NEW DELHI: Chief Minister of Delhi Arvind Kejriwal stated that the government is taking radical steps to tackle Delhi’s water crisis which will be resolved within the next two–three years. He mentioned that the production of water has increased to 1,000 Million Gallons per Day (MGD) from 850 MGD in 2015.
The Delhi government has set a target to further enhance Delhi’s water production capacity to 1,200-1,300 MGD. “Achieving this goal will lead Delhiites to no longer face water shortages,” he added.
The government is planning to install tube wells in regions with high water-table which will enable the extraction of water on a large scale. An innovative approach will also be adopted to recharge groundwater by rejuvenating lakes with treated Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs). The recharged water will further undergo treatment in Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants before being supplied to the households.
STPs in Delhi are currently undergoing extensive modifications to ensure the highest standards of sewage treatment, with the goal to mitigate pollution and promote responsible water resource management, the CM stated.
