Maputo [Mozambuique], February 15: At least four people were killed after Cyclone Gezani struck Mozambique's southern coastal province of Inhambane, officials said.
The fatalities in Mozambique were reported on Saturday, a day after the cyclone swept through Madagascar, where at least 41 people were killed and widespread destruction was recorded across the island.
The storm battered Inhambane with winds of up to 215 kilometres per hour, toppling trees and power lines, and leaving more than 13,000 people without electricity, according to the national power company.
Water supplies were also disrupted in several districts of Inhambane city, which has a population of around 100,000.

Amid Growing Water Crisis, Chandigarh University Biotechnology Researchers Get Patent for Innovative Device to Kitchen Wastewater Reuse, Save Potable Water

Chandigarh [India], August 29: At a time when 80% of water supplied to households in India is released as wastewater even as over 60 crore people in the country are facing severe water crisis due to extreme groundwater over-extraction, erratic monsoons and rapid urbanisation, a team of Chandigarh University (CU) researchers has conceived and patented an innovative wastewater filtering device designed to provide a two-stage treatment for kitchen wastewater before it enters the drainage system, while also enabling collection of the filtered water for suitable domestic uses including gardening, irrigation and outdoor-area cleaning, thus reducing the demand for fresh potable water.
