Water water everywhere but not a drop to drink.’ About half of India is facing drinking water crisis with Chennai and Bengaluru bearing the brunt as monsoon got
delayed and arrived without a brimming bucket.
drinking water CSIR-CMERI has come up with technologies to remove these harmful elements from water for the wellbeing of human beings.
CSIR-Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Durgapur has developed three significant technologies related to serve quality drinking water. To dedicate these technologies to the Nation CSIR-CMERI has signed an agreement with M/s. Sarvo
Technologies Limited of Haryana and ISW Industries, Howrah, these two will implement the technologies across the country, today at Kolkata Press Club. This signing ceremony was

At a number of locations, in rural as well as urban India, contaminants such as Arsenic, Iron, Fluoride in ground water exceed the permissible limits causing severe health hazards. On top of this, there is continuous depletion of ground water. This is really alarming and here lies the responsibility of a research organization like us.
To solve such problems, CSIR-CMERI is continuously researching on water conservation as well as water filtration management. Now three technologies are ready for commercialisation
and we are transferring those technologies for greater good of Indian society.”
