The problem
A 55 kilometer long effluent canal carries treated wastewater from the Effluent Treatment Plants (ETPs) of three large-scale industries viz., Gujarat State Fertilizers & Chemicals, IOCL Gujarat Refinery and Indian Petrochemicals Limited. It flows from Vadodara towards the sea coast. Water from the canal is used to irrigate farms whose produce is then sold in the Baroda markets. An estimated 120 million liters of treated wastewater annually moves through this canal.Current Activity
