City Lake regains its prestigious grace

27 May

Residents to take care of the Puttenahalli Lake

The Puttenahalli Lake in JP Nagar sparkles with new hope. In 2008, where she was on the verge of drying out, thanks to Usha Rajagopalan and her friends, now she has enough water to show her sparkling grace and flora and fauna occupying the place that once used to be the dumping ground for bricks and debris.

The Puttenahalli Neighborhood Lake Improvement Trust (PNLIT) signed an MOU on May 17 with the BBMP to maintain Puttenahalli Lake. This makes them the first residents group of Bangalore to take charge of maintaining a lake.

It was in January 2008 that Usha Rajagopalan who lives in L&T South City, an apartment adjoining the lake joined hands with friends from her apartment and formed Save Our Lake, a team that first informed the MLA and the BBMP about the lake’s sad plight.

Usha, said – “I came to Bangalore in 2006. I used to look out of the window and see the disappearing lake. I knew we had to do something.” They approached MLA M Krishanppa and told him about the lake that was becoming a dumping ground for construction materials and garbage. After a while, the BBMP began the fencing work.

In June 2010, Usha and three others from Brigade Millennium — Arathi Manay, Prasanna K Vynatheya and O P Ramaswamy came together as the first trustees of the PNLIT, registered under the Trust Act of the Government of Karnataka. Now there are seven members in the trust.

Usha stated that – “The MOU covers the joint responsibilities for both the BBMP and the PNLIT. The BBMP are doing their part and so are we. The PNLIT group went ahead and started collected funds from the residents of the area. So far, the PNLIT has collected about one lakh rupees. They also planted 300 trees around the lake. PNLIT will pay the gardener and the sweeper to maintain and keep the area clean. The MOU makes provision for employing a security guard as well.”

The Chief Engineer of BBMP, Satish BV on the project –

Work is still going on in and around the lake. Phase I covered desalting, raising the side of the lake, constructing a 1.1 km walking track around the lake and building the outer fencing. Phase II that is under way has quite a lot of work.

He says “We are building a gazebo, toilet, security cabin, an inner fencing and also covering the open culvert.”

Further he adds “We want the people around the lake to be involved with it. Also, the Government might take a long time to implement certain measures because of the cumbersome processes. This joint effort is a much quicker way to deal with issues.”

What is left to be addressed is the interlinking of inlets to the Storm Water Drains (SWD). “There are already inlets. It’s a matter of connecting it to the SWD. Next week, I will visit the area with the Chief Engineer of the Bangalore Water Supply And Sewerage Board. We are planning to build an underground sewage system in the area,” points out Satish.

PNLIT has a website dedicated to informing the people about its activities. “We want people to know where their money is going,” signs off Usha.

PNLIT’s other initiatives

PNLIT is not only concerned about the lake. “It’s looking out for the betterment of the neighbourhood,” says Usha. They are planning to make specific interventions to boost the economy of the area, and to promote the small businesses there. When the ban on thin plastic bags was announced, some of the shops on Puttenahalli Road had approached PNLIT members for the supply of cloth bags.

That’s when the idea of making cloth bags came about. PNLIT has employed women from Puttenahalli to make cloth bags priced at Rs 15, Rs 20 and Rs 40, depending on the size. These bags are supplied to various shops in the area.

NGO to help BBMP in rejuvenating Bangalore Lake

The BBMP is planning to hand over a few lakes in the city to the Bangalore Chapter of United Way, an NGO. They have identified eleven lakes in areas like Peenya, KR Puram, ITPL, Whitefield, Hebbal, Yelahanka, Sarjapur Road and Electronic City. “The NGO will identify people in the locality who can take care of the lake,” says Satish B V, BBMP, Chief Engineer.

Four months ago, Chinnappanahalli Lake was handed over to Siemens Information Systems Ltd after an MOU was signed between the BBMP and Siemens Information Systems Ltd. “Ambalipura Lake on Sarjapur Road is also taken care of by the residents now,” notes Satish.

Ecobiopack high efficiency Sewage Treatment Plant

13 Apr

The Ecobiopack Sewage treatment system

Overflowing and untreated sewage is a common sight in many parts of Bangalore. A short ride away from Indiranagar a large number of layouts do not have underground drainage. Houses either build soak pits or let out the sewage into storm water drains. This eventually leads to pollution of ground water. Such is the case in this fast growing city where sewage lines are not provided a short distance away from the city centre all around. And with the growth of apartment complexes one can imagine the amount of water let out that is not being reused effectively.

Many apartments and gated communities that have come up on the periphery of Bangalore do not have Sewage Treatment Plants (STP’s), and some who do are based on the outdated Activated Sludge Process (ASP). This involves many tanks and blowers to pump in air. As expected it takes up a lot of space and is power intensive. Most importantly it requires constant supervision and maintenance to ensure it works properly. Hence the cost of treatment can be rather high.

Seeing the need for improving the existing sewage treatment process, Dr. Shirish Naik, a former professor at IIT Mumbai, developed an improved technology called the Rotating Media Bio-Reactor (RMBR). Though known in the west for several years, Dr. Naik reworked the technology to suit Indian conditions and took a patent for it. Dr. Naik is also well known for his innovations and developments in waste water treatment winning numerous international awards and citations.

Conventional ASP for sewage treatment works on the suspended growth method where the Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) or the waste material in the sewage which is suspended is treated by pumping air through a compressor thereby bringing in oxygen to treat the sewage. This requires a considerable amount of power which makes treatment costly. Moreover, ASP requires an aeration tank, settling tank, sludge holding tank and polishing tank. This requires a lot of space which is at a premium these days. ASP requires as well close monitoring and any power shutdown can affect the treatment process thereby causing unpleasant odour which is unhealthy.

In contrast, the RMBR works on the attached growth method where the MLSS attach itself to the media in the rotating drum which take in oxygen from the atmosphere in rotation thereby obviating the need for compressed air. The power requirements are less than a quarter of the ASP process while dramatically reducing the footprint of the entire plant to often one tenth. The huge saving in space alone often makes up the cost of the plant. For an apartment block of a hundred units for example it takes up just one car park. Being fully automated, it requires very little maintenance thereby further reducing the cost of treatment. The Ecobiopack as the product is named is a containerized, packaged, skid mounted system fully manufactured at the factory in Mumbai and can be operational on site in just two days.

Key advantages:

1. The most compact system available in the national and international market.
2. Short contact periods are required because of large active surface area.
3. RMBR are capable of handling a wide range of flows.
4. Sloughed bio-mass generally has good settling characteristics and can easily be separated from the waste stream.
5. Operating cost is low because little skill is required in plant operation.
6. Short retention times.
7. Low power requirements.
8. Elimination of the channelling to which conventional percolators are susceptible.
9. Low sludge production and excellent process control.
10. Soundless technologies with no occupational health hazards.
11. RMBR can accommodate microbial population of 5- 10 times that in an aeration tank hence it is more compact.
12. We can “see” the plant in operation right in our office by virtue of a camera and DVR system of e-connectivity.
13. The plant has a built-in odor removal system
14. The powder coated exterior has built in sound absorption pads to ensure a totally silent operation
15. Received Certificate of Excellence from a Pollution Control Board for 3 years in succession

Possibilities to reuse the water, apart from in house consumptive use for gardening and ground water recharging are:

• Sale of water to neighbouring farmers/industries
• Toilet flushing
• Ground water recharge
• Industrial use– floor washing, cooling water make up (after softening), raw material wash, quenching
• Construction– curing, concrete preparation
• Road washing
• Dust suppression
• Creation of Artificial lakes for recreation (loss of water by evaporation and seepage)

The Ecobiopack has been used by clients whose projects are cleared by Ministry of Environment and Forest, LEED Rates approved building from U.S. The system has been approved by British Deputy High Commission , Bechtel International Inc, R&D Section of the Indian army, Sahara, ,Hindalco, NIIT, SEBI, Bank of Baroda, Jet airways, Bestech and Babylon , Retreat Hotel Madh Island , Leela beach , MIMS Calicut, Central military engineering (CME) pune , Hiranadani, Raheja , ZAMBIA Varun Beverages, TATA, Aditya Birla, BITS, Eldeco town ,Sahara, Belarus, HDIL, Runwal Euphoria Pune, Emaar MGF, HDIL, etc. We have some > 250 Installation in and outside

Yoga and Sleep

01 Jul

Had a nice sleep last night??? Please go through this article…..
What are the five stages of sleep?
Your sleep is divided into 5 distinct ‘stages’, with each one serving a different purpose.
Four of them consist of non-REM (rapid eye movement/dream) sleep, and one is REM sleep – this is when you are dreaming.
You actually ‘cyle through’ all 5 stages of sleep several times (on average 4 – 6 times) each night, not always in the same order.




Here is a more detailed look at the the five stages of sleep -
Stage 1
This is a the lightest stage of sleep, the transition phase, where you feel yourself ‘drifting off’. If you were to forget about the alarm clock and allow yourself to wake up naturally, Stage 1 sleep would be the last stage before you would fully ‘wake up’.
You don’t spend too much time in Stage 1 sleep, maybe 5- 10 minutes or so, just enough to allow your body to slow down and your muscles to relax. However, it’s interesting to know that research has shown that people suffering from insomnia, may stay in Stage 1 sleep for considerably longer.

Stage 2
This stage of sleep is still considered light sleep, but now your brain activity starts to slow down some, and your heartrate and breathing become slower and more regular. Your body temperature falls a little and you’re beginning to reach a state of total relaxation in preparation for the deeper sleep to come.

Stage 3
This is the start of deep sleep (also known as slow wave sleep). Stages 3 & 4 are very similar, with no visible eye or muscle movement. If you were to get woken up suddenly during stage 3 or 4, you would be ‘groggy’ and confused, and find it difficult to focus at first. During stage 3, your brain waves are slow ‘delta waves’, although there may still be short bursts of faster waves of brain activity (also known as beta-waves) .

Stage 4
Of the five stages of sleep, this is the one when you experience your deepest sleep of the night. Your brain only shows delta-wave (slow wave) activity, and it’s pretty difficult to wake someone up when they’re in this stage.
It’s during Stage 4 sleep that children are most likely to suffer from bedwetting or sleep terrors. Stages 3 and 4 can last anywhere from 5 – 15 minutes each, but the first deep sleep of the night is more likely to be an hour or so. This is the time when the body does most of its’ repair work, and regeneration.
As we get older, we tend to spend less time in deep-sleep stages, perhaps there is a correlation here?

Stage 5
This is the stage when we find ourselves dreaming. Of the five stages of sleep, it’s the only REM stage (sometimes also called ‘active sleep’), and gets its’ name from the rapid eye movements that characterize this period. Your blood flow, breathing and brain activity increases, and an EEG would show that during REM sleep, your brain is about as active as it is when you’re awake!




Another aspect of REM sleep, is that the muscles in your arms and legs will go through periods of paralysis. Scientists speculate that this may be natures’ way of protecting us from acting out our dreams. The first period of REM sleep of the night usually begins around 90 minutes after you start drifting off, and lasts for about 10 minutes. As the night passes, the periods of REM sleep become longer, with the final episode lasting an hour or so.
Babies may spend as much as 50% of the time they’re asleep in the REM phase, for a healthy adult it is usually around 20 – 25%, and this then decreases with age.
Scientists and researchers are continually learning more about the mechanics and physiological effects of sleep, and what happens during the five stages of sleep.
Two of the most recent findings include the possibility of a link between REM sleep and depression, and an investigation about the effect REM sleep has on our ability to learn new tasks or retain new information.
Nevertheless to say, the only answer of a Quality sleep is the Yoga. Practicing Yoga can lead us to a very natural Quality sleep……..
