1 Integrating Bio-treated Wastewater Reuse with Enhanced Water Use Efficiency to Support the Green Economy in EU and India Significant outcomes and collaboration potential of EU-India research and innovation projects Water4crops-EU-FP7 Coordinator: Dr. Antonio Lopez, IRSA-CNR Water4crops-India-DBT Coordinator: Dr. Suhas Wani, ICRISAT Speaker: Dr. Mukund Patil, ICRISAT India

2 Water Scarcity WHY? Peri-urban agriculture using sewage : Sustainable Solution Madhya Pradesh's order to destroy crops cultivated using sewage has triggered a debate over the age old practice of using wastewater for irrigation In developing countries, a large portion of population resides in villages Approximately 90% of disease burden is due to absence of clean water and poor sanitation. According to the Institute for Global Environmental Strategies, a Japan-based research organization, 20 million hectares of land in 50 countries was being irrigated with raw or partially treated wastewater in Wastewater 2000 treatment at Villalge level Recycling and reuse of available waste in villages provides sustainable solutions for a waste management system and reduces environmental degradation. According to a research by People in Centre Consulting, an Ahmedabad-based consultancy, about 73,000 ha of peri-urban agriculture in India is dependent on wastewater for irrigation

3 How? Wastewater treatment and reuse in agriculture as integral part of Integrated Water Resources Management. Wastewater treatment and reuse as business model to ensure sustainability and income generation Involvement of community based organization for wastewater treatment and reuse Consortium on wastewater treatment and reuse in agriculture

4 Principle and Goal Develop innovative bio-technological treatments for wastewater valorization and agricultural reuse Improve water use efficiency through improved agronomics, plant breeding and innovative irrigation techniques

6 Consortium EU Consortium (21 Partners from 8 Countries): 5 Universities, 8 Research Institutes, 6 SMEs, 2 Consultant Comp. INDIA Consortium (11 Partners): 3 Industries, 2 Universities, 5 Research Institutes, 1 Consultant Comp.

7 What? Technology for recovering economically valuable components from wastewater Low cost less maintenance technologies for wastewater treatment Improved agricultural practices for efficient use of available water A business model for waste management at community level

8 Constructed wetland

9 Researchable issues Identification of efficient aquatic plant Estimation of plant uptake by the growing plants Optimization of harvesting schedule Investigation of beneficial use of the plant biomass

13 Enhancing quality of distillery spent wash through sequential adaptation of indigenous microbial consortium Fish monitoring Fish harvest

14 Influencing Policy Makers Technologies and achievement from this project may be supported by government initiatives such as Swatch Bharat Mission. Constructed wetland being implemented in village development program by Government of Karnataka

15 How can it be implemented through a green business model? Increased use of waste through reuse of treated wastewater in agriculture and recycling solid waste as compost or bioenergy Involving communitybased organizations, like women s Self-Help Groups (SHG), for planning, implementing and managing the DWMS as a green business model.
