West Bengal mandates wastewater recycle in housing societies
West Bengal's urban development and municipal affairs department mandated that residential housing units reuse treated wastewater for non-potable purposes under the 'West Bengal State Policy on Safe Reuse of Treated Wastewater.' The policy aims for at least 20% of industrial water requirements to come from municipal wastewater by 2030, promoting sustainable water management across various sectors. Authorities will also develop a GIS-enabled management information system to assess water demand and wastewater generation.
