Eco India: How Bengaluru's citizens are working towards making it water positive

Every week, Eco India brings you stories that inspire you to build a cleaner, greener and better tomorrow.
Despite being a planet made up of 97% water, only 3% of this is potable. Conserving this water, and finding ways of reusing and recycling it is the need of the hour. Some promising initiatives in Bengaluru are already working on this.

    Eco India series is the best. I think I just binge watched 9-10 episodes. Half glass full concept really sounds efficient. Am a Non Resident Indian, I don’t know the guys behind Eco India and other such NGOs striving for change in my homeland when it comes to water, sand, forests, solar, C&D recycling & many such long neglected areas. As a nature lover and a gardener myself, I deeply appreciate your work and honestly pray that you succeed and your trees bear plenty of fruits.

    RO water filter rejects three times the water it filters for drinking. Collection of rejected water and reuse for flushing toilets or water house plants can go a long way in saving water too. BTW google faucet with toilet flush, where in you have hand wash water collected from faucet into toilet flush, i think I have seen it in video about Japanese household.

    During 2016 floods in Chennai, we stayed in the 2nd floor of our building, as ours in the ground floor was flooded. No electricity, no drinking water and rain was not ending even after 5 days. I collected water by tying towels to the window grils and collected the water. I even distributed this water to my neighbours. Since Then I dont fail to collect rain water In the water cans. I have got some plumbing work done to let in water from rooftop into my house for easy collection.. We haven't bought bottled water and The stored water has lasted for nearly six months. We used it only for drinking purpose after boiling. When it rained, I kept buckets with clothes to be washed outside. Amazingly, the clothes looked bright, fresh and clean much better than normal washing.

    We don’t get a glass of water anymore in a restaurant without asking. Not only is that water used, the glass has to be washed in water as well. A big water saver is to install a tankless hot water heater. These do not require letting the cold water run to get to the hot water. If you live in a rural or off grid situation you can modify the tankless hot water heater or purchase one for off grid use. Get a tankless hot water heater with a shower attachment, buy a 30 psi. aquarium water pump, get two alligator clips, one lawn mower or car battery. Attach the clips to the red and black water pump wires. Attach this to the positive, red and negative battery posts. If you have running water screw in the water hose to the heater. If not, buy some plastic line to fit the water pump. Then, get adapters to fit the plastic line to the heater connection. There should be a line that comes with the heater to attach to a 20 lb propane tank. Now, you will need two “D” size batteries. Get the good ones because the cheap ones won’t work. Place these inside the slot in the heater. This sparks the ignition. Also, if you don’t have running water, get a large bucket and place a plastic line from the aquarium pump into it. This can be used anywhere. I lived off grid for four years and I was able to take a nice hot shower every day. CAUTION IF YOU USE THE BUCKET WITH WATER TURN THE HEAT TO THE LOWEST SETTING OR THE WATER WILL SCALD YOU!!!!!!!! Enjoy A 20 pound propane tank will last about three months with one person taking a shower every day.
