Indore Municipal Corporation Plans Major Water Reuse Infrastructure Project
What happened
The Indore Municipal Corporation is planning the 'Jal Hi Amrit' project, which aims to reuse approximately 3 crore litres of treated sewage water daily. The proposal includes constructing four tertiary treatment plants with a combined capacity of 30 million litres per day and establishing a Rs 21.59 crore distribution network. The plan was reviewed during a municipal meeting chaired by Pushyamitra Bhargav, which also included Abhishek Sharma and Ashish Kumar.

Why it matters
The project represents a significant capital expenditure aimed at diversifying water sources for non-drinking uses, such as road washing, construction, and industrial supply. This initiative is tied to the Urban Challenge Fund and seeks to reduce the reliance on fresh water sources like Narmada water for municipal needs.
