Minister also inspects Sannoth lake
Irrigation and Flood Control Minister Satyendar Jain on Tuesday visited the natural Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) at Ghoga drain, and Sannoth lake. After inspecting the STP at Ghoga drain, the Minister directed the officials to increase its water treatment capacity from 10 lakh litres per day to 50 lakh litres per day. The recycled water from the drain will be used for groundwater recharge by creating a lake in the adjacent area, he said. The Delhi government is reviving the Sannoth lake with innovative techniques on 6-acres of land at Bawana. Mr. Jain inspected the construction site and said that around 3 MGD recycled water from Bawana Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) will be used to rejuvenate the Sannoth lake. It is scheduled to be completed by December, 2021. “The water holding capacity of the Sannoth lake should be increased so that more groundwater can be recharged through the lake,” he said.More Related News
