The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has initiated a comprehensive assessment of approximately 7,000 rainwater harvesting systems across the city. This effort is part of DJB's broader strategy to enhance water conservation and ensure the efficient utilization of water resources in Delhi. By reviewing the existing systems, the board aims to identify areas for improvement and ensure that these structures are functioning optimally to recharge groundwater and reduce the dependency on external water sources. Rainwater harvesting is a critical component of Delhi's water management plan, especially in the context of the city's growing population and the increasing strain on its water supply. The assessment will help in addressing any operational challenges and promote the adoption of best practices in water conservation. The Delhi Jal Board's proactive approach underscores the importance of sustainable water management and its role in building a resilient urban environment. Source: Economic Times Realty
