MUMBAI: In an attempt to tackle the city's growing water shortage problem, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) is set to pass a proposal making it mandatory for all new buildings to install water recycling systems. Here, grey water (household non-toxic water) is disinfected and then reused for non-potable purposes (see box).
