There will be no need to break the road and dig up the ground to find out about leakage of water in the underground pipeline from now onwards as the Arvind Kejriwal government has decided to employ helium leakage detection technology so that any leakage in the water pipeline can be easily found out.
Through the use of this modern technology, the people of Delhi will find relief from the problem of contaminated water.
Delhi Water Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj on Tuesday inspected the latest equipment for detecting leakage and contaminated water in the pipeline in Shahpur Jat. During this visit, the Water Minister tested the helium leakage detection technology to find out how successfully the device was able to detect leaks in the pipeline.
Bhardwaj said that complaints about the supply of contaminated water were being received in Shahpur Jat for last few days. In such a situation, the Delhi Government has decided to adopt helium leakage detection technology to solve the problem of contaminated water.
Many times, drinking water and sewer water gets mixed. This problem arises primarily due to any leakage in the drinking water pipeline. Sewage then enters the pipeline through the place of the leakage. Until now, only information about leakages visible on the road was easily available.
When there was a problem of contaminated water due to leakage inside the ground, pits had to be dug up at many places in order to find the point of the leakage from the pipeline.
Apart from breaking the road due to this, money and time were also wasted. But now with the help of helium leakage detection technology, information about the leakage of the pipeline will be easily available. “Helium gas is introduced into the pipeline, followed by drilling at multiple locations.
