Project Details
Description
While India is facing its worst water crisis in a decade, its rapid urbanization keeps on putting
more stress on fresh water supply, while simultaneously water resources are polluted by
untreated wastewater discharge.
LOTUSHR will demonstrate a novel holistic (waste-)water management approach for the recovery
of water, energy and nutrients from urban wastewater. The required treatment and reclamation
steps will be determined by the water quality needed for safe and healthy reuse in households,
industry and urban agriculture. Innovative but proven robust technologies, will be incorporated in
a modular pilot treatment plant along the Barapullah drain. The programme consists of 3 research
lines (4 projects); research line one aims at Water Reuse Safety Plans and their socioeconomic
and legal impact in combination with quantitative risk assessments of the produced water
qualities. The second and third research line will focus on the pre- and post-treatment of
wastewater from the Barapullah drain, to make it available for safe reuse. Special attention will be
paid to pathogen removal and removing conventional and emerging pollutants.
This leads to development of reliable technologies, tools, models and approaches for local stakeholders
enabling market development for water reuse strategies and solutions for other Indian
Mega Cities.
