municipal crews desilt roadside drains just before or during heavy monsoon rains, leaving piles of wet sludge on the curb. With no coordinated pickup team, the first downpour simply flushes the debris right back. Readmore https://t.co/OgtRtDU55j

Think beyond rooftop rain water harvesting. Layout roads , boundary walls balconies all are capable of harvesting water. More water stored = less water logging on roads!!

Why not use old railway carriages placed on side trackes with rainwater harvesting or trucks placed at strategic locations in urban setting to collect rain water and transport it to place of need.#rainwaterharvestingsystem #truckrainwaterharvester #giantrainbarrels

@WF_Watcher @GBAChiefComm @GBA_office @DKShivakumar @siddaramaiah There is no other way then to stop all construction . Are you ready for it. Leave open ground for water to go in . More roads metros houses all lead to water logging .

10 tips to reduce your LPG consumption by nearly 50%
1. Use the pressure cooker - Pressure cooking reduces cooking time by 30–70%, especially for dals, beans, potatoes, and meats.

2. Soak pulses, beans and rice - Soaking reduces cooking time significantly.
Typical soaking times:
• Rajma / chana: 8–10 hours
• Dals: 30–60 minutes
• Rice: 20–30 minutes
Soaked foods cook 30–50% faster, saving LPG.

3. Use the right sized burner - On most Indian gas stoves:
• Small burner → tea, tadka, reheating
• Large burner → pressure cooking, boiling water
Using a large burner for small vessels wastes gas.
Don’t use the large burner for all the cooking. Flame should not burn beyond the circumference of the pan.

4. Cook with lids on -
Cooking with a lid
• Retains heat
• Reduces evaporation
• Speeds up cooking
This can reduce fuel use by 20–25%.

5. Cut vegetables smaller - Smaller pieces cook faster because:
• More surface area
• Faster heat penetration & faster cooking
Example: diced potatoes cook faster than large chunks.

6. Cook multiple items together - Use stacking in a pressure cooker:
• Dal below
• Rice above
• Vegetables in a small bowl
This one-flame multi-cooking can cut fuel use dramatically. Even in smaller cookers, you can keep one vegetable directly in the cooker and another in a cup over it (like smaller quanity veg for sambar)

7. Check the burners - Blocked burner holes cause inefficient combustion. Clean burners every few weeks to ensure:
• Blue flame
• Faster heating
• Lower LPG use
Yellow flames = incomplete combustion.

8. (my fav tip)Switch off early and use residual heat - Many foods continue cooking with trapped heat.
Examples:
• Rice/khichdi
• Pasta
• Boiled vegetables
• Dal after pressure cooking
Turning off the flame 2–3 minutes earlier can save fuel.

9. Use flat bottomed heavy vessels - Heavy-bottom cookware distributes heat evenly, reducing cooking time.
Best materials:
• Stainless steel with thick base
• Triply steel
• Cast iron (for slow cooking)
Thin vessels waste heat and burn food.

10. Smarter cooking - Use an electric kettle for boiling water for tea, pasta, or blanching vegetables or to add to pressure cooker. It is more energy-efficient than LPG for water heating.
Batch cook rice, dal, beans,potatoes for 2-3 meals. Referigerate the extra portions. For the same fuel consumption you get double the meals cooked.

In most Indian kitchens, combining just 3 habits (pressure cooker + soaking ingredients + closed lid cooking can save nearly 30% fuel.

These tips are not just useful for the current times, but also to be more careful with LPG usage in our kitchen, reducing wastage and costs both.

LPG Conservation Tip : Let your pressure cooker do more.
It reduces cooking time and helps save a significant amount of LPG. By using separators, you can cook rice, dal and vegetables together, making your kitchen more efficient and energy-smart.

Remember:
Pressure cooking saves fuel and time. Use separators in the pressure cooker to cook different items at the same time.

The fashion industry is considered the second largest polluter in the world, with much research supporting the theory that 10% of global carbon emissions and 20% of wastewater production occur in this field.

AC condensate has multiple uses . just don’t drink it either in the name of faith or being sustainable !!

PLEASE DO NOT DRINK AIR CONDITIONING WATER!

Cooling and air conditioning systems are breeding grounds for many types of infections including fungus, some really hellish.

Exposure to air conditioning condensed water can lead to a terrifying disease known as Legionnaires' disease, spread by a species of bacteria called Legionella.
https://t.co/Bbmkr2KReC

People get infected by inhaling infected water droplets or aspirating small amounts of contaminated water into the lungs.
https://t.co/ZZkNgSqfXg

Legionella infection can be self-limiting and non-troublesome, called Pontiac Fever or can be severe, leading to death with development of pneumonia.
https://t.co/sbhD3VZbkt

A specific finding is severe reduction in sodium levels (hyponatremia) in the affected Legionella pneumonia patient which can lead to a host of other terrifying troubles such as brain dysfunction and nerve-muscle related severe events.
