Jamshedpur, the beautiful city in Jharkhand is all set and moving forward on track in becoming the first city in the country to be a “zero sewerage discharge city.” In order to accomplish this, the city will employ a Zero Liquid Discharge System, which averts sewerage water from inflowing the city’s waterways. We bet you are wondering what that is.
Well, let us tell you that this system will recycles the sewage water and removes the dissolved solids and other wastes from the water and returns clean and distilled water.
Rabindra Kumar Singh, the Deputy General Manager (Water Management) of the Jamshedpur Utilities and Service Company Limited, said that the initiative to recycle and reuse 100% waste and sewage water has already begun. He added, “JUSCO had been making efforts to minimize water leakage and reuse the sewerage water after being recycled at its two treatment plants at Bistupur and Bara.”
The currently operational waste water treatment plant has a capacity of 10 million litres per day. The Bara treatment plant can treat up neary 30 million litres of sewerage and waste water every day. In the coming one year, it is possible that JUSCO could use again the 40 million litres recycled water every day for industrial and farming purposes in the city.
