WIPRO, a corporate
group, has been engaging in many water sustainable practices over a period now.
The team at WIPRO also supports the aquifer mapping and lakes bio-remediation
projects in Bengaluru. Wipro employees staying in the area falling under Sarjapur-Bellandur
watershed have been helpful in providing information about their borewells
also.
As part of the world
water day, a small event was arranged in WIPRO Sarjapur campus wherein the
activities comprised of conducting water quality tests on the samples brought
by the employees and share the information about aquifer mapping project, lakes
bioremediation activities. The water quality tests conducted included pH, TDS,
Electrical conductivity (E.C), Salinity, Fluoride and bacterial. The vials for
the bacterial testing were given away to the people as the time taken for the
results to show up is 24hrs-48 hrs. The sharing of information about the
projects was done through elaborating on the watershed map, a small story book
on sewage mining.
The feedback of the
employees was overwhelming with people remembering to get their own water
samples to office and taking the bacterial vials at home for testing on their
own.
We would like to
thank Lingaraj Dinni and other members from WIPRO for giving an opportunity to
be part of this event.
Good work.
