Ooty Lake Remediation by Bio-Ozolyte

Abstract

Ooty Lake is considered to be one of the International tourist spot in the world. Such a lake with extreme pollution due to improper maintenance of lake and sewage water mixing in the lake through the Kodappamund channel is a national shame. In this project the measures are discussed to purify the water mixing in the lake rather than avoiding them from mixing. For this remedial measure the bio-ozolyte process is chosen by first performing a laboratory experiment from the sample of water taken from the channel and the lake, testing it and comparing it with the other treatment processes and proving it to be the best. The bio-ozolyte process as expected reduced the pollution level in the water below the limitations of sewage water and thus decided to implement the same process on a large scale near the Ooty Lake.
