India, Sept. 22 -- The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is preparing a plan to expand the use of treated wastewater from its Dhanwapur and Behrampur sewage treatment plants (STPs) to reduce reliance on fresh water and promote sustainable water management, officials said Friday.

Chairing a review meeting at the GMDA office, CEO Shyamal Misra stressed the need to channelise treated wastewater for non-potable purposes such as agriculture, horticulture, construction, and industrial use. "We must ensure maximum use of treated water generated from STPs across all possible sectors. Enhanced adoption will help curb the discharge of unutilised treated water into drains," Misra said.
