The growing urbanization in Indian cities has led to an increased demand for clean and safe drinking water, highlighting the need for advanced water treatment infrastructure. Water treatment plants (WTPs) play a critical role in ensuring the provision of potable water by removing contaminants and maintaining public health. This paper discusses the current state of water treatment plants in Indian cities and explores future strategies to address challenges such as rapid population growth, water pollution, and climate change. It highlights the necessity of adopting sustainable water treatment technologies, including advanced filtration systems, membrane technology, and energy-efficient solutions. Additionally, it emphasizes the integration of smart water management systems and automation to enhance operational efficiency and reduce wastage. As water scarcity becomes a pressing issue in many regions, the paper underscores the importance of decentralized water treatment systems, rainwater harvesting, and wastewater recycling in meeting future water demands. The research also explores the potential of utilizing renewable energy sources in WTP operations to reduce environmental impact. The development of resilient and future-proof water treatment infrastructure is critical for ensuring a consistent and safe water supply for growing urban populations in India.
