WATER TRADING MECHANISM TO PROMOTE REUSE OF TREATED WASTEWATER

Summary

NITI Aayog proposes a water trading mechanism in India to address inefficient water use and the low reuse rate of treated wastewater, only 40% of which is currently treated. The approach involves formalizing the reuse of treated wastewater through a transparent platform where 'Water Reuse Certificates' (WRCs) can be traded among industrial, agricultural, and municipal users. This initiative is currently in the planning stage, exploring the feasibility of this market-based solution.
