Setting up of Water treatment plants in Challuru and Veerareddipalli villages of Nalgonda district, Andhra Pradesh, India - 09 Apr 09
Dear All,
Loving Sai Rams to you .
By Swami’s Divine Grace, Shri Ch Srinivasulu and Shri C B Nataraja from Tata Projects Ltd, accompanied, by a SSSVIP active workers team including the District President Hyderabad District, Shri H Srinivasulu, and Shri Ramesh Reddy from Mallapur village visited Challuru, followed by Veerareddipalli.
Out of the seven functioning bore wells in Challuru, the one near the Primary school of the village was chosen for water purification. The 2 inch bore is supplying adequate water to the 4800 strong population of the village. This water is stored in an overhead tank from where water is supplied to the entire village through a system of well laid out underground pipes. The TDS (Total Dissolved Salts) of this Borewell is 1600 ppm (desirable less than 500 ppm), the turbidity 3.5 ppm (desirable 1 ppm) and the fluoride content .68 ppm (desirable less than 1 ppm). The water plant will bring down the TDS and turbidity of the water to the desired levels. The fluoride content is within permissible limits. The Village Panchayat is willing to give a 17’ x 7’ x 12’ room for the setting up of the plant.
The Team visited Veerareddipalli next. Out of the two functioning borewells of the village one was chosen. The water supply is adequate to take care of the 2300 population of the village .The TDS (Total Dissolved Salts) of this Borewell is 567 ppm (desirable less than 500 ppm), the fluoride content 1.25 ppm (desirable less than 1 ppm).The Water treatment plant here would have an additional Fluoride remover unit which will remove the fluoride (2.5 ppm) from the waste water and recycle 45 to 55% of the same which would have otherwise gone waste. Such a set up is being tried for the first time in
