GHAZIABAD: As a pilot project, the Ghaziabad municipal Corporation (GMC) has installed a water purifier in a pond located in Nyayfal village. This machine, Solar Smart Floating Air and Water Purification System, oxidises the impurities and nutrients present in the water and converts them into solids, with the neutralised molecules settling in the bottom of the pond.
The machine has been made by GMC's environment team set up last year and is the first of its kind in the district. The team has also started working on patenting the machine. In addition, the machine will help monitor the total dissolved solids (TDS) and water level of the pond through an app, which has been developed by the team. The work on the machine started last year and it took almost one and a half years for the machine to be functional.
