ZLD (zero liquid discharge): A life saving initiative

zero water discharge

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.
