A seventh class girl student and her teacher came up with a model to purify the polluted Musi river water and use it for agriculture purpose. The duo demonstrated it during the three-day district-level Inspire Science Fair-2015 in Bhongir.
Student, Gyara Sravani, student of ZP High School at Maktha Anantharam village, said that they have observed many farmers cultivating with Musi water suffer from various skin, respiratory and others diseases since they work in the polluted water and also consuming the food grain and vegetables grown with polluted water.
Sravani said that after seeing the problems being faced by the farmers, she along with the support of her biology teacher S.V.Ramarajulu prepared a filter which should be fitted at the entrance of farmer's field with proper way.
Removes industrial effluents
The filter will have a fishing net in the upper part followed by sand, charcoal and gravel which will almost remove industrial effluents and other pollutants. Mr. Ramarajulu suggested that the farmers should fit this filter in a such way that the water should pass through this filter just before entering the field. The biology teacher said he along with his student conducted a survey at Maktha Anantharam village where dozens of farmers have been cultivating paddy using Musi water in about 300 acres land.
