Doors 9 Conference : Naresh Narasimhan

Juice can be interpreted in Hindu as “Rasa” also means something that moved you and the ability of summoning emotions on stage.
Juice in the larger set of things could express sepctacle, aesthetic, divine, ethereal, sublime and elevated.
The exact opposite of Juice would be: hidden, temporal, viscous, subsurface, and unworthy of human attention.

This is how we see sewage.

What do we know about sewage ans sewer systems? There are a lot of urban legends around them for on . In New York, there was an alligator caught in the sewage, in Futurama, the Simpsons where the alligator comes out of the bathroom, the teenage mutant ninja turtles, Flukeman.
Sewers and subculture: Murlocks, HG Wells,  Scraps in Demolition man.
Sewers as deliverance? Shawshank Redemption where he escapes through a sewage pipes, in The Matrix where humans are freed through sewage pipes.

What happens when you flush the toilet? It gets transported, treated and released to degrade the quality of our urban existence.

Sewage represents is 88% water, there needs to be a way to reclaim water.

Bangalore is seen as the poster child of globalisations problems.
It is the largest city in the world and no other reason to go there apart from the climat. Water is pumped to the city  from a readius of 173 kms.
There is a network all around the city that ends up polluting the entire bodies of water around the valleys, contaminating the ground water. The water supply companies dont take care of disposal but the city does, well doesn’t.

The last sewage pipelines were set by the British in 1964. The city has 7,3 million people and the capacity for the water supply is for 7 million.

Slovenia has no sewage system at all, using bioreactor technology where water is treated on site.

The idea of decentralisation starts with ecologically sensitive sanitation system
avoiding dumping in natural water structures.
