This case study represents the project implemented at CSE office in New Delhi. The campus showcases a good example of water-sensitive designing at site level since it takes into account wastewater recycle and reuse as well as recharge of groundwater through rainwater. Rainwater Harvesing (RWH) and Decentralised Wastewater Treatment System (DWWTs) have been incorporated within permissible open spaces as per building bylaws. The system is designed to treat about 8 KLD of wastewater with various components that combine to make the treatment successful and treated water reusable. Approximately 1,200 litres of treated wastewater is used for watering the lawn once.
