Greywater Remediation at Hassanpur Village Pond, Murthal, Haryana
Problem Statement :
Over the past two decades, the primary water source for this village Pond has been the greywater and sewage generated by the surrounding village households, resulting in a consistent supply of contaminated Water. However, the area is plagued by foul odour and the stagnant waterbody serves as a breeding ground for mosquitoes, leading to the spread of vector-borne illnesses. The surrounding region is littered with solid waste, rendering the water
unsuitable for any form of life – all contributing towards WASH (Water, Sanitation & Hygiene) problems for the entire
village.

Solution :
WSAFE-NBS® Technology – A NBS Solution based on Phytoecoremediation
By leveraging WSAFE-NBS® Technology, we can resurrect the native microbiota of the Waterbody augmenting the natural ecosystem in ponds, lakes, and rivers through harnessing the power of sunlight, water, soil, air and the aquatic food chain to consume & digest the nutrients overload.
This process involves breaking down organic matter in wastewater using the native aerobic microbes. Moreover, the autotrophic microbiota also produces oxygen through their metabolic processes thereby naturally oxygenating the water body.
Industrial Wastewater & Greywater Remediation at Nagli Wazidpur Pond, Near Sector 135, Noida, Uttar Pradesh
Problem Statement :
The Nagli Wazidpur Pond was developed by local authorities to store treated industrial effluent (ETP outlet) with the objective of facilitating groundwater recharge. In addition to industrial discharge, the pond also receives greywater from a nearby Gaushala. Over time, the pond has become heavily polluted characterized by dense algal growth, dark blackish water, foul odour, and rampant mosquito breeding, all of which pose serious environmental and public health concerns.

Benefits of the project:
- Enhanced groundwater recharge
- Water Quality – Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels have increased to 5 mg/L, creating a healthier aquatic
environment and supporting the revival of aquatic life. - Increased Water Holding Capacity
- Elimination of Foul Odour and Mosquito Breeding
- Revival of Biodiversity
Greywater Remediation at Sadpura Pond, Faridabad, Haryana
Project Owner – Indo-Nordic Water Forum (consortium of Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland)
Background
The primary source of water for Sadpura Pond has been greywater and sewage discharged from over 500 households, resulting in a continuous influx of contaminated water. This has led to severe water quality degradation, including foul odour and stagnant conditions, turning the pond into a breeding ground for mosquitoes and contributing to the spread of vector-borne diseases.
WSAFE’s Involvement:
To tackle this critical issue of algal bloom and water quality, WSAFE was brought in to implement its Nature-
Based Solution (WSAFE-NBS). Our intervention specifically targets and resolves the algal bloom, addressing
the root cause of ecological imbalance in the pond. The project is currently ongoing.

Benefits of the project:
- Water Quality – Dissolved Oxygen (DO) levels have increased to 6 mg/L, creating a healthier aquatic environment and supporting the revival of aquatic life.
- Elimination of Foul Odour and Mosquito Breeding
- Revival of Biodiversity (animals started drinking the treated water)
- Total Organic Carbon (TOC) increased from 0.56% (acidic) to >1.02% (healthy and fertile)
