After the preparation of the City Sanitation Plan (CSP) of Kochi, India, GIZ has initiated this intervention among others. The recommendation of the CSP was to make an inventory of waste water discharge from the households, its effect on water bodies, create a baseline data comprising mapping of nonpoint sources of pollution, water quality assessment, etc., and to implement intermediate measure such as household sanitation systems.

The first greywater treatment plant was constructed for the Swiss Residence Hotel. Based on the experience gained by the Swiss Residence Hotel, further systems were implemented at the hotels Ivy Banks and Coral Sands.

It considers three problems which account for nearly three quarters of the environmental burden of disease: Water, sanitation and hygiene; indoor air pollution; and injuries.
