Rising up in a water-starved space of Maharashtra, Abhijit Sathe needed to do one thing round water conservation. He based JalSevak which instals recycling programs in industrial buildings and households, serving to them reuse their greywater effectively.

Raised in a water-scarce space of Maharashtra, a 24-hour-long water provide was a dream for Abhijit Sathe, the founding father of JalSevak India. Rising up with a extreme water scarcity is likely one of the causes that led Abhijit on this path of water recycling. 

Day by day India produces 31 billion litres of gray water. Wastewater from non-toilet fixtures like sinks and showers, excluding sewage, appropriate for non-potable functions like irrigation is known as greywater.

In Indian households alone, greater than 50 % of the water used is gray water of which solely 5 % is recycled. 

Realising this situation and eager to make a distinction in how water waste is managed, he determined to stop his decade-long engineering profession. 

He began JalSevak India in an try to assist Indian households recycle their gray water. 

The corporate installs a recycling system in family and industrial buildings that recycles the gray water utilizing a six-step course of. This water can be utilized to water vegetation, landscaping and flushing in the bathroom.  

The system helps to avoid wasting as much as 40 % of freshwater through the use of recycled gray water. Abhijit has put in setups in 12 cities throughout the nation. Moreover, Abhijit claims that his system is 50 % cheaper than those accessible commercially. The corporate recycles 1.25 lakh litres of greywater daily! 

With a metropolis like Bengaluru affected by a water disaster this 12 months, such an innovation is perhaps what it must survive the disaster.
