Water sector audit enables efficient use of water and energy resources in Nagpur

A comprehensive water sector audit done by the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) in 2005 resulted in recommendations for improvement at two levels: water distribution and water supply energy efficiency to increase the efficiency of the treatment plants. This audit was the basis for a water sector energy efficiency master plan adopted by the NMC in 2006 and resulted in an innovative and successful initiative for the reuse of waste water in thermal power plants in 2008.
