Water4Crops

Water4Crops project involves multidisciplinary issues of water management, provides an opportunity to efficiently utilize low quality industrial (food) and municipal wastewater and facilitate developing various technologies for wastewater treatment and its feasible use in agriculture. This project would also describe practical solutions of wastewater treatment and its management which open-up various avenues to scale-up such technologies. Treatment and management of wastewater would not only reduce freshwater demand in agriculture but also helps in protecting groundwater contamination and water quality at downstream water bodies. Multiple uses of scarce water resources through science-based interventions are proposed in this EU-India proposal to find solutions for the most important pillar of sustainable development.
