🌊 Continuing my journey to meet champions of water sustainability, I arrived at Madhavbag Hospital in Khapoli, Khalapur, dist. Raigad, Maharashtra. This isn't just a hospital; it's a sanctuary for holistic healing, embracing Ayurveda and naturopathy. 🏥 Nestled across 6 acres adorned with hundreds of trees, Madhavbag's serenity is a testament to nature's therapeutic power. But maintaining this oasis requires water – a lot of it. This is where their exceptional commitment to water management shines. 💧 The hospital invested wisely, constructing check dams within its grounds to capture and store precious rainwater. These reservoirs serve a dual purpose - they raise groundwater levels and become an oasis for the hospital's lush flora. 🌿 Dr. Rahul Jhadav, a visionary at the helm, has a singular mission - to make Madhavbag Hospital water positive. His philosophy is simple yet profound: extract less, recharge more. It's about giving back more to nature than they take. 🚰 Water conservation permeates every facet of the hospital. In patient care, they embrace water-efficient practices with low-flow faucets. Gardens and plantations are irrigated thoughtfully, tailored to each plant's specific needs, using drip systems. 🍽️ Even in the canteen and daily operations, water-saving measures are part of the ethos, minimizing waste and optimizing usage. 🌐 But what sets them apart is their embrace of cutting-edge technology. The hospital employs Dhaara Smart ultrasonic water flow meters, powered by batteries and ultrasonic waves. These devices, with patented telemetry systems, monitor water consumption in real-time and transmit data to the cloud. This allows the staff to manage water effectively. 🏥 Madhavbag Hospital isn't just a healthcare institution; it's a beacon of sustainable water management. Their dedication aligns with India's mission to become water positive. 🌊 By following their lead and adopting innovative solutions like Dhaara Smart, we can ensure a brighter, water-secure future for India. These efforts aren't just for us; they're for the generations yet to come. Together, we can make India water positive. 🇮🇳💙 #WaterChampions #Sustainability #Kritsnam #shapingwater #WaterPositive #ShapingTheFuture #Madhavbag #Madhavbaghospital
