Total water management and TDS

Context for the attached diagram on total water and TDS management

We were ​planning to set ​up a new plant ​but there is no ​additional ​ source of ​water.. ​existing ​bore  ​wells  ​were getting ​dry and yield ​is lower . ​

The viability ​of  new ​plant is at ​risk due to ​water scarcity. ​

In sumner it ​was severe due ​to less ​availability of ​fresh water. ​

Need to ​reconcile water ​quantity and ​TDS  at ​every stage., ​Losses can only ​be limited ​to   ​vaporization ​and product ​carry over ​losses,normally.​    ​

The actual ​consumption is ​much more than ​that and excess ​wastewater gets ​into drain ​which of  ​course  ​can be reused ​based usage ​quality specs.​  ​

3 R. Reduce, ​Reuse, Recycle. ​Use all treated ​water from ​sewage and ​effluent plants ​in addition to ​storm water, ​rain water, ​cooling tower ​overflow etc. ​Identify the ​usage vis a vis ​qualify. Try to ​use treated ​water for floor ​cleaning toilet ​flushing, civil ​construction, ​gardening, ​cooling towers, ​air washers etc.​ Make the ​access of ​treated water ​easy. Ensure ​zero discharge ​into drain. ​

Every water ​is precious. ​Shivaram +91-​9731563404 ​

      1. Need to reconcile water quantity and TDS  at every stage., Losses can onky be limited to   vaporization and product carry over losses .nirmally   the actual consumption is much more than that and excess wastewater gets into drain which of  course  can be reused based usage quality specs. 

      2. 3 R. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Use all treated water from sewage and effluent plants in addition to storm water, rain water, cooling tower overflow etc. Identify the usage vis a vis qualify. Try to use treated water for floor cleaning toilet flushing, civil construction, gardening, cooling towers, air washers etc. Make the aceess of treated water easy. Ensure zero discharge into drain.

      3. Thank you, so the attached is a schematic of how you solved this? Can you explain the methodology?
