Haryana Minister of State for Public Health Engineering, Banwari lal on Monday said that the work of installing taps in all the villages throughout the state will be completed by December 31 this year.
Apart from this, wherever there is any leakage of water, it will be repaired immediately, said the Minister while talking to the mediapersons after returning from Singapore where he attended International Water Week -2018.
More projects on water conservation and polluted water treatment by using the latest techniques would be implemented in the state, he added.
Banwari lal said that rise in population in urban areas, constant increase in the demand of water supply and changing weather conditions are main reasons for shortage of water. These all were deliberated in International Water Week in Singapore so as to find solutions on a global platform, he said.
The Minister said that in addition to treating the polluted water, discussions were held to improve the quality of water supply. A water summit was also held during this visit so as to make the future generations learn about various methods of water management, he said.
He further said that in Water Reclamation Plant, Singapore, the waste water is treated through deep tunnels, which destroys the pollutants and passed through in-tube coolers to be reused for supply in the households or industries after treatment.
The delegation from Haryana learnt the technical knowledge about the working of this plant from the concerned officials of Singapore. There are four such plants in Singapore, he added.
Banwari lal also urged the people to judiciously use water as per their need.
He said that earlier Singapore had shortage of water and was dependent on Malaysia for water supply. However, after implementing various methods of water conservation including rain water harvesting, Singapore today has become an inspiration for other countries in water conservation and treatment, he added.
