The work taken up includes lift irrigation projects, construction of small check dams, rainwater harvesting, promotion of horticulture and timber plantation, promotion of composting and cattle vaccination.

The various initiatives taken up include effluent treatment at the source to conserve water and ammonia, using boiler blow down as make up to cooling tower, using treated effluents for green belt development, maximum possible recycling of process/steam condensate, cooling water treatment optimisation, boiler water treatment, installing flow meters, rainwater harvest

This presentation explains the work of Indian Farmers' Fertiliser Cooperative Limited (IFFCO) in conserving water, in its industrial processes, through recycling and reducing water usage. Methods used were increasing cycle of concentration of cooling, recycling of turbine condensate, installing water spraying system in guard pond, effluent treatment based on steam stripper and reuse in processes, and rainwater harvesting.
