Reuse of treated wastewater in Bengaluru, India
Dear All,
Sharing this interesting piece on Banglaore's KC valley project that treats 440 MLD wastewater which is directed to neighbouring drought prone districts for recharge of groundwater. An assessment by a leading research institute highlights a tenfold increase in groundwater recharge rates, enhanced groundwater quality, and improved agricultural productivity.
However, a quick search brings to the fore the scepticism of farmers, the key stakeholder in the project. I however, couldn't find how it was overcome.
Some other issues that I'd like to know more about include:
Regards

Some other issues that I'd like to know more about include:
- How did the various organisations and stakeholder come together? I am reminded that the ongoing water crisis in Banagalore is partly because of scattered institutions (see on-going discussion ).
- What quality control measures are put in place?
