Turning Interest Into Action
Dealing with the challenges of today requires problem-solvers who bring different perspectives and are willing to take risks. WENERGY emerged out of a pursuit to inspire and support the community, and a desire for actions to speak louder than words. The main aim behind our project is to clean the sewage canals of various localities and to maintain a clean environment. As we are already well aware of the COVID pandemic and how quickly it spread, our team’s goal was to come out as global citizens and spread awareness among people about how unclean sewers can lead to unsanitary conditions thereby causing another global pandemic.
STATISTICS
Industrial water consumption is responsible for 22% of global water use. In 2009 in Europe and North America, water consumption by industries was 50% as compared to 4-12% in developing countries. It is expected that in rapidly industrialising countries, this proportion could increase by a factor of five in the next 10-20 years. Therefore, there is a strong incentive to use wastewater in-house and locally, based on cost savings alone.
Globally, 80% of wastewater flows back into the ecosystem without being treated or reused, contributing to a situation where around 1.8 billion people use a source of drinking water contaminated with faeces, putting them at risk of contracting cholera, dysentery, typhoid and polio.
IMPACT
-Greater understanding and awareness spread to people
through our initiative.
- We have impacted the world of technology virtually by making a device, having the potential to clean sewers.
- We have also made an impact in terms of alleviating the sufferings of sewer cleaners, thereby reducing the probability of harming precious human resource.
We have also donated money to the SDGs to support our cause.
