Nature-Based System From IIT Guwahati Tackles Piggery Pollution
Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Guwahati, have developed an innovative nature-based wastewater treatment system utilising taro plants and an engineered "zig-zag flow" design. This low-energy, compact technology offers a promising solution for treating highly polluted swine wastewater in decentralised livestock farms, particularly in rural and resource-limited regions.
IIT Guwahati develops plant-based system to treat piggery wastewater
Guwahati: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati have developed a low-energy, nature-based system to treat highly polluted swine wastewater, offering a possible solution for livestock farms in rural areas where conventional treatment infrastructure is impractical. The compact technology uses taro plants (Colocasia esculenta) and an engineered “zig-zag flow” design. It was developed by […]
