Gurugram, 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, officials said Friday. Chairing a review meeting earlier this week, GMDA CEO Shyamal Misra stressed the need to channelise treated water for non-potable purposes such as agriculture, horticulture, construction, and industries. "We must ensure maximum use of treated water generated from STPs across all possible sectors. Better adoption will help curb discharge of unutilised treated water into drains," Misra said. Currently, the Dhanwapur STP (218 MLD) and Behrampur STP (170 MLD) treat about 350 MLD, of which only 117 MLD is reused. Immediate steps include supplying treated water to Damdama and Sultanpur lakes, extending pipelines to farmlands, and diversion to NTPC and Jhajjar thermal plants....
