Indian scientists with the support from the Water Technology Initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST) has developed the novel hybrid technology called SWASTIIK. It is developed by scientists at CSIR-NCL Pune, with support from the Water Technology Initiative of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India. SWASTIK provides safe and healthy drinking water at low cost with substantial ease of operation, scale-up, and without harmful disinfection by-products. The technique used hydrodynamic cavitation combines chemistry, biology, and chemical engineering along with natural resources in the form of natural oils and plant extracts.
