Nagaland: Bamboo washbasins are 100% eco-friendly

Guwahati: Ingenuity is not simply confined to laboratories and workplaces and it can be found in our daily lives too.

Take for example, the revolutionary bamboo public washbasins in Nagaland created from nothing but bamboo. There are no steel or plastic pipes used to supply water for drinking and handwashing, guaranteeing that the environment is not harmed.

According to reports, small cuts are made in long horizontal bamboo poles, which are filled with small bamboo stoppers. The people use pipelines to deliver water to these natural washbasins, which are fed by rivers that flow through the hills. This guarantees that fresh water is available at all times. In the event that a permanent source of water is unavailable, water can be manually poured into them.

Those who want to use the water can do so by removing the bamboo stopper and then reinserting it to stop the flow.

Meanwhile, the wooden hangers linked to poles or trees, which may be used to hang towels for drying as well as provide storage for soap or liquid handwasher bottles, make these public amenities even better.

It may be mentioned that such bamboo washbasins are created in the villages for people to use or during public events and gatherings like weddings or festivals.
