- 3. How to be an active citizen? We often get annoyed by the awful smell of open drains. This doesn’t only lead to disgusting smell but also lead to breeding of flies, bacteria, mosquitoes etc. This can then result as people falling sick with diseases like dengue, malaria etc. You should approach the municipality or the gram panchayat and inform them about this problem and insist them to cover all the drains. You should also spread awareness through your neighborhood about not wasting water as it’s a precious source. If the sewage of any particular house makes the neighborhood dirty. We should request them to be more considerate about other’s health.
- 4. This guy cleaned the whole lake alone When scientist Marino Morikawa learned that the Cascajo Wetlands (El Cascajo) he remembered from his childhood had gotten dramatically polluted, he gave up his research work in Japan and came back to Peru. When Marino saw the wetlands with his own eyes, 20 years after his last visit, it looked like “an oxidation pond.” Holding a PhD in Bio industrial Science, Marino used all his knowledge in water quality control to invent a new technology that could help him clean El Cascajo. He took his personal savings, borrowed money from several banks, and started his work on this technology that worked wonders.
- 5. Have you seen your mom throw tea leaves in the drains instead of dustbin? You know why not?
- 6. Better House Keeping Practices Things like oil, fats, tealeaves, solid food remains, cottons, sanitary towels etc. Should be thrown in dustbins and not in the drains as they choke the drain pipes. They don’t allow free flow of oxygen. This hampers the degradation process. Chemicals like paints, solvents, insecticides, motor oil , medicines etc. may kill the microbes that helps in purification of water.
- 8. Sanitisation and diseases Contaminated water and poor sanitation practices are the major causes of the large number of cases of waterborne disease. A very large economically defecate in the open, on dry river beige on railway tracks, near field and many a times directly in water bodies. Untreated human excreta is a health hazard which causes soil pollution and water pollution also. https://youtu.be/Ac_1--sMP6k
