KEY POINTS
· In India, the situation of water scarcity is grim with close to 600 million people facing acute water shortage.
· According to a report by Observer Research Foundation (ORF), the demand for water in India is expected to grow at a 2.8 per cent Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) from 2010 to 2030, facing a potential supply gap of 50 per cent by 2030.
· According to a research by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), industries utilise over 500 billion cubic metres of the total amount of fresh water available each year.
· According to the ORF report, if India reuses 80 per cent of its untreated wastewater from 110 of its most populous cities, 75 per cent of projected industrial fresh water demand can be met by 2025 replacing fresh water use.
· The recently adopted National Framework on the Safe Reuse of Treated Wastewater provides operational guidelines for States to take up programmes on wastewater reuse.
· One of the ways in which industries can efficiently manage their water is by converting their wastewater into high quality clean water that can be used for their internal purposes.
· With appropriate waste water reuse technology and right implementation, industries and apartments can definitely rethink their wastewater usage and leverage on its potential to the best possible level.
