| Current Reuse Practice Horticulture and green belts |
| |
 |
| Smaller hydrant (access point) near Almeda Chowk, Sector 70, Gurugram from where the treated water is used for horticulture |
Treated wastewater is extensively used for the maintenance and development of green belts and parks in Gurugram. Water from the main pipeline is supplied to hydrants, located at 30-meter intervals. These hydrants play a crucial role in supplying treated water for green belt development in different parts of the city, including Sector 52 and South City, the Southern Peripheral Road, Sector 36, and Sector 38 |
| |
| Industrial Use |
| |
 |
| Existing pipeline network at Behrampur STP used for supplying treated used water for textile industries in Sector 34, Gurugram |
The Behrampur STP supplies 5–7 MLD of tertiary-treated water to the textile industry in Sector 34, meeting stringent quality standards (BOD < 5 mg/l, TSS < 30 mg/l, TDS < 500 mg/l). Textile units conduct four daily quality tests, ensuring reliability. Priced at Rs 2/kl, this cost-effective water generates an additional Rs 3 lakh in monthly revenue, compared to the Rs 5–6/kl cost of groundwater. |
