Waterbodies are precious ecosystems that support people, plants and aquatic life. At Vettaiperumal Kovil Kanmai (bund), the sewage and solid waste Interception Grille acts as a protective fence, preventing plastic bottles, polythene and other floating waste from entering the Kanmai (bund).

Systematic extraction and sorting of collected debris ensure that recoverable fractions, including plastics and metals, are seamlessly diverted into recycling streams. This streamlined procedure effectively mitigates aquatic contamination, safeguards freshwater ecosystems, and preemptively averts blockages within drainage canals and waterways.

“Catch it → Collect it → Segregate it → Recycle it”

A waste interception grille can collect the waste that reaches it – but it cannot solve the entire problem by itself. The real solution begins with us – Power the shift, lead the change.

Safeguarding our aquatic ecosystems is a collective moral imperative. We must proactively refrain from discharging refuse into storm water conduits and drainage networks.  Apart from this, we need to systematically curtail single-use plastics, and rigorously adhere to disciplined waste segregation protocols. Incremental actions catalyze profound systemic transformation.

Let us preserve the ecological integrity, vitality, and longevity of the Vettai Perumal Kovil Kanmai (bund) for posterity.

In a nutshell:

“Preserve the Kanmai (bund). Conserve water. Sustain life.”
