Proper Polymer System Selection results in Cleaner Water: The Appropriate Selection of Polymer and a Make-Down System Improves the Water Clarification Process and significantly reduces costs
By Del Williams, Technical Writer Based in Torrance, California To help comply with EPA wastewater regulations and reclaim valuable resources, chemical polymers are added to industrial clarifiers, settling ponds, and other wastewater equipment at various stages of treatment. These polymers promote flocculation, a process in which small particles clump together into larger particles called flocs, which settle to the bottom. The clarified water can then be discharged for re-use, disposal, or further treatment. The problem with this highly effective and economical method of removing suspended solids from wastewater is that…
Read MoreAddressing Water Scarcity Through River Interlinking
By Subhash Sethi, Chairman, SPML Infra Limited Water is the lifeblood of social and industrial progress, yet India faces a severe and escalating water crisis. Despite having 18% of the world’s population, the country possesses only 4% of global freshwater resources, leading to a significant water imbalance. This challenge is further intensifying due to rapid urbanization, continuous population growth, rising industrial expansion, and climate change events, which impact rainfall patterns and resulting in water scarcity. India is also the largest consumer of groundwater, extracting approximately 230 billion cubic meters annually.…
Read MoreTech’s Role in resolving Water Crisis
By Kanishka Chatterjee, Director & Head, The/Nudge Prize India grew from merely 51 million tons (Mt) of food grain production in 1950/51 to over 314 Mt in 2022- a sixfold increase in production. What led to this remarkable outcome was the shift to science-led agricultural development, planner’s vigour and the dedicated effort of millions of farmers. This transformed India from an acutely food-scarce and food shortage nation to a food surplus and food exporting country. However, these accomplishments came at a price- trading in water security, a resource even more…

By Utkarsh Bhargava, Consultant, Avalon Consulting India’s population grew rapidly after independence, putting immense pressure on the country food supply. Agricultural output did not increase at the same pace as population growth. Traditional farming methods were outdated, with minimal use of technology, leading to poor crop yields. Most farming was dependent on rainfall, and infrastructure for irrigation, fertilizers, and pesticides was inadequate. As a result, India faced severe food shortages and had to rely heavily on food imports. Famines, malnutrition, and low agricultural productivity made the country vulnerable to recurring…
