Potential impacts downstream and the techno-institutional context need to be addressed with WWRU as one strategy to reduce water stress. Three challenges with WWRU are discussed using data from the study of wastewater treatment, an analysis of ongoing debates regarding the scale of treatment, and an ongoing study of the downstream uses and impacts of polluted water. Bangalore’s wastewater enters the Vrishabhavathy and the Pinakini river basins in almost equal quantities. This study focuses on the Vrishabhavathy River.application/pdfenCATCHMENT HYDROLOGYWASTEWATER TREATMENTINDIAWATER MANAGEMENTWATER QUALITYCONTAMINATIONSEWAGERIVER BASINSSOUTH ASIAEFFLUENTSWATERSHED MANAGEMENTConference Report
