulu pump. We are in a do or die situation, therefore choose consciously to CHANGE otherwise PERISH.

All big multi story buildings, Hotels, large complexes can easily adapt the above system of conserving water & reusing it to save the nation, their businesses & themselves.

REUSE & REUSE THE WATER THREE TIMES : SECOND OPTION

Use every drop of water three times before it is discarded into the sewage drains. Install portable plastic urinals in every home between the wash basins and the toilets. Divert the outlet of the wash basins into the urinals and the outlet of the urinals into the cistern tanks of the toilets. There are multiple bath rooms in every home, hence the emphases on plurals. These minor modifications can be done locally at very low costs, but the resultant savings will add up to huge numbers.

The new mantra is Pee, wash hands, & store up for flushing. Pee, wash hands, and store up.  Sacrifices have to be made, the earlier the better.

TOP PRIORITY FOR PUBLIC TOILETS

In public toilets the same arrangement of locating the wash basins at an elevated level, next lower level the urinals and finally at lowest levels the toilets and interconnecting them for a smooth flow, will work out to be extremely economical and successful. It is a win – win solution.

MANUFACTURERS DREAM

I am suggesting a COMPOSITE but very compact unit of wash basin cum redesigned twin toilet. The cistern tank becomes a sitting seat for peeing, while the normal toilet remains the usual seat for shitting. Close the lower seat, climb on to the higher seat for peeing. After peeing move on to the basin to wash your hands. This way you will collect enough urine & water from the basin to flush the shit when ever required.  Manufacturers must make available to the illiterate public just such water conserving  items.
