Boson Whitewater, a water utility company, has partnered with Biome Environmental Trust for an indirect potable water reuse project through managed aquifer recharge at Devanahalli, Bengaluru.
The project produces 6.4 lakhs litres of potable drinking water per day. It is energy-efficient using just 0.25 units of electricity per 1,000 litres.
Several organisations like Carl Zeiss, Rotary South Parade Bangalore and the Wipro Foundation are partnering with the company in this project.
The project is part of a broader effort to rejuvenate 65 lakes in Bengaluru by using treated wastewater and rainwater.Vishwanath S, advisor, Biome Environmental Trust said,“The project has the capacity to meet Devanahalli’s 5.4 million litres per day water demand. In Phase 1, a water treatment plant was installed to provide 240 kilo litres (KL) of water daily. In Phase 2, the project expanded with the addition of four more filter borewells, a reconstructed 60 KL sump, and a new 400 KLD water treatment plant. The system now delivers 640 KL of water daily, benefiting the Devanahalli residents.”
