Bangalore to Recycle Used Water for Drinking Purposes
The Khaleej Times reports that one of India’s most populated cities is addressing increased demand for water by investigating procedures to treat used water.
Bangalore goes through 1.2 billion liters (about 317 million gallons) of water per day, but the current supply leaves a shortfall of over 250 million liters each day.
Under the proposed plan, the used water will be collected and filtered, the city can supply an additional 135 million liters per day. This should be completed in 2010.
This will still create a shortfall for Bangalore residents of over 100 million liters, and the city has not figured out a way to address this yet. One option is water conservation techniques around the home.

Recycling Water? What were they landfilling it previously. I don’t get it.
