In order to manage these risks, we have an established system in place for water conservation that includes a business plan for specific water reduction initiatives, and identification and implementation of an action plan followed by periodic monitoring at operational and company levels. In order to enhance the water retention capacity of the areas where operations are located in, we have planted more than 1.59 million plants in total, out of which 53,630 have been planted in 2017-18. Mass planting was carried out in a forest area of 75 Ha (23,500 plants) through Van Suraksha Evam Prabandh Samiti. Hindustan Zinc set up a 20 million litres per day Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) which treat sewage water of Udaipur city. This treated water is being used in our operations located in Dariba as alternative source of fresh water and reducing fresh water requirement by ~85%. We are further planning to increase the STP by another 40 MLD to treat the 100% sewage of Udaipur city and use of fresh water to the negligible at our RD site.
