Mangalore Today News Network

Mangaluru, June 20 2018: Social activist M G Hegde has said that he  has initiated a  social  concern challenge on ’Reuse of Water’  and has requested citizens to accept the challenge and take it forward.

Speaking to reporters here on June 20, Wednesday, Hegde said  keeping in mind the need to conserve water and the likely scarcity of water during summer, he has initiated a project wherein  waste water from the kitchen and bathroom   could be reused for flushing toilet and  for garden purposes. He said a tank was specially built for the purpose with a  mechanism to filter the water.  The water from the kitchen  and bathroom  is thus recycled to flush toilets and for gardening  in the process saving 40% water.

He said he spent Rs 35,000 for the same and added that the cost could be reduced with  expert advice. Hegde  also  said he was passing this social concern challenge to the DC, ZP CEO, MPs and MLAs  of the district and  MLCs, Farooq, Ivan D’Souza and Harish Kumar and hoped for a revolution in this regard.
