Waste to Worth: Managing India’s Urban Water Crisis through Wastewater Reuse



This event is complete

India’s Union Jal Shakti Ministry has mandated that cities must recycle and reuse at least 20 per cent of the water they consume. This is in line with the belief that promoting a circular economy is essential for achieving a sustainable and climate-resilient future, and for managing the ever-growing demand for freshwater.

Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), in collaboration with the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), is organising a national workshop which will bring together experts and representatives from seven Indian states and various national institutions to discuss the current state of wastewater management in the country. The event will highlight examples from cities that have successfully transformed treated wastewater into a valuable resource, addressing modern urban water needs while reducing climate-induced water stress.

On this occasion, CSE and NMCG will also launch a research study conducted by CSE: Waste to Worth: Managing India’s Urban Water Crisis through Wastewater Reuse. Drawing from on-ground work and policy-level interventions, the publication serves as a valuable resource for addressing India’s urban water challenges.
