The rest, alarmingly, ends up contaminating rivers, lakes, and the land. This crucial information was unveiled by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), underscoring the urgent need for enhanced wastewater management to mitigate this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Director General of the National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG), Rajiv Kumar Mital, emphasized the importance of not only treating water but also utilizing it effectively. He stated, &#8221;Using and disposing of treated water without harnessing its potential means we are losing out on utilizing an important resource. The challenge is to scale up and ensure that the work we do in this sector is impactful.&#8221; This highlights the potential benefits that could arise from addressing this pressing issue. The Jal Shakti Ministry has put forth a mandate for cities to recycle and reuse at least 20% of their water consumption. This directive aligns with the broader objective of fostering a circular economy, which is vital for a sustainable and climate-resilient future. It addresses the critical need for managing the increasing demand for freshwater in a country that is facing significant environmental and water-related challenges.<\/p>\n<p>The report from the Centre for Science and Environment sheds light on the critical need for improved wastewater treatment and reuse in India. By exploring the benefits of a circular economy and the potential for water sustainability, it calls for immediate action to address the urban water crisis. With significant portions of untreated wastewater flowing into natural bodies, the need for concerted efforts in this direction has never been more pronounced.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nativeplanet.com\/news\/indias-urban-water-crisis-only-28-of-wastewater-treated-011-014745.html\">Native Planet<\/a><\/p>\n<p>[\/newsletter_lock]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/5-648\/\">India&#8217;s Urban Water Crisis: Only 28% Of Wastewater Treated<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[575,1111,2885,9248],"class_list":["post-136084","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-india","tag-wastewater","tag-water-crisis"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136084","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136084"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136084\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136084"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136084"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136084"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
