Optimizing Household Waste Water

Abstract

The paper presents a case study of an initiative taken by the Micro Irrigation Catchment Area Development Authority Haryana in utilizing the household wastewater for micro-irrigation. Haryana, being a forerunner in the agro-production, relies heavily on canal and ground water and consumes more than 70% of water for irrigation. But with no perennial river of its own and with the fast plummeting of ground water levels, the water availability is becoming scarce.
