The Red Mud Pond at Nalco, Damanjodi, Koraput, is a site that we want to bring to your attention. However, please note that this is a dangerous site, and we strongly advise against visiting it. Instead, we invite you to enjoy the photos and appreciate its unique beauty from a safe distance.
The Red Mud Pond is a remarkably picturesque location, despite being a hazardous area. The red mud is a primary waste product of the bauxite industry, and the industry has implemented new, environmentally friendly mud disposal techniques. These methods include dry and thick mud stacking, where thin layers of mud are spread on sloping beds to drain and evaporate, resulting in a high solid content. Additionally, clay-sealed under-drain disposal lakes are used, designed to maintain zero discharge from the plant to the environment.
