Decentralised Waste Water Treatment System (DEWATS)

Most of the cities in developing countries have no sewerage system. The world’s developing
cities not only face the challenge of supplying adequate sanitation facilities to its residents, but
must also ensure that the available water resources are not contaminated. The discharge of
uMVGR ntreated wastewater is a major contributor to deteriorating health conditions and
pollution of nearby water bodies. The problem is expected to increase due to rapid pace of urban
growth, unless measures are taken to control and treat effluents.

DEWATS complement conventional treatment systems for more sustainable and effective
service and provide treatment of waste of both domestic and industrial sources. DEWATS
applications are reliable, long lasting and tolerant towards inflow fluctuation and needs no
sophisticated maintenance.

In this institute, a Boys hostel is being constructed and is expected to be completed by

June,2018. The hostel is intended to accommodate 700 boys. A decentralized waste water
treatment plant with an installed capacity of 538.28 cubic meters is coming up in the Boys hostel
premises and an amount of Rs 1.00 Crore is being spent to bring the system into functionality.
The waste water after treatment is proposed to be utilized effectively for gardening purpose.
This will incidentally drastically reduce the usage of fresh water.

Supply of protected ( RO) water to Chintalavalasa village:

MVGR College of Engineering is located in Chintalavalasa village, an outskirt of Vizianagaram
town. The population of the village is around 3000 and there are about 700 permanent and semi-
permanent buildings in the village. The protected water supply scheme existing in the village is
not dependable. As a part of social responsibility the institute had taken up the cause of
supplying drinking water to the villagers from existing bores in the campus after subjecting the
water to RO process. The population in the village is being fed at the rate of 20 Liters of R.O.
treated water to meet the drinking water requirement and it is being implemented for the last one
year with a reasonable success.
