Total Water Management

Water is a resource getting scarcer by the day. Total water management for a region or a project involves

1. Guidance in conserved use of water for varied applications such as for drinking and cooking, washing and bathing, irrigation, flushing wastes etc. 

2. Waste-water treatment, disposal or recycling 

3. Rainwater harvesting

4. Recharge/ drainage of storm-water.

Over the last two decades of work, guided by Mr Vilas Gore and Mr V S Venkitachalam, Inspiration has pioneered the construction of several medium and large-scale rainwater harvesting reservoirs. Carefully channelizing rain water falling on roofs and in every part of the land, conveying it through a well-designed network of sub-surface filter drains or open drains into recharge pits or catchment lakes have become part of many of Inspiration’s projects.

For domestic black and grey waste-water treatment, Inspiration with our network partners (since 2005), CDD Society of India (www.cddindia.org), have been working on DEWATS (Decentralized Waste-water Treatment Systems) which have definite advantages over traditional centralized aerobic systems. Inspiration has in-house expertise in design of small, medium and large scale DEWATS systems for a wide range of projects from individual residences to social housing projects, schools, campuses, hospitals, resorts and townships.  

Our recognitions in the sector includes Alappuzha Municipality in Kerala winning the National Swachh Survekshan Award in 2020 for Best Small City in Innovation and Best Practices for its decentralized liquid waste water management initiatives. (link ?? ).

CGH Earth Kalari Kovilakom and CGH Earth SwaSwara have won awards from the Pollution Control Board for environment protection.

Inspiration has also participated and presented our work in this sector at various national and international fora including the International Symposium on Management of Urban Waters and Urban Planning at Berlin 2018.
