The thermal plants in Ballari and Raichur can cut costs by using waste water thus reducing the stress on fresh water in the two cities where people get less water than the standards fixed by the Union government, researchers from the National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS) found. People in Ballari and Raichur get 100 litres per capita per day (lpcd), which is much lower than the 135 lpcd stipulated by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs.
