dc.description.abstract |
"Urban wastewater management has become a
challenge in India as infrastructural development
and regulations have not kept pace with
population growth and urbanization. Annually,
more and more people are moving into cities,
and the figures are expected to reach about 600
million by 2030 making India more peri-urban
than rural. Already, there is enormous pressure
on planners to provide utility services, and water
supply is a priority, especially where peri-urban
water is exported formally or informally to fulfill
city requirements. At the same time, the urban
return flow (wastewater) also increases, which is
usually about 70-80% of the water supply.
This study attempted to analyze the current
status of wastewater generation, its uses and
livelihood benefits especially in agriculture,
based on national data and case studies from
Ahmedabad, New Delhi, Hyderabad, Kanpur and
Kolkata." |
