    The document discusses alternative energy sources for wastewater treatment plants. It notes that as India industrializes and urbanizes, rivers are becoming more polluted due to insufficient wastewater treatment. The operation and maintenance costs of treatment plants can be unsustainable due to unreliable power supply and high energy consumption. Typically 30% of operation costs go towards energy use. To increase efficiency and reduce costs, the document proposes using a combination of solar energy and hydropower from rivers, which would be more sustainable and environmentally friendly options.

    To accessing clean water and sanitation is most pervasive problem afflicting people
    throughout the world. India is one of the fastest developing countries in the world. Due to
    the industrialization and urbanization rivers are also getting polluted, because of
    insufficient and inefficient wastewater treatment plant (WTP). Indias government
    enlarges investment in the field of WTP with its ascending economic strength, but the
    subsequent operation and maintenance cost can be insufficient, which makes some WTPs
    not work at all or work abnormally. Troublesome associated with this inefficiency is due
    to the discontinuous power supply as well as energy consumption. Typically, 30% of
    operating cost of a wastewater treatment plant is budgeted for energy use. In an era where
    there are concerns about the adequacy of fuel supplies , cost of energy and the
    increasingly higher level of treatment that result in increased energy consumption, the
    design and operation of WTPs are focused increasingly on improving the efficiency of
    electric energy used and reducing the cost of treatment.
    To overcome this situation or to increase the efficiency and least power consumption,
    combination of solar energy and flow energy of river methods will be the suitable option
    as well as environmental friendly.
