14. Wastewater in the Ganges
as an Opportunity

The gap is enormous and novel approaches and technologies to limit effluents ending
up in the river are critical. For instance, the effluents in Ganga are:

15. IWDP
39 Projects targeting industrial effluents
April 2013
Bottom-up PPP structures are at the core of the IWDP platform which is actively
bringing “structuring innovation in projects”. A viable PPP is the only way for EU
companies in the water and wastewater sectors to partner Indian businesses.

Major polluting segments in the Ganga river basin are being approached
differentially to develop projects that suit the local needs and provides
an optimal solution for each industrial subsectors such as
– Pulp & Paper
– Distilleries
– Tanneries

Financing from multiple sources such as government of India,
multilateral agencies and other venture funds active in the
environmental field are in process of being tied-up

5 of the 39 projects will be initiated between Nov 2013 – Feb 2014.
The others will be phased between Apr 2014 – Apr 2016.
