The Water Policy of NCT Delhi consists of a series of policy statements each of which will have to be elaborated into an actionable program by a working group. Components of different statements could converge on a common objective.

New wastewater system design guidelines developed at UBC can help municipal governments better protect aquatic life and save millions of dollars a year.

Water availability has become an important driver for facilitating economic growth in the state of Karnataka. As only 20% of water supplied is consumed and the balance 80% is wastewater, treatment and reuse of this wastewater will reduce the pressure to augment water supply from freshwater sources.

Pretreatment of feed water to improve membrane flux during filtration of agriculture field water containing substituted phenyl urea pesticide diuron has been reported. Laboratory-made reverse osmosis membrane was used for filtration. Preliminary experiments were conducted with model solution containing natural organic matter extracted from commercial humic acids, divalent ions Ca2+, Mg2+. Membrane fouling was characterized by pure water flux decline, change in membrane hydrophilicity and infrared spectroscopy. Natural organic matter present in field water causes severe membrane fouling.

The paper aims at highlighting the need for developing wastewater reuse as a sector, identifying the interventions that could help in the development of this sector. It also identifies suitable structures that can help in mainstreaming the implementation of wastewater reuse projects in the country.
