Fighting against POLLUTION to Save Environment
EXAMINATION OF CONVEYANCE SYSTEM FOR WASTE WATER
Examine the present mode of conveyance up to the outfalls; if it is underground sewer, check for chocking, any cleaning needed - indentify sewer maintenance needs -, if it is open channel see its state, examine if cement lining is required -examine if underground sewer is required.

Examine the topography of the Estate and check whether more than one outfall could be economical, if underground sewers are adopted.

Examine if collection by tankers would be economical (advantages, immediate implementation, if industries are located at considerable distance; prohibitive cost of collection avoided).

DETERMINATION OF WASTE MINIMISATION OPPORTUNITIES
Categories of industries having been identified, production process / technology known, list from UNIDO / UNEP publications relevant to waste minimisation options - Recycle, recovery or reuse options. Discuss practicability of options with the entreprenuers. Report outcome.

Approach to motivate the entreprenuers for adoption.

TREATABILITY STUDIES
Conduct laboratory scale treatment studies on the terminal wastewater, physical, chemical, biological - determine the
