India is the second largest consumer of water in the world. Due to rapid population growth, the rapid expansion of agriculture and industry, and the modernization of society, the demand for water is constantly increasing. The year 2025 is frequently mentioned, after which the supply of clean water can no longer be ensured nationwide.

At the same time, municipal and industrial wastewater is usually not or only inadequately treated and leads to a considerable burden on the environment as well as on human health. Incorrect design and dimensioning as well as a lack of know-how in operational management are often the reasons for the inability of existing wastewater treatment plants to function.

The feasibility study “India Show Case Plant”, which is funded by the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU) within the scope of the Export Initiative Environmental Technologies, addresses these problems. In a one-hour event, we would like to present the project from its inception to its current status and discuss cooperation opportunities and needs.
