Treated Water
The liquid fraction processed through treatment modules can be safely reused for various non-potable purposes.
What is Treated Water?
The liquid fraction processed through the treatment modules is collected in a storage tank as treated water. After proper treatment through biological and physical processes, this water meets quality standards suitable for non-potable reuse applications.
Reuse Applications
Treated water can be reused for various non-potable purposes:
Agricultural Irrigation
Irrigation of crops, particularly non-food crops, fodder, and tree plantations. Provides a reliable water source for farmers while reducing freshwater demand.
Green Belts and Plantations
Watering green belts, avenue trees, and plantations within the facility's premises and surrounding areas.
Gardening and Landscaping
Maintenance of gardens, parks, and landscaped areas at or around the treatment site and in nearby public spaces.
Benefits of Water Reuse
Environmental Impact
- Reduces freshwater demand
- Prevents discharge to water bodies
- Supports sustainable water management
- Closes the water cycle loop
Economic Impact
- Reduces irrigation costs
- Provides reliable water supply
- Enhances facility sustainability
- Potential revenue from water sales
Quality Standards
Treated water must meet prescribed quality parameters before reuse. Regular monitoring of BOD, COD, TSS, and pathogen levels ensures safe application. The treatment facility should maintain records of water quality tests.
Storage and Distribution
Treated water is collected in storage tanks at the treatment facility. From here, it can be distributed to nearby agricultural fields or used within the facility premises. Proper storage infrastructure ensures availability during peak demand periods.
