ZLD (zero liquid discharge): A life saving initiative

Everyone knows the importance of water. Because thirst can kill. But then we tend to use it recklessly just as the smokers smoke knowing it's repercussions.

I won't go on to elaborate the stastistics as frequent news of death tolls serves adequately as an alarm for not too much of it is left for drinking.

With saving water campaigns falling flat the situation seems even worse. To this very problem has come a solution which ensures zero water discharge i.e. the system eliminates solid and wastes dissolved in the given liquid and yields distilled water in the process. The system is called Zero liquid discharge abbreviated as 'ZLD'.

With numerous recycling processes already in work what gives this process an edge over the rest is it's higher efficacy. For instance, for the first time in India this system is being deployed in jamshedpur, a small city in the state of jharkhand known for it's sprawling steel industries as well state of the art civic management system for which it's been lauded in the past. The city has a private municipality JUSCO(Jamshedpur utility and service corporation limited) which has been relentlessly working towards making life of the people of the city as comfortable, modern and healthy as possible. The JUSCO in this effort has taken a new step by incorporating ZLD which is likely to start working by the end of this year. "We will be processing waste and sewage water and the system is expected to yield 40 million water per day for industrial use" said the DGM(water management) of JUSCO.

This is the high time the rest of the states should take away the best from this experiment and do their part in saving as much of water as possible as the potable amount of it is limited and believe me it's too less to serve the coming generation.

Right to Internet access: a beginning as India soon to get an annual internet subscription for 100 rupee.

  Data Wind a Canadian company which caught the eye with it's  Aakash tablets selling at throwaway prices that came out of nowhere and jolted the Indian smartphone industry is all set for yet another foray in the telecom industry with it's plan to provide Internet service for 99 per annum.

   Suneet Tuli, CEO of the company said that it has already applied for VIRTUAL NETWORK OPERATOR licence and will soon be able to take this service to every nook and cranny of the country. "We are primarily focused towards making internet available to the 100 crore rural population of India who still don't have access to it owing to the skyrocketing costs of data. Furthermore, we will be using existing infrastructure and thus reducing installation cost. Also, it usually takes about 1-2 minutes for a page to load on  a regular 2g network whereas our patented technology is capable of loading it in 6-7 sec. a considerable edge over the former" he added.

  VNOs (virtual network operrators) are retailers of telecom services who buy bulk minutes from telecom operators and sell them under a different brand. They don't own any network.

    Guys, This could well be seen as the beginning of a much needed change in the Indian telecom industry challenging the unabashed and wilful market trend set by the existing Indian telecom companies and therefore would surely create price rigidity. 
   
  Also, this is the advent of right to internet access in India and that we should welcome this initiative wholeheartedly taking into account the revolutionary catalysis this technology could trigger as it's been seen in countries like Sweden and Estonia.

  Yeah I know! What's going on in your mind. When can we leverage? right?

   Guys, we are gonna have to wait until the end of this year.
