    Description
    Description
    Our Commitment in Support Of UN SDG Goal 4 is focused on Sustainable management of water. The world is facing the water crises; many rural and remote areas don't even have access to wastewater. our Goal is to reuse the wastewater wholly by 20230. The another aim of our goal is to support the local communities and spread awareness for using the water efficiently and Reusing the Treated water. The first objective is to make mater reuse for flushing by July, 2021.
    Expected Impact

    The Team of the water and wastewater treatment Experts has already been set up. The Research and development Teams has also been formed. The Sewage Treatment Plants of capacity 1.2 MLD has been installed in the Chitkara University, Rajpura Campus. The STP is designed based on the MBBR technology. Daily Monitoring Of wastewater will be done by water Science Lab of Chitkara University to Monitor the Pollution parameters. The new innovations Such as nano Bubble technology will be implemented to enhance the efficiency of plant. The main purpose is to make the water Fit for drinking by 2023.The 18 rain water pits are also been established to recharge the Ground water Levels.

    Capacity

    The team of consultants, engineers and Professors will help the local communities to establish the sewage Treatment plant. The R&D will be done by the professors and Experts of Chitkara University in water Science lab of Chitkara University to improve the quality of water. Our Mission is to reuse the waster water wholly. The treated water will be used in whole university campus for flushing and irrigation purposes by July 2021. This will reduce the demand of Fresh water.

    Governed

    This Project will be governed by the Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Pro Vice chancellor of Chitkara University and a Social Worker. The Special Team water and wastewater treatment Specialist has been Formed. The sampling of wastewater will be done on regular basis. The Pollution Parameters will be monitored. The teams of experts and professors of University will guide and spread Awareness to the local Communities to Improve the quality of wastewater.
