Delhi | Wednesday | 19th February, 2020

Summary:

New Delhi: Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Wednesday said that there has been a significant improvement in the availability of drinking water in Delhi, especially in the summer seasons for the last two years. He said that the Delhi government had developed a detailed plan to further improve drinking water availability in the Capital. We have around 500 mgd supply which is roughly 50 per cent of Delhi's water demand. It has not been extracted because you have new kind of pollutants that have contaminated that water supply as well," added Srivastava. The project involves the creation of water bodies to store water and promote groundwater recharge along the floodplains, said Srivastava..
