Rampur Road Near Hanuman Murti Tiraha Gulabbari Wastewater Treatment Plant, Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh

Rampur Road Near Hanuman Murti Tiraha Gulabbari is a wastewater treatment plant currently under construction in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Located on SH49, the facility is designed to serve a population of 387,509, reflecting the scale of municipal wastewater management required for this rapidly urbanizing city in the Ganges basin. As a plant under construction, specific treatment processes and capacity details are not yet finalized. However, under India's National Mission for Clean Ganga (NMCG) and the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, large-scale plants serving populations over 100,000 are typically required to implement secondary or tertiary treatment to meet effluent standards before discharge into water bodies. The plant will treat wastewater from Moradabad, a city in the Ramganga River sub-basin of the Ganges system. The treated effluent is expected to be discharged into local drains that eventually flow into the Ramganga River, a tributary of the Ganges. This contributes to the broader effort to reduce pollution in the Ganges, which supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for millions downstream.

The plant lies within the Ramganga River sub-basin, part of the larger Ganges drainage system. The Ramganga flows into the Ganges, which ultimately reaches the Bay of Bengal. This region supports a variety of aquatic species, including the Ganges river dolphin and numerous fish species. Effective wastewater treatment here is critical to reducing nutrient and pathogen loads that can harm downstream ecosystems and communities.
