NEW DELHI: With the national capital staring at an alarming situation of reaching zero groundwater level by 2020, the Delhi government on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that it has prepared a time-bound action plan to revive 201 of the 1,011 identified waterbodies in the state to avert the looming crisis.

Appearing before a bench of Madan B Lokur, S Abdul Nazeer and Deepak Gupta, Delhi government counsel D N Goburdhun informed the court that Delhi Jal Board and department of irrigation & flood control have prepared an action plan for rejuvenation of 201 waterbodies and would soon come out with their implementation plan.

Goburdun said a pilot project had been initiated by the department at Gogha dairy in northwest Delhi where contaminated water from the local village would be treated with phytorid technology and used for groundwater recharging. He informed the court that the government is taking help of specialised agencies, including IIT Delhi and National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI), for reviving the waterbodies in the state.

“A project has been initiated by Delhi Jal Board by giving consultancy contract to a government corporation, Water and Power Consultancy Services, as a consultant which will submit a detailed project report for rejuvenation of 12 waterbodies. Another consultancy assignment for 93 waterbodies has been given to IIT, Delhi. The remaining waterbodies out of the 201 selected have also been taken up through NEERI. After submission of report, physical work for rejuvenation of waterbodies shall commence,” he said.
