How Now Brown Cow?
HOW THE COW IS HELPING HUMANS DEVELOP AN ECO-FRIENDLY WAY OF CLEANING WASTE WATER
One of the first animals many of us learn about as kids, cows have been part of the landscape and farmed for over 10,000 years, with their illustration visible in everything from childrens books to ancient Khoi San rock paintings!
Beyond their cultural significance, cows are incredible ruminants, capable of digesting plants with a stomach divided into four compartments. This unique digestive system has inspired engineers in Bangalore, India, to revolutionize wastewater treatment.
A new sewage treatment plant, modeled after a cow’s stomach, uses microorganisms to progressively clean wastewater without electricity, making it eco-friendly and sustainable.
