Recommendations<br />
1. A significant proportion of investment should be in physical and ecological<br />
interventions so as to maintain and conserve the ecological and hydrological<br />
character of the wetlands, which at present is under stress due to rapidly<br />
increasing anthropogenic pressures.<br />
2. As it appears from the present investigation, the hydrological functions comprise<br />
of 39.35% of the total economic value. Hence to maintain the ground water<br />
recharge potential of the floodplains, it is imperative to prevent any fresh<br />
civic structure to come up in these areas. This is necessary because fresh<br />
ground water resources present in the flood plain and connected aquifers<br />
in the city are replenished annually due to flood plains.<br />
3. Channelisation of the river in the Delhi stretch should not be carried out.<br />
Channelisation will not only lead to reduction of the ground water reserve, it will<br />
completely stop the ground water recharge that occurs from the flood plains. In<br />
the light of acute scarcity of fresh water in Delhi, reduction of the ground<br />
water reserve will further aggravate the water problem.
