Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, innovative proposals are sought online for assisting the states/UTs to adopt innovative technologies to deliver drinking water services to rural communities.

A high-level multi-disciplinary technical panel in the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation has recommended five technologies, three for safe drinking water and two for sanitation, an official statement said on Sunday. According to the Jal Shakti Ministry, the committee focussed on application of science and technology for providing field-level solutions.

The technologies include Grundfos AQpure, a solar energy-based water treatment plant based on ultra-filtration, Janajal Water on Wheel, an Internet of Things (IoT) based electric vehicle to deliver safe water to households and Presto Online Chlorinator, a non-electric online chlorinator for disinfection of water for removal of bacterial contamination.

The other two are Johkasou technology, an inbuilt packaged black (sewage) and greywater (kitchen and bath water) treatment system having advanced anaerobic-aerobic configuration that can be installed underground, while FBTec is a site assembled decentralised sewage treatment system using fixed filter media.

The states and union territories can adopt the technologies depending on their requirement and suitability, the ministry said.
