Kirti Vardhan Singh Launches Nano Bubble Tech to Purify Delhi Zoo Pond Water

Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest, and Climate Change, Kirti Vardhan Singh, inaugurated a 15-day trial of Nano Bubble Technology at the National Zoological Park in Delhi on Tuesday. This initiative is aimed at improving the water quality in the zoo’s ponds to benefit aquatic animals by removing algae, foul odors, and discoloration often caused by polluted water. The success of this trial could lead to the broader implementation of the technology to ensure cleaner, healthier water for the animals.

Technology for Cleaner Water

Nano Bubble Technology uses microscopic bubbles to purify water, removing algae and organic growth. The primary aim is to ensure the health and visibility of aquatic creatures in the zoo’s ponds, including gharials and marsh crocodiles. The zoo’s four ponds, which are often affected by water contamination, will be tested during the 15-day trial.

Impact on Aquatic Animals’ Health

The new technology is designed to prevent water pollution that typically leads to foul smells and algae buildup. Cleaner water will not only improve the health and well-being of the animals but also make them more visible to visitors, enhancing the zoo experience. The zoo director emphasized the importance of maintaining clear water for the safety and observation of the animals.

Future Prospects

If successful, the technology could be implemented more widely across the zoo, providing long-term benefits for both the animals and the environment. The trial’s outcome will determine the potential for scaling up this innovative water purification system in other parts of the zoo.
