The soil bio-technology is already being used by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and several other places in Maharashtra. The DDA will jointly execute the project with INTACH and Vision Earthcare, a company of the ‘Society for Innovation and Entrepreneurship’ at IIT-Bombay.
As part of the project, a team of DDA officials will visit the sites in Mumbai, which are using the technology. DDA Vice-Chairman Balvinder Kumar said water processing equipments would not be visible and thus the top layer of the land can be landscaped and developed into a green area. DDA will provide the land for the project, available near the power drain, Kumar said, adding after the Mumbai visit, a tripartite agreement will be effected between the INTACH, Vision Earthcare and the DDA.
