The Delhi Government has announced a series of major initiatives aimed at strengthening water conservation in the national capital, addressing rising demand and the challenges of depleting groundwater levels.
Officials stated that the measures include large-scale rainwater harvesting projects, revival of traditional water bodies, and stricter monitoring of groundwater extraction to ensure sustainable usage.
The government will expand rooftop rainwater harvesting systems across schools, government buildings, and residential colonies, making it mandatory in new constructions.
Plans also include rejuvenation of lakes and ponds, with special focus on restoring ecological balance and improving water storage capacity in urban areas.
Awareness campaigns will be launched to encourage citizens to adopt water-saving practices, supported by community-driven initiatives and partnerships with resident welfare associations.
Authorities emphasized that these steps are part of a broader strategy to secure Delhi’s water future, reduce dependence on external sources, and promote long-term sustainability.
