The descriptive analysis of the WTU and WTP (Table 6) brings to light that about 95% of the farmers have WTU the TWW for agriculture. It is observed that most of the farmers are experiencing severe water scarcity due to dry spells and parchedness in the region, so they have a strong WTU. However, only 7% of the farmers have WTP for the TWW reuse. The response is that the return benefits from agriculture are very low, so it is impossible to pay for TWW reuse. This is further reinforced by the fact that the farmers who are taking agriculture as their part-time profession have relatively higher WTP than the group taking it as a full-time profession.
