Dr. S. R. Wate, Director of National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) pointed out that 70 per cent water was being lost. ‘We can recycle this unused water and bring down our water bills. The problem is not of availability but its is of proper management,’ he said and added that workshop would definitely take steps in that direction.”
