Study Sites
Saph Pani will perform case studies on eight different sites. In work package 1 bank filtration as a natural water system and (pre-)treatment technology will be addressed in four case studies in urban areas in North India, namely Haridwar, Srinagar, Nainital and Delhi. In work package 2 managed aquifer recharge will be investigated in the rural site Maheshwaram and the urban sites Chennai and Raipur. In work package 3 a natural wetland with soil aquifer treatment near Hyderabad (Musi River Watershed) and a specially designed and constructed wetland in Mumbai will deliver “hands-on” knowledge and data for further interpretation. The case study sites are situated in different geographic and climatic situations, addressing natural phenomena such as drought, flood and saltwater infiltration.
