Overview
Anasagar is a proposed wastewater treatment plant in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, designed to serve a population of 21,503. It will contribute to managing municipal wastewater in the region.
Anasagar is a proposed wastewater treatment plant located in Ajmer, Rajasthan, India, along NH58. Designed to serve a population of 21,503, it is part of the city's infrastructure planning for wastewater management. The plant is currently in the proposed stage, indicating it has not yet been constructed or operationalized. As a proposed facility in India, Anasagar will be subject to the country's environmental regulations, including the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and standards set by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). For a population of this scale, typical treatment requirements include secondary treatment to meet discharge standards. The plant's design and treatment process will be finalized during implementation. The plant is located inland, more than 50 km from the coast, and its treated effluent is expected to discharge into a local water body, likely a river or stream in the Luni River basin or an internal drainage system. Proper treatment will help protect local water resources and downstream ecosystems in the semi-arid region of Rajasthan.
Environmental context
Anasagar is situated in Ajmer, Rajasthan, within the Luni River basin, which drains into the Rann of Kutch in Gujarat. The region is semi-arid, and local water bodies are ecologically sensitive, supporting diverse aquatic life and serving as important water sources for agriculture and communities. The proposed plant will help reduce pollution in these water bodies, safeguarding downstream habitats and water quality.
