An integrated approach to domestic water management is being carried out in 2 villages each in Kolar and Mysore districts of Karnataka. This initiative is implemented by the NGOs MYRADA and MYKAPS and supported by Arghyam. As a part of the effort, ecological sanitation (ecosan) structures were constructed. On 18 February, 2010, a couple of beneficiaries opened the pits in order to harvest the manure.
