Sector targets 1.Increase the present wastewater collection (60%) and treatment (8%) to 80% collection and treatment by 2015, and 95% collection and treatment by Increase reuse of treated effluent from zero percent in 2010 to 20% by 2015, and 50% by Secondary treatment and reuse of all inland wastewater by 2020, and secondary treatment and reuse of coastal wastewater where reuse is economically justified by Pre-treatment of all industrial effluents by Full recovery of O&M costs by 2020 following the ‘polluter pays’ principle.
