A long cherished and most wanted project for the islanders of Vypin islands of Cochin, who struggle to fetch drinking water despite surrounded by backwaters. Except tall promises by changing Governments and candidates, nothing concrete had been done to address the unavoidable necessity of the islanders. This project is a proposal for any Corporate house to adopt as their CSR initiative as to set up a desalination plant to provide hygienic drinking water for the people of Vypin Islands.

Sydney’s water demand is currently met by 11 major damns, recycled water and water pumped from the Shoalhaven River. Warragamba dam provides Sydney with 80% of Sydney drinking water supply. Sydney’s high demand for water has forced the NSW Government to come up with a Metropolitan Plan for Sydney, by creating more Grey water, Water efficiency programs, Desalination Plant and early lead detection.

Water Shortages: What does it hold for Sydney? | Biocity StudioBiocity Studio
Climate change in the future will led to sea level rising, low rainfall, warmer days and water shortages through evaporation in the dams. A lesser amount of Sydney rain falls in the catchment area, as most of Sydney’s rain falls on the coast and the catchment areas are further island E.g. Warragamba Dam. Warragamba Dam is Sydney’s major water supply can supply Sydney with 4 years supply of water with zero inflow supply, but currently the dam is at 50% capacity. We now need to research desalination plants, larger scale water treatment plants and government plans and policies to help save our water supply.
Water / Wastewater - how we solve Sydney's water problem | Biocity StudioBiocity Studio
If Sydney’s water supply is consumed our agricultural industry, transport and energy will be badly effected. This presentation looks at how we solve Sydney’s water problem? Do we build a desalination plant or try to scale water on a large scale?
Sydney’s Water Sustainability | Biocity StudioBiocity Studio
According to the CSIRO Sydney rainfall will decrease by 3% while population will increase, amounting to an increase of 20% more water by 2030. Currently Sydney is recycling 25 billion litres per year; by 2015 we will be recycling up to 70 million litres. 12% of Sydney’s water usage will be recycled water.
Sydney’s main source of water came from the tank stream in Sydney cove before it was polluted in 1826. Pipes were laid out throughout Sydney and we became more dependent on bore water. The Upper Nepean and Warragamba dam were considered to be the solution. The government has built Primary, Secondary and tertiary Wastewater treatment plants. These plants help remove solids, inorganic material, organic, metals, pathogens, nitrogen and phosphorus. Now the government has proposed a Desalination plant at Kurnell to help Sydney’s water crisis.

Working with data is a challenge for many organizations. Nonprofits in particular may need to collect and analyze sensitive, incomplete, and/or biased historical data about people. In this talk, Dr. Cori Faklaris of UNC Charlotte provides an overview of current AI capabilities and weaknesses to consider when integrating current AI technologies into the data workflow. The talk is organized around three takeaways: (1) For better or sometimes worse, AI provides you with “infinite interns.” (2) Give people permission & guardrails to learn what works with these “interns” and what doesn’t. (3) Create a roadmap for adding in more AI to assist nonprofit work, along with strategies for bias mitigation.

2. An island in Kochi district of
Kerala State.
Formed after a flood in 1341,
the island is 27 km long
It is known to be the island
having highest density of
population in the world.
Vypin Island
3. The Vypin island is surrounded by water, but
inside the island people are facing acute
dinking water problem, since for long
Availability of adequate drinking water remains
a dream for the residents of Vypeen Island
4. An island without drinking water
Water.... Water…. everywhere…. But not a drop to drink
5. The scarcity of safe drinking water has
forced the district administration to
make alternative arrangements like
supplying water in tankers and barges
to the affected areas. A rough
estimate suggests that 25 crores has
been spent for this, already.
The latest…............... On 23-01-2013, a meeting chaired by the CM has
decided to supply drinking water at Vypin by means of tanker lorries in the
wake of acute drinking water shortage.
6. Story of water projects
Projects with special attention was given to
Elankunnapuzha, Njarackal, Nayarambalam and
Edavanakad panchayats were undertaken to tackle
the water crisis of Vypin
Two major projects - the Hudco-Aided Water
Augmentation Scheme and Chowara Water Supply
Scheme were implemented but without much respite
But, the story of water crisis and the
peoples’ agitation continues
7. Until early 1994, piped water was in abundant supply on the island.
However, with the real estate boom and the population pressure on the
Kochi mainland, water meant for the island began to be diverted for use in
the urban and surrounding areas. Now, the islanders have to wait for the
arrival of barges and tankers to provide them water.
History of water crisis
8. Water is more precious for them
Worst hit panchayats
are
Elamkunnappuzha,
Njarakkal and
Nayarambalam
"Ernakulam (Kochi) district has
many water sources. But many
parts of the district are already
reeling under acute water
shortage," said district collector
P I Sheik Pareeth (Jan 14, 2013)
“The Vipin island panchayats
are already the worst hit in the
district………….” adds he…………
9. Way out…. desalination
Refining the water, plentifully
available at the island, could be a
way out for this crisis
Desalination is one
among the methods
A desalination treatment plant
with a perfect distribution network
could work out well for the island
10. Desalination plant
mooted for Vypin
Water from Arabian Sea
can be desalinated and
electricity can also be
generated through
wind energy, solving
both the problems
11. Desalination History
There are about 12,000 desalination
plants around the world.
The biggest plants are in the UAE, Saudi
Arabia and Israel.
A 100 million-liter/day plant in Minjur in
Chennai in 2010 & work of the second
one for the southern suburbs underway
Hitachi recently signed MoU Gujarat
government to set up Asia's biggest
desalination plant in Dahej SEZ.
The first desalination plant in Kerala has
been mooted in Chellanam in Kochi,
very recently
12. Big names in desalination
ABB, India
IDE, Israel
GE Power & Water
WABAG, Switzerland
Black & Veatch, the UK
LANXESS Lewabrane, Germany
13. Why ………………
Hence ………………………………..
for its first ever corporate social institution in Kerala
Capable of executing the project
Kochi is the commercial hub of Kerala
Could be the first ever desalination project in Kerala
Drinking water is a long-cherished dream of people of Vypin
Will help go a long way in winning the hearts of the people and politicians
Can send a great social message to entire Kerala
14. Approximately 97.5% of the world’s available water reserves consist of
seawater, containing salt, which is therefore undrinkable.
The desalination of sea and brackish water is now a technically and
economically recognized method of obtaining clean drinking water.
……….. would sponsor the first ever
dream-come-true drinking water
project for Vypin Island
15. An Institution of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
corporate social
responsibility (CSR) as
an institution to change
the fortunes of a society
The idea of need refers to
the kinds of problem
which people experience
Water is perhaps the
most important civic
amenity for sustenance
of our life
Desalination and
water treatment
would change
the fortunes of
Vypin islanders
in a big way
16. …………………… partnering with
Government of Kerala to find a
lasting solution for the
drinking water crisis of Vypin
……………
VYPIN
Invariably would the people of the State would
recognize as well as admire the good gestures of
…………………….. for improving their living standards
17. Giving Water, Giving Life
Water is an intrinsic part of most spiritual beliefs
For Hindus, water aids spiritual purification
In the Vedas, water is referred to as the “most maternal” - it explains
that all the inhabitants of the earth had emerged from the primordial sea.
Jesus offers much more than a spiritual "drink of water" to the thirsty soul
In Christianity, baptism links the concept of the
water of life with the water of purification
When the prophet Mohamed was asked what was the most
praiseworthy deed, he answered, "To give water to drink..“
18. Our Business Vs Our CSR
Each time water from the taps
flow into the cans and buckets
of the islanders, we create a
happy face and a healthy
citizen
The more clean drinking water we could
treat the better would be the social
bondage we make with the people of
Kerala, the Gods Own Country
Lets make them drink (pure water) and keep them happy & Let this be a beginning ……
Editor's Notes
Availability of adequate drinking water remains
a dream for the residents of Vypeen Island
Reliance would sponsor the first ever dream-come-true drinking water project for Vypin Island
