Companies and R&D-institutes in the field of communal and industrial water supply and wastewater disposal work together in the INDO-GERMAN WATER network.

Target is to develop and carry out projects concerning planning or rehabilitation of wastewater disposal and water supply systems that lead to a sustainable and economical system operation. This is the base to provide water supply and wastewater disposal for humans and industrial purpose regarding to people´s health, economical development and environmental protection. 

Special working areas of the partners are:

• Design of water and wastewater systems
• Rehabilitation of water and wastewater systems
• Computer simulation of urban drainage systems (e.g. for design purposes or to prevent flooding in settlement areas)
• Decentralized water supply and wastewater treatment systems
• Industrial wastewater treatment and recycling systems
• Environmental technologies and sustainable development
• Water recycling and reuse
• Treatment of water for potable use and wastewater treatment
• Technical training and knowledge transfer

Engineering Consultants Scheer
Engineering Consultants Scheer work in the field of urban drainage systems – wastewater disposal, water pollution control, system optimisation, computer simulation and data management. Experience in design and R&D combined with high motivation to improve human and environmental situations are fundaments of the work. We consider technical, economical and ecological aspects and the people who operate the systems or who are affected by them. Depending on the needs, basic conventional tasks as well as high-tech solutions are offered to clients and partners - wastewater system operators, industry, other engineering offices or R&D institutes. Whether as project leader or participant - sharing competences in networks to multiply benefits for clients and partners is a matter of course and pleasure.

University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich, Institute of Hydroscience, Sanitary Engineering and Waste Management
The Professorship of Sanitary Engineering and Waste Management is a part of the Institute of Hydroscience at the University of the Federal Armed Forces Munich. It has a staff of 12 scientists and 5 employees at the laboratory; the head is Mr. Prof. Günthert.
Selected recent topics of research concerning this project are:

• Risk analysis in water supply companies
• Optimisation of water and waste water treatment plants
• Operation costs and cost efficiency of water and waste water treatment plants
• Simulation of urban runoff and sewer systems
• Rehabilitation of private drainage systems

The experimental and analytical equipment contains a laboratory for water, soil and air analysis, mobile and online-analyzers and other various testing facilities.
Within the Network “Planning and Rehabilitation of communal and industrial water supply and wastewater disposal systems in India” we focus on rehabilitation strategies of sewer and water pipe systems.

tandler.com Environmental Informatics ltd.
Tandler.com has created the software platform ++SYSTEMS, offering solutions for all concerning tasks in water and wastewater disposal management. Its modular structure permits municipalities and engineers to individually compose perfectly adapted software packages, covering planning, administration and calculation of sewer networks as well as of water and gas supplying facilities.

Nearly 30 years of experience in the sector have led to some of the most advanced, accurate and fast solutions to calculate and describe the behaviour of rain- and wastewater discharge in public and private sewer networks and on the surface under all kinds of meteorological conditions. The complex parallel step method in particular, has set new standards in precision and efficiency for hydrodynamic calculation methods, combining perfectly the potential of multiprocessing technology with an unsurpassed mathematical model.

BayIND
The Bavarian-Indian Centre (BayIND) aims to coordinate and promote the Indo-Bavarian economic and higher educational ties. BayIND has been set up by the Bavarian State Ministry of Sciences, Research and the Arts as a central service institution and networking platform for universities and companies in India and Bavaria. Building on the rich existing co-operations between Bavaria and India, BayIND will help to bundle the efforts of both countries in order to generate synergies and to further deepen the bilateral cooperation.
Aims of BayIND:
deepening the co-operation between Indian and Bavarian higher education institutes by

• student and teaching staff exchange
• research co-operations between India and Germany
• intensive ties between universities and economy

fostering the relations between Indian and Bavarian enterprises by

• support of companies (esp. SMEs) with contacts to India and Bavaria
• internships in German and Indian companies 
• information services and networking platform for enterprises and universities
• e.g. organisation of annual conferences

University of Stuttgart, Institute for Sanitary Engineering, Water Quality and Solid Waste Management (ISWA)
The ISWA is a facility of research and education of the University of Stuttgart, Germany. Its full-scale sewage treatment plant for research and education is unique throughout Europe. More than 100 experts from various engineering and natural sciences work together on a interdisciplinary basis. Our principal areas of expertise are the classical engineering tasks in the environmental fields of water, wastewater, solid waste, soil and exhaust air.

Within the Network “Planning and Rehabilitation of communal and industrial water supply and wastewater disposal systems in India” we focus on low-cost and state-of-the-art-technologies for the treatment of water for potable use, for wastewater treatment as well as water recycling. All necessary facilities, from the research treatment plant, laboratories to the technical library and computer workstations, are available for research. Our laboratories are excellently equipped for extensive investigations in a wide variety of environmental fields. We have a large amount of (online) measuring equipment for experiments on a laboratory scale, semi-technical scale and full scale.

The network activities support the information exchange concerning general conditions in the Indian and German water and wastewater sectors. Furthermore project ideas will be discussed. Based on the most promising ideas, teams will be formed to concretize projects and their boundary conditions, e.g. financing.
 
The following activities will be carried out:

• 4 Workshops in India to intensify information exchange, networking and project implementation
• A website presenting Indian and German partners, project ideas and activity status
• A database of Indian and German institutes and companies working in the field of water and wastewater, especially focused on R&D and networking
• International and national publications
• A conference in India
