Dear SuSanA Members and TREND Group.
Appreciating the efforts made by Team TREND Group, wish to give below some pertinent points to comply with for projects to be sustainable in a long run :-
1. All processes be it be for wastes either liquid or solid matter, the final produce need to be re usable and not wasted.
2. If concentration of sewage is higher, then Bio gas plnt may be made.
If it is minimal, then process the final stages of STP, can be made using elephant grass or fodder Etc..
3. Reuse water is used for agri farms Etc. If the sludge is duly remedied by co composting, in next phase, these are used in communities.
4. The areas having STP and STeP.to be landscaped well and made sustainable.
Well wishes.
