India targets 50% urban wastewater recycling by 2030 under Water Vision 2047

Water Vision 2047 aims for water security using river-basin management and a circular water economy. The government plans to recycle 50% of urban wastewater by 2030 and over 80% by 2047.

Key strategies

The plan involves micro-irrigation expansion through Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchayee Yojana and groundwater management under Atal Bhujal Yojana, Mission Amrit Sarovar, and Jal Shakti Abhiyan. National Water Informatics Centre helps create master plans for 20 major river basins.

Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari encourages groundwater recharge by using a 3C approach of community, CSR, and cost-effective work. State Water Reform Framework launched in May 2026 also helps states use data for water management.
