The HMWS&SB conducted a workshop on ‘Latest Technology in Water & Waste Water Sectors’ on Wednesday at the Institute of Engineers, Khairatabad. Speaking on the occasion, Water Board MD M Jagadeeshwar stressed on the need to explore ways and means to developing technologies that reduce human element in sewage cleaning as against the prevailing situation wherein scavengers are employed to clean sewers/dispose sewage, after all they are also human beings and should be given them their due in civilised society.
He observed that there should be regular interaction between board engineers and industries to achieve a zero human element in sewer cleaning. “Customers are willing to pay little extra for modern technological equipment provided they offer better quality and performance,” he said. About twenty companies from across India participated in the workshop.
