Across India, ponds and lakes are facing an alarming decline in water quality due to unchecked pollution. Untreated sewage, ritual offerings such as oil-mixed flour, flowers, havan ash, and other organic waste are routinely dumped into water bodies. In addition, excessive nutrient inflow has fueled the proliferation of algae, further disrupting the aquatic ecosystem.
The problem is compounded by the depletion of dissolved oxygen in water. Organic materials require oxygen to decompose, and as oxygen levels drop, aquatic life suffers. Algae blooms, driven by high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus, contribute to foul odour, murky water, and the death of fish and other aquatic species.
One promising and eco-friendly solution to this crisis is the use of DIGESTOR – a bio-enzymatic treatment designed to naturally restore water health. This innovative solution targets all types of organic waste, including fats, oils, grease, nitrogen, and phosphorus. Being natural and safe, DIGESTOR is easy to apply and does not harm aquatic organisms.
Once introduced into the pond or lake, DIGESTOR actively digests the organic nutrients that algae depend on for growth. The results are transformative: algae blooms diminish, bad odours disappear, and dissolved oxygen levels rise. Water transparency improves, toxic gases such as carbon dioxide, ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, and methane are reduced, and nutrient levels drop to healthier balances.
By adopting bio-enzymatic solutions like DIGESTOR, communities can revive their ponds and lakes without resorting to harsh chemicals or costly infrastructure. This approach offers an environmentally responsible and cost-effective pathway toward restoring the ecological balance of our precious water bodies.
