The National Green Tribunal (NGT) on Thursday gave its nod to Delhi Government’s water conservation project on Yamuna floodplains. The project aims to conserve water on floodplains and build mega reservoir between Pall and Wazirabad to meet water demand.
“I am so happy to inform all Delhiites that finally all approvals have been obtained from NGT n Centre for our water conservation project on Yamuna Floodplains. Thank u Centre n NGT. Pilot project will start soon (sic),” Kejriwal tweeted.
Under the project, small ponds will be created to catch water from an overflowing Yamuna during this monsoon season. The Chief Minister has keenly pushed for the ambitious pilot project and it is going to be a game-changer for Delhi, the Government said in a statement later.
