Here's a sentence you don't get to write often in a wastewater industry publication: scientists have made concrete stronger by mixing in human waste, and the data actually backs it up. A team led by civil engineer Raghuvesh Tiwari at Manipal University Jaipur has shown that biochar made from treated fecal sludge, when used to partially replace cement, can increase concrete's compressive strength by up to 21 percent and its flexural strength by as much as 42 percent. The study, accepted for publication in the journal Scientific Reports, was published September 5, 2026.
There's a genuinely strange thing happening in Gurugram: the city is running out of groundwater and sitting on sewage-treatment capacity it isn't fully using, at the same time. The Punjab and Haryana High Court put this contradiction on the record on September 26, 2026, in a case over groundwater preservation in Gurugram's municipal limits, and the court's framing is worth taking seriously, because it reframes what looks like two separate problems as one connected failure.
Residents near Kondli have been complaining about a foul smell coming from the area's sewage treatment plant cluster, but according to the Delhi Pollution Control Committee's (DPCC) own laboratory testing, the treated water itself is meeting prescribed standards. The inspection, reported on September 26, 2026, found the odour complaint technically baseless as far as effluent quality is concerned, which is a more nuanced outcome than either
It started, as a lot of pollution stories now do, with a phone video.
