IIM Kozhikode Runs on Rainwater Soil conservation has to go along with water conservation. Also, if more and more soil gets deposited in the catchment, it would reduce percolation and pose more problems & recurring work. Very few campuses situated in such conditions might have implemented such exhaustive erosion control measures. The institute also has sewage water treatment. When the campus strength is full, they get 50,000 litres of output from sewage. Treated water is utilized for irrigation. The population of the campus will go beyond 500 in near future. The daily requirement is expected to go up to 2 lakh litres per day, points out Rajiv Varma. He says that they might have to construct an additional pond to catch more rain. Given the level of interest and knowledge of RWH in government institutions, this IIM's achievement is really laudable. It is a model for other educational institutions and corporate houses. Students and faculty at IIM K are proud partners in the institute's conservation efforts. Concluded. Click here to post your views/ comments/ experince on this... Contributed by - |
