INDO-GERMAN CONCLAVE PUSHES “INTEGRATED WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT”

The Indo-German Science & Technology Centre (IGSTC) held a high-level Strategic Conclave 2026 at Vigyan Bhawan on February 24. The event focused on “Integrated Water Resource Management” (IWRM) and brought together policymakers from both nations to discuss sustainable water governance. A key highlight was the “2+2 model,” which pairs German and Indian academic and industrial partners to develop scalable water technologies.  Discussions centered on the remediation of “emerging chemicals”—pollutants that are often missed by standard treatment processes—and the need for circular water economies. The German Ambassador, H.E. Dr. Philipp Ackermann,…

RE-ENGINEERING MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER TREATMENT: AN INSIGHT INTO THE TRANSFORMATION OF NANOBUBBLE TECHNOLOGY IN PRIMARY, SECONDARY & TERTIARY PROCESSES

Wastewater

Amit Kapur, Founder, Chairman & MD of NICO Nanobubble India Co. From Compliance to Competitive Advantage in Wastewater Treatment  Municipal and industrial wastewater treatment plants are no longer judged solely on discharge compliance. Today’s benchmarks extend to energy efficiency, footprint reduction, chemical minimisation, carbon intensity, reuse readiness, and resilience under fluctuating loads. Conventional process trains while proven are increasingly strained by tightening norms, rising power tariffs, land constraints, and sustainability mandates.  This is precisely where NICO Nanobubbles position itself not as a disruptive replacement, but as a high-impact process intensifier…
