Andhra Pradesh approved the Policy on Reuse of Treated Used Water, 2026, with the objective of improving water security, promoting climate resilience, and supporting sustainable urban development. Aligned with the Swarna Andhra Vision 2047, the policy aims to meet at least 20% of urban water demand through treated wastewater reuse. It also mandates the use of treated water in sectors such as thermal power plants, construction, and urban services while encouraging industrial reuse. The policy includes phased implementation across all Urban Local Bodies and promotes efficient water management through modern infrastructure and monitoring systems.
