A campus tour…

 

Waste management deals with all types of waste. Waste management is intended to reduce adverse effects of waste on human health, the environment, planetary resource and aesthetics.

The sun was scorching hot when we set out for a campus tour. We headed towards the waste management unit of our college. Moving slowly, we reached the Sewage Treatment Plant. We observed the process involved in cleaning the waste water. We were also explained as to how waste water was treated.

We then proceeded towards the bio-compost pit, just next to the sewage treatment plant. We had to capture pictures everywhere. We were explained about the bio-compost pit.

 Later on, we moved towards the incinerator. We observed the working of the incinerator. We were also explained about the procedures and measures followed while using the incinerator.

Incineration is a disposal method in which solid organic wastes are subjected to combustion so as to convert them into residue and gaseous products.  Incineration reduces the volume of waste. We were educated about how the incineration process works.

Later, even though we were all tired, we set for another activity in the campus.

We had organized a cleaning activity the last time we had visited the Igguthappa temple in Kakkabe.
