Purification and reutilisation of waste water from different industries is a challenge for a smarter and healthier environment. An important role in Indian economy is played by an agro based industry segment which is nothing but sugar industry. But the effluent from the industry is a proven fact as a threat for environment. Effective waste water management can result in smart and healthy city environment. The treated colored effluent from the industry is not preferred for reuse and recycle, though the other BOD, COD, TDS, TSS, MPN are in permissible limit. Root zone technique is one of the important approaches for, as the process is economical, easy in operation and maintenance. Pilot plant is constructed and executed using a typical species. The intake of treated effluent and the final effluent from root zone technique were collected and tested for various contact hours. To accommodate the massive urbanization it can be used to find smarter ways to reduce expenses, manage complexities that’s the treated waste water from industry can serve for following: 1) Gardening 2) Fire Fighting 3) Washing 4) Toilet Flushing etc. For a better and smart management of treated waste.
