Siruthuli in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu is determined to restore 9 tanks and 2 canals of the historic Noyyal water system. As its effort can succeed only when water harvesting, waste managemant and afforestation all come together, Siruthuli is involved in these activities as well.

Today’s New Indian Express has a story on water hyacinth that was choking Selva Chintamani tank, being converted into organic manure by Siruthuli. The agents of conversion are specially tailored microbes supplied by an institute in Auroville, Pondicherry. Earlier, Siruthuli had produced 5 tonnes of fertiliser from city sewage.

Ms Vanitha Mohan, who actively leads Siruthuli, draws on the resources of Pricol Industries, run by her husband. The initiative is bound to have an effect on other captains of industries.  Visit http://www.siruthuli.org
