rainwater Harvest
The environmental benefits to rainwater collection include a reduction in municipal water use, maintain the water cycle & reduce flooding.
Bore Wells
Bore water is environmentally friendly because it is the natural way of recycling rainwater. Much of the rain water soaks into the ground to be available for water bore to pump onto the garden. Rain water is directed through channels to soak wells and then to the groundwater
Waste Water Treatment
This includes water and air purification, sewage treatment, environmental remediation, and waste management thereby ushering in sustainable, ecological and environmental approaches in wastewater treatment
Effluent Treatment plant
Effluent is sewage that has been treated in a septic tank or sewage treatment plant. The effluent treatment facility is installed for biological treatment of the effluents. The effluent bears large amounts of organic matter.
BIO-conversion
Bioconversion, also known as biotransformation, is the conversion of organic materials, such as plant or animal waste, into usable products or energy sources
