Bhopal: Bio-Enzymes from Lemon Peels to Clean Water
The city of Bhopal is using lemon peels to make a special cleaner called bio-enzyme.
This cleaner is made by mixing lemon peels with water and jaggery, then letting it sit for three months.
This process creates a powerful cleaning agent that helps clean lakes by breaking down things like algae and sludge.
The bio-enzyme can also be used to clean homes and even helps plants by acting as a fertilizer and pest repellent.
The goal is to keep the city's water clean and healthy.
BMC is producing bio-enzymes from discarded lemon peels.
The bio-enzymes will be used to clean lakes and improve sanitation.
Lemon peels are collected from temples, hotels, and juice shops.
The fermentation process involves water, lemon peels, and jaggery.
The bio-enzyme can also be used for household cleaning and gardening.
