Bengaluru BAF Inks MoU with BWSSB for Treated Water Sale

Bengaluru Airport Foundation (BAF) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) to facilitate the sale of treated water at the rate of Rs 8 per kilolitre. This agreement aims to promote sustainable water management practices and address water scarcity challenges in the region.

Under the MoU, BAF will purchase treated water from BWSSB and utilise it for non-potable purposes, such as landscaping, airside maintenance, and other operational requirements at the Bengaluru airport. The initiative underscores BAF's commitment to environmental sustainability and responsible water usage.

The collaboration between BAF and BWSSB represents a significant step towards promoting water conservation and reducing dependence on freshwater sources for non-potable applications. By harnessing treated wastewater, the initiative contributes to water resource optimization and mitigates the environmental impact of airport operations.

The sale of treated water at a nominal rate of Rs 8 per kilolitre is expected to provide an alternative revenue stream for BWSSB while supporting its efforts in wastewater treatment and reuse. The partnership with BAF also highlights the potential for public-private collaboration in addressing water management challenges.

As Bengaluru Airport Foundation embarks on this sustainable water management initiative in partnership with BWSSB, stakeholders anticipate positive environmental outcomes and enhanced water resilience for the region. The agreement sets a precedent for similar collaborations aimed at promoting water sustainability and fostering responsible resource management in urban areas.
