Kaluwas Village Wastewater Treatment Plant - Haryana, India

Kaluwas Village wastewater treatment plant is located in Kaluwas, Rewari district, Haryana, India. The facility serves a population of approximately 43,428, classifying it as a medium-sized agglomeration under Indian urban wastewater management frameworks. Under India's environmental regulations, wastewater treatment plants serving populations above 10,000 are typically required to meet secondary treatment standards, with larger agglomerations often mandated to adopt advanced treatment technologies to comply with the National Green Tribunal and Central Pollution Control Board guidelines. The treated effluent from the plant is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Yamuna River basin, a major tributary of the Ganges. This region supports agricultural activities and provides water for downstream communities, making effective wastewater treatment critical for maintaining water quality and public health.

The plant's discharge contributes to the Yamuna River basin, which flows through Haryana and Delhi before joining the Ganges. The Yamuna is a vital water source for irrigation and drinking water, but faces significant pollution pressures from urban and industrial sources. Effective treatment at plants like Kaluwas Village helps reduce nutrient and pathogen loads, protecting downstream aquatic ecosystems and human health.
