Sewage and factory effluents flowing into the Yamuna through a drain in east Delhi are being innovatively recycled so as to protect the river and prevent contamination of groundwater.
In the first intervention of its kind, the DJB is using a technological process provided by a startup, Alcantarilla Limpiar Equipo. The initiative is still at a pilot stage on the banks of the Yamuna near Akshardham.
The effluents are being cleaned to the extent that they can be reused and in the future, even made safe to drink. At the very least, the treated water will cause no pollution. . .
