City Development Plan, JNNURM prepared by Dept. of Urban Development, Govt. of Delhi says:
Water, Sewage (DJB, MCD)
- About 20 per cent of the city’s population is not covered by piped water supply.
In the absence of piped water supply from DJB, there has been extensive abstraction of ground water. - Unaccounted for water losses are estimated at 42% (16% in transmission and 24% in distribution)
- Due to network deficiencies, there is an overflow from sewers into storm water drains.
- An estimated 530 MGD of untreated sewage is discharged into the river Yamuna.
- Trunk sewers are considerably silted, requiring desilting & repair to restore their capacity.
- The city’s STPs and Sewage Pumping Stations are several years old - leading to reduced efficiency.
- Upgrading conveyance system needs to be undertaken, for full capacity utilization of Common Effluent Treatment Plants.
