Assists Practitioners involved in sectors related to water management as well as urban designing and planning.
The high energy footprint of conventional municipal water management practices and contemporary disharmony between the water and energy sectors has resulted in missed joint opportunities for resource conservation.
According to the World Economic Forum’s 2015 Global Risk report, around one third of the global population is currently water stressed, with about one billion people not getting safe drinking water—the water crisis is perceived as a top-order threat. India is no different. According to Indian government data, 22 out of 32 of India’s big cities face water crises.
This guide attempts to mainstream water efficiency and conservation (WEC) from policy to practice. It provides guidance with regard to practicing WEC for effective planning of water-secure cities.
Provides introduction and guidance to strategies related to sustainable water management within the existing urban fabric of a city or region.
This chiefly involves measures to provide training and handholding support to urban local bodies and other key stakeholders from 10 small / medium-sized cities in the Ganga basin in preparing City Sanitation Plan (CSP)

In the name of economic growth, most rivers and streams are turning into sewers due to excessive pollution load- especially from urban settlements.
The discharge of untreated sewage and the ensuing bacterial contamination of surface water bodies pose a health risk in its reuse, be it for a variety of domestic purposes including safe drinking water, as well as exposing farmers who often use raw sewage or polluted streams to meet their irrigation needs.
