Indian Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: With the population explosion in Delhi, the demand of water has increased many folds. Delhi Jal Board could not get raw water in required quantity from the river Yamuna for supply of treated water to the people and as such extraction of ground-water has become necessary for it. The groundwater is also depleting at a faster rate and if no measures to check and control the same are taken, a situation will come when water will become a scarcity item. It has become necessary to conserve water, avoid over utilisation of groundwater and at the same time re-charge groundwater, recycle water after treating waste water, etc., so that the additional requirement of raw water is minimised. The treatment of sewage is an essential part of the civic activity and if this is also made to serve as strategy for water resource management, it shall serve dual purpose at less cost. Therefore, we should adopt such type of arrangements which not only improve the environment by treated waste water but also recycle the treated effluent. - Reproduced.
