The key to sustainable water management.

Water, a finite and increasingly scarce resource, is under pressure from factors like climate change, population growth, urbanization, and over-exploitation. In response, water recycling has become essential for sustainable water management. Intelligent reclamation systems play a pivotal role in increasing water availability for various purposes while improving supply reliability. Compared to alternatives like seawater desalination or long-distance transportation, reclamation systems are more energy-efficient and cost-effective.

Through advanced treatment schemes, municipal wastewater can be efficiently reclaimed and reused, alleviating pressure on freshwater sources and fostering water conservation. Our technologies cater to all requirements for recycled water, removing organic and inorganic contaminants, turbidity, toxic substances, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, and helminth eggs.

WABAG offers tailored solutions using a wide range of established and innovative technologies, including Coagulation/Flocculation, Clarification, Filtration, Oxidation, Ultrafiltration, Reverse Osmosis, and Ion Exchange. With over three decades of experience, WABAG has implemented 70 schemes worldwide, pioneering modern water reclamation concepts.

Transforming Municipal Wastewater for Reuse in Irrigation for Cities and Agriculture

WABAG has developed numerous used water treatment plants, focusing on the reuse of treated water for urban, agricultural, and industrial purposes. In Madinaty, a new satellite city near Cairo, an 80 MLD three-stage WWTP purifies water for irrigation of the city’s green spaces. Other notable examples include Al Kharj Stage III, a 200 MLD WWTP in Saudi Arabia that supplies high-quality irrigation water, and the 120 MLD WWTP in Jubail Industrial City. The Madinat Salmen Water Reclamation Plant in Bahrain treats municipal wastewater for reuse in community green spaces, with a strong emphasis on environmental sensitivity.

Tunisia faces severe water scarcity, intensified by urban growth and increased demand. To combat this, Tunisia initiated the 3 Steps Project, constructing wastewater treatment plants for agricultural water reuse. WABAG contributed by building three small-scale municipal wastewater treatment plants – the SIDI BOU ALI, EL JEM, and QUERDANIN WWTPs, employing three-stage treatment processes. These plants ensure safe wastewater reuse for agricultural irrigation, promoting environmental sustainability and socio-economic development.

Producing Industrial Water from Municipal Wastewater

Additionally, in Chennai, WABAG’s 45 MLD Koyambedu TTRO plant treats municipal secondary treated water to achieve potable grade water, catering to industrial water needs and saving over 1600 Crore liters of freshwater annually. This initiative not only prioritizes potable water needs but also promotes robust revenue generation models for urban local bodies through the sale of treated water to industries, aligning with government policies on municipal-industrial partnerships.
