Delhi Jal Board to Assess 7,000 Rainwater Harvesting Systems

The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has announced a comprehensive assessment of 7,000 rainwater harvesting systems across the city. This initiative aims to enhance water conservation efforts and improve water management in Delhi.

The assessment will involve a thorough inspection of existing rainwater harvesting setups to evaluate their effectiveness and functionality. The DJB's move is part of a broader strategy to address water scarcity issues and promote sustainable water usage practices.

By reviewing these systems, the DJB seeks to identify any operational deficiencies and ensure that they are functioning as intended. The goal is to optimise the collection and utilisation of rainwater, which is crucial for a city grappling with water supply challenges.

Additionally, the evaluation process will help the DJB gather data to inform future policies and improvements related to rainwater harvesting. This step is expected to contribute significantly to the city's overall water management strategy, aligning with Delhi's broader environmental and sustainability goals.

The DJB's proactive approach reflects its commitment to enhancing water resources and promoting eco-friendly practices. As the assessment progresses, the results will likely play a key role in shaping the future of water conservation efforts in Delhi.
