Rajkot faces high water stress and escalating demands across sectors, underscoring the critical need to integrate treated usedwater reuse into its sanitation framework. Despite attaining Water+ status under the Swachh Bharat Mission, challenges such as inadequate sanitation infrastructure, limited adoption, and continued reliance on groundwater hinder the city's progress in efficient usedwater management. This project aims to assess the feasibility of treated usedwater reuse in Rajkot and develop sustainable, scalable strategies for its effective utilization. By aligning with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) the initiative seeks to promote a circular economy approach, ensuring water security and advancing sanitation sustainability. The study will identify practical, innovative strategies to optimize treated usedwater reuse in agriculture, construction, municipal, industrial, and residential sectors. It will position Rajkot as a model for sustainable development, fostering resilience in water management while addressing infrastructure gaps and supporting the city's long-term water and sanitation needs.
