Anil Agarwal Green Centre - City water and decentralised wastewater management: Alternative paradigms

Agenda for survival

Understanding EIA

Urban Rainwater Harvesting

Towards green villages

Domestic wastewater treatment & reuse

Meeting the challenge: River pollution

Domestic wastewater treatment and reuse for engineers, architects, builders

New Delhi, September 22 – 26 2008
Cities in India are growing, but in a haphazard manner. The demand for water has exploded, while tonnes of waste is generated everyday and is left untreated. How do we even begin to compute these costs, and assess the water-waste balance for our thirsty urban growth?

Clearly, cities can do more with less -- by cutting down on inefficiencies and distribution losses, all signs of poor management.

But equally important are issues of resource equity -- the massive gap in water supplies within the city. The challenge is therefore as much about justice as it is about technology.

We also need to address the enormous challenge of water pollution caused primarily by human waste. There is an urgent need to switch from the current paradigm of capital, water and material intensive processes of waste management to a more cost effective, non-sewerage paradigm of human waste disposal.
