Okay so i was watching this podcast and found out amazing case from nagpur tier 2 city in india. the city treats sewage water and sells it to power plants + industries instead of using fresh water.
result: ~₹300(~$33m) crore in annual revenue.
waste water → revenue.
less pressure on rivers. industries get reliable supply, city gets paid instead of paying for disposal. This thing is running.
genuine question:
if this works in nagpur, what’s stopping other indian cities from doing the same? politics? infra cost? public perception? And is it happening in your country too?
cities making money from sewage??

idk in my city all the sewage lines are owned by mobsters
In my area (US) the sewage is composted and then I buy my poop back as low grade fertilizer at Home Depot. How does the treated water create electricity in India?
