[...] Objective of the Municipal Used Water Management index Considering the importance of TUW, the objective of this research study was to develop and compute the Municipal Used Water Management (MUWM) Index for ULBs in India, to assess their performance in used water management. [...] Methodology for the development and computation of the ULB-level MUWM index To assess the performance of the selected 503 ULBs in the management of used water, a MUWM assessment framework was developed. [...] Infrastructure The MUWM assessment The infrastructure theme assesses the extent of physical infrastructure for framework used water management at the ULB level – the existing used water treatment consists of 5 capacity, network coverage for sewerage and drainage, and water quality of themes and 25 water bodies. [...] As per our analysis of the index results, one of the key reasons for this is the average performance of ULBs in the thematic areas of finance and data and information, with ULBs scoring an average of 0.47 and 0.93 out of 3, respectively.
