Water governance Pavitra Ganga

PAVITRA GANGA created policy and social support for innovative technologies and concepts through a co-creation process in which stakeholders are engaged in the framing of the problem and the creation of promising water management solutions. As wastewater treatment and reuse schemes pose health hazards to both operators and users, the project developed adequate safety plans.

Objectives

  • Analyse (successful and unsuccessful) water governance systems across India and internationally for delivering improved wastewater treatment, re-use and resource recovery solutions.
  • Identify critical water quality issues and related socio-economic problems.
  • Develop structured decision support processes and multi-criteria decision analysis models to support regional water management in the case study areas.
  • Develop technology specific sanitation safety plans to assess, prioritise and mitigate exposure risks associated to wastewater treatment and reuse.
