Yamuna clean-up: Delhi Jal Board targets 6 most polluting drains for in situ treatment

The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) plans to roll out an in situ water treatment plan for six of the city’s largest and most polluted drains, officials said on Wednesday.

These drains, led by the heavily polluted Najafgarh and Supplementary drains, collectively dump around 1,050 million gallons per day (MGD) of sewage mixed with untreated wastewater directly into the Yamuna.

“In situ treatment is when the waste flowing in the drain is treated within the drain itself. We have invited private experts in the field to come up with the ideas for the ways this plan can be further executed,” a DJB official told PTI.
