Rajbhawan Nainital
Segregation of waste Stopped burning of leaf litter Big compost pits dug-large
leaf litter and kitchen waste-200 quintals of compost
Benefits-Recycling and reuse of resourcesCheck air pollution Reduced emission of GHGSaved money on manure for
gardens Use of compostCarbon sequestration by trapping
in soil-some CH4
Leaky supply pipes–lots of water wasted
Flooding of lawns High rainfall Initiatives-◦ Replaced worn out pipe line◦ Sprinkler Irrigation◦ Harvested rainwater◦ Five structures-about one
lakh capacity◦ Solar powered pump
(1.8kw) ◦ 25LPD water purifier-
drinking water
500 Bamboos planted as screen
400 fruit and other plants and herbs –locally available
Recycled paper invitation and Certificate- Spring festival
Environmental Benefits ◦ Recycle and reuse of paper-
conservation◦ Fast growing species-green
campus◦ Attracts lots of avian fauna◦ Carbon sequestration
Of the 48,000 watt illumination 42,500 is through CFL
Electrical fittings checked and redone wherever needed- to avoid accident, leaking and wastage of electricity
Solar water heating-one 200LPD. Seven more.
165 litre solar powered DC refrigerator*
Biogas plant-5 Cum –kitchen and garden waste-residue-compost*
Street and Garden lighting through 7kw plus 2kw solar PV Power plants*
86.65 ha area The Government house –
foundation April 1897-more than 100 year old-European pattern and gothic architecture
Natural Forest Ecosystems ~160 acres- few and rare
45 acres Golf course 6700 ft MSL 8-10 moths cold-long winter Copious rainfall
A reservoir ~18 lakh litre capacity- harvest rainwater
Seven trees in the site translocated
Use gravitational force and sprinklers for irrigation
Saves about 1500 litres of diesel use-carbon emission
Checklist of important plants, birds and mammals
Planting local species of trees, shrubs, orchids
Five Wind Power generators one kw capacity*
One 5kw solar power plant* Five solar water heater
200LPD with electric backup*
One solar power heater 100 LPD with electric backup*
Battery operated golf cart* Restoration of Heritage
building under JnNURM using local material
Domestic Solid Waste-segregate, recycle, reuse Harvest Rainwater-mandatory in urban byelaws-use pricing of
municipal supply as a tool Green building as norm for government buildings Waste water recycle-incentive for reuse in the form price draw
back in municipal supply Use of bio sensor and photo sensor switching system building
and street lighting respectively Solar power-tropical areas as off grid solution for last mile
connectivity and heating for domestic use Direct subsidy for biogas usage-semi urban areas Revisit wood substitution policy
