Industrial effluents and municipal wastewater are increasingly finding their way into freshwater bodies, posing serious health and environmental challenges. In this paper, the potential for industrial wastewater remediation through agroforestry is explored for a peri urban farming region in India.
Allocative efficiency in a thermal power sector can be defined as the equalisation of marginal abatement costs (MACs) across power plants for a given emission cap. Computation of the MAC (loss in electricity generation per unit reduction in emission generation) requires specification of the emission-generating technology.
