Water Disposal
The disposal of treated sewage is done after daily testing as per EMP. This sewage water is reused as construction water, landscape irrigation and dual flushing. This practice reduces water wastage. |

Rain water management
With the help of Continuous Contour Trenching a number of areas within Lavasa were able to achieve greenery. Rain water management has become an integrated part of the environment plans after achieving favourable results at the Nature Trail. |

Biodiversity
Initiatives are undertaken particularly for the conservation and restoration of existing flora and fauna. Practices such as slash and burn cultivation and tree cutting were stopped through mass awareness. During development of Lavasa, the maintenance and enhancement of the current environment and biodiversity has been a priority. |

Bio-diversity Enhancement
Techniques such as mass plantation of trees, shrubs and stumps, manual seeding and hydroseeding for greenery generation and mass fertigation for soil nutrient enrichment have enhanced Lavasa’s greenery and bio-diversity. |

Tree Plantation & Transplantation
Along with tree plantations, efforts are dedicated to preservation of the old trees of Lavasa. Tree transplantation is undertaken wherever possible. When required, old trees were transplanted to new locations instead of cutting them entirely. Top fertile soil is also preserved and stored for further use in landscaping. |
