Best Practices<br />

Indian Wastewater Market continues to benefit from highly Innovative Indigenized Best<br />

Practices<br />

Indian Best Practices:<br />

Recycling<br />

Wastewater for<br />

Aquaculture<br />

Forestation on<br />

Wastewater Area<br />

Development of<br />

Wastewater<br />

Recycling and Reuse<br />

Recovery of metals<br />

from Industrial<br />

Wastewater<br />

Recovery of solvents<br />

from wastewater<br />

Indian urban water supply and wastewater management are in<br />

transition from unsustainable centralised model to a sustainable<br />

and rational decentralised one. Development of National level<br />

public awareness is getting generated through effective<br />

campaigns, including public meetings and student rallies. Also,<br />

citizens have been motivated to store and manage waste locally.<br />

India’s Waste Sector has developed various indigenous methods<br />

in the last few decades, which have made it extremely productive<br />

and efficient.<br />

Prominent Best Practices prevalent in this sector are as follows:<br />

Recycling of Wastewater: Wastewater has been recycled<br />

including Sewage effluent for Aquaculture<br />

Water Management at a Household and Residential<br />

layout-level: This was followed in Bangalore and involved<br />

roofing and plumbing practices, water efficiency and fixtures,<br />

rainwater harvesting, recharge wells and sumps, groundwater<br />

use and wastewater treatment, solid waste management,<br />

landscaping and behavioral changes<br />

Forestation on Wastewater Area: A village in Maharashtra<br />

used the route of planting trees to overcome the problem<br />

posed by open gutters.<br />

Development of Wastewater Lake into Recreational Area:<br />

In Orissa an amusement park was set up on an area that was<br />

previously flooded by wastewater. An Indo-Canadian Agency<br />

funded this project.<br />

Designing Flexible Wastewater Systems: These systems<br />

allow efficient and seamless usage of utilities during peak<br />

tourist loadings as well as “off-season”. Such initiates have<br />

been taken in various Indian cities.<br />

USAID<br />

Municipal Wastewater Recycling and Reuse: USAID offered<br />

technical assistance to the NMC and Mahagenco to design,<br />

develop, and implement highly innovative wastewater recycling<br />

and reuse project in Nagpur. The project was designed to<br />

develop large scale industrial applications for treated municipal<br />

wastewater. It allowed NMC to meet environmental compliance<br />

to treat municipal sewerage and Mahagenco to purchase the<br />

treated water for its power plant operations.<br />
