<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIn detail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Preliminary needs identification visits have been held with the Hospital\u2019s Dean, Administrative Head, Senior Heads of Departments, and the Public Works Department of the District\u2019s Municipal Corporation. The process of DEWATS and it\u2019s benefits have been briefed in detail to the Hospital. The Hospital has given full support for the project in writing. The Public Works Department has issued a no-objection for undertaking this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Local communities may be engaged at a later stage of the project for their feedback and opinion on water contamination by the hospital over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The block to be taken up will be based on assessments of water quality analysis, daily consumption of water by the hospital in liters per day, geological surveys of the ground and soil tests where the facility would be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project will involve technical consultation with qualified experts in DEWATS, Water and Sanitation and Civil engineering throughout the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project will also ensure adequate coordination and training with the Hospital staff on operation and maintenance of the DEWATs system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DEWATS is a biological wastewater treatment system which functions through natural and biological degradation of organics by anaerobic microorganisms. DEWATS technology is based on the principles of \u201cnature based\u201d, \u201clow operation and maintenance cost\u201d, \u201cconstructed using locally available\u201d and functions \u201cwithout or less external energy inputs or mechanical devices\u201d. DEWATS modules are based on sedimentation, anaerobic digestion in suspension and in fixed beds, aerobic digestions and polishing treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This Project will undertake the installation of a waste water treatment system through the DEWATS approach for one CEMONC building. This would include setting up of a facility involving either prefabricated or concrete waste treatment chambers to treat the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Preliminary needs identification visits have been held with the Hospital\u2019s Dean, Administrative Head, Senior Heads of Departments, and the Public Works Department of the District\u2019s Municipal Corporation. The process of DEWATS and its benefits have been briefed in detail to the Hospital. The Hospital has given full support for the project in writing. The Public Works Department has issued a no-objection for undertaking this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project will include necessary assessments and water quality checks before and after implementation. The completed project will be inaugurated and handed over to the Government authorities for necessary operation and maintenance. Required training to the Government staff for sustainability will be given through the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The project also plans to engage with the students of the hospital, the Student\u2019s Green Club and the Group D grade of maintenance staff and train them on the DEWATStechnology. Adequate training and handholding for operation & maintenance will be provided through the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
