This document discusses sustainability challenges and solutions for tannery clusters in India. It outlines an Integrated Management System model to help tanneries meet environmental standards. Key challenges include adhering to regulations on wastewater quality. The document then details opportunities to reduce water consumption in tannery operations from 50 liters per square foot to 30 liters. It provides examples of effluent management practices such as establishing a zero liquid discharge process involving conventional treatment, reverse osmosis, and evaporation to treat and recycle all wastewater. Finally, the document describes the process used at a common effluent treatment plant to treat tannery wastewater before reuse.
Socio ecological dimensions of freshwater-ms jayshreemcci175
Only 3% of the water on Earth is freshwater, and of that only 1% is available for human use. Wastewater management is not just about compliance but has fundamental responsibilities for sustaining life on Earth. An effective freshwater management approach requires going beyond a human-centric view to consider the wider landscape, watershed, and habitats. One example is the Michelin case study where the green belt was reoriented for landscape restoration with native species and bioindicators to ensure sustainable water availability.

India has only 4% of the world's water resources but 16% of the global population, resulting in challenges for industrial water management. Current industrial water use is about 13% of total fresh water withdrawn and is projected to grow 4% annually. There is rampant water use and waste water disposal, exacerbated by a lack of enforcement of policies. Multiple government bodies regulate different aspects of water management but there is insufficient coordination between them. This has led to overuse of water resources, severe water pollution, and depletion of groundwater supplies. Solutions proposed include implementing aquifer policies, emphasizing recycling and reuse through regulations and incentives, exploring desalination, and improving coordination among ministries and regulators.
Emerging trends in waste water treatment 9.11.2013 n.s venkat ramanmcci175
This document discusses emerging trends in waste water treatment practices, including converting effluents into value-added products rather than just treating them. It provides several case studies on technologies that reduce or eliminate waste, such as a titanium dioxide process that operates on a zero discharge basis and technologies being developed to convert carbon dioxide into useful products. The document also discusses technologies for using waste materials like municipal waste, copper slag, and phospho-gypsum in cement production and describes processes developed to reduce water usage in denim processing and generate biohydrogen from waste.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
The document provides information about electricity markets in India. It discusses the segmentation of long, medium, and short-term power markets. It then describes the Indian Power Exchange (IEX) and its key products like the day-ahead market.

This document discusses electricity tariff models and the way forward for the power sector in India. It outlines three main tariff models: cost of service regulation, incentive regulation using price caps, and a hybrid model. It notes the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. The document then discusses issues around taking distribution companies towards a more competitive model, including unbundling distribution companies to separate wiring and supply businesses, privatizing distribution company supply functions, and defining the ongoing role of regulators.
