Biodiversity Birds increased by 8 times, dragonflies 10 times, butterflies 8

times, fish population 3 times, crabs, water monitor lizard,

snakes etc.

Green cover In water and shoreline of about 4000 sq. m

Reduction in gastric diseases among the villagers who drink

the water from tube well in the lake

Awareness of

Masses

Small eatery owners started keeping waste bins; now the

wastes are not directly thrown in the lake.

Technological Nuances

Best Available Technology (BAT)

- approachable technology effective in preventing or minimizing pollution emissions

Best Available Technology Not Entailing Excessive Costs (BATNEEC) - focus explicitly on cost – benefit analysis i. e. financial costs should not be

excessive as compared to the financial capacity of the stakeholder

Best Environmental Practices (BEP)

- curtail the transferring of pollution from one phase to another

Best Practical Environmental Option (BPEO)

- identification the least environmentally damaging method for the discharge of

pollutants

Suitably Applicable and Affordable Technology (SAAT)

- consideration of local site specific conditions, skill levels of personnel, availability

of materials, equipment, energy and extent of pollution

“Ecotechnology is an applied science that seeks to fulfill human needs

while causing minimal ecological disruption, by harnessing and subtly

manipulating natural forces to leverage their beneficial effects. “

- Wikipedia

What is Ecotechnology?

Ecotechnology for pollution treatment is an application of ecological

processes for the resources and waste management using combinations

of aquatic or terrestrial plants, microbes, invertebrates, vertebrates and

subtly manipulating natural forces to leverage their beneficial effects

through maneuvering cycling of matter and energy . “

One organism’s waste is

other’s food

Secondly, the green plants

absorb carbon dioxide from

the atmosphere

Pollutants transferred to

natural cycles i. e.

biogeochemical cycles

Carbon gets stored in

vegetation and subsequently

in the soil.

Epilogue

Conventional wisdom has traditionally regarded the modern city

as the product of cheap energy, economic forces, high

technology and a view of nature that is under control. The

underlying disciplines that have shaped the city have little to dowith the natural sciences or ecological values.
