Overview
New Anaj Mandi Indri is a non-operational wastewater treatment plant in Indri, Haryana, India. It was designed to serve a population of 10,022.
New Anaj Mandi Indri is a wastewater treatment plant located in Indri, a town in the Karnal district of Haryana, India. The plant was built to serve a population of 10,022, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category for Indian wastewater infrastructure. The plant is currently non-operational. Under India's environmental regulations, wastewater treatment plants of this scale are typically expected to provide at least secondary treatment before discharge. Standard practice for similar facilities in Haryana involves biological treatment followed by disinfection. The plant's treated effluent would have been discharged into local water bodies that drain into the Yamuna River basin, a major tributary of the Ganges. The Yamuna River is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic life and providing water for irrigation and domestic use downstream. The non-operational status may impact local water quality in the surrounding area.
Environmental context
The plant is located in the Yamuna River basin, which ultimately drains into the Ganges River and then the Bay of Bengal. The Yamuna River is a critical water source for northern India, supporting agriculture, drinking water, and biodiversity. The non-operational status of this plant could contribute to untreated wastewater entering local streams, affecting downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystems.
Frequently asked questions
New Anaj Mandi Indri is located in Indri, a town in the Karnal district of Haryana, India. Its full address is Indri, Karnal, Haryana, 132041, India.
The plant was designed to serve a population of 10,022 people, placing it in the small to medium agglomeration category.
The plant is currently listed as non-operational, which means it is not actively treating wastewater.
In India, wastewater treatment plants are regulated under the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the Environment Protection Act, 1986. The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and state pollution control boards set discharge standards and issue permits.
For small to medium agglomerations in India, typical treatment includes secondary biological processes such as activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors, followed by disinfection. The treated effluent must meet CPCB standards for discharge into inland surface waters.
