Today, 1 in 3 people – around 2.2 billion of total population – live without safe drinking water on one hand, while on the other hand, a large volume of water is consumed for industrial purposes, which eventually generates a high amount of wastewater. Globally, 2 million tons of sewage, industrial and agricultural waste is discharged into the world's waterways thereby polluting more freshwater. Wastewater generally contains organic and toxic chemicals and hence is unfit for consumption without proper treatment. Considering these scenarios, utilization of wastewater and in-turn reducing the freshwater intake is how JSW Group as an organization has resolved to take part in resource conservation and play an important role to fight water waste.

All our plants operate on the principle of ‘ZERO LIQUID DISCHARGE’. JSW Energy plants are designed to manage the discharge of process waste water internally by using the approach of recycle, recovery and reuse eliminating the need of discharging the waste effluents outside the premises. This way JSWEL also ensures maximizing the recovery of freshwater and minimizing the effluent volume. Waste water is treated and recycled in the water use cycle or diverted for horticulture use. Through our “Better Every day” program, we ensure our unwavering commitment to water conservation. In line with our sustainability strategy
