SEWERAGE AND DRAINAGE SCHEMES<br />

The Delhi Water Board is responsible for providing sewerage facilities in the<br />

areas under the command of MCD. In the areas under the command of NDMC<br />

Cantonment Board and DDA Development areas, internal, peripheral and outfall sewers<br />

are provided by the respective agencies. However, the Board provides trunk sewers<br />

and sewage treatment plants for the entire area of Delhi. It is also carrying out ongoing<br />

works of storm water drainage and certain anti flood works, which are now the<br />

responsibility of the MCD/ Irrigation & Flood Control Deptt. The Board has constructed<br />

sewage treatment plants at Okhla, Keshopur, Coronation Pillar, Kondli, Rithala, Vasant<br />

Kunj, Yamuna Vihar, Ghitorni, Narela, Pappan Kalan, Najafgarh, Delhi gate nallah, Sen<br />

Nursing Home nallah, Rohini, Nilothi, Mehrauli etc. Oxidation ponds have also been<br />

made at Timarpur.<br />

1. Delhi is not only a metropolitan city but also National Capital. It must have<br />

a proper sewerage system for collection, pumping, treatment and disposal<br />

of domestic effluent to check environmental pollution. Supply of drinking<br />

water is being augmented to meet the increasing demand due to rise in<br />

population. It is therefore necessary that sewerage facilities also keep<br />

pace with the water supply arrangements.<br />

2. <strong>WATER</strong> <strong>SUPPLY</strong>:-<br />

During the IX th five year plan period , the water supply was proposed to<br />

be augmented to 945 MGD from 580 MGD , but due to raw water<br />

constraints the achievement is 650 MGD.<br />

4. WASTE <strong>WATER</strong>:-<br />

Delhi Jal Board has estimated in 2003 that the total waste water generated<br />

as 512 MGD + 100 MGD from Pvt. Tube wells & 40 MGD as Industrial<br />

waste. Thus making a total waste water generation as 652.0 MGD.<br />

5. The CPHEEO have published a new water supply manual & as per the<br />

latest manual, water requirement for domestic purposes have been<br />

recommended @ 150 litre per capita per day + 15% losses = 172 lpcd and<br />

considering demand for other uses total works out to 274 lpcd (60 gpcd),<br />

they are as under:-<br />
