The Delhi Jal Board in association with the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural Heritage (INTACH) organised the first consultative workshop on formulating a water policy for Delhi on Wednesday.
Chief executive officer of DJB Ramesh Negi spoke on the need to bring about effective policy instruments through consultative processes in order to better manage the state water resources. He pointed out that there are huge technological and political issues that have to be tackled in the wake of an increasing density of population in different command areas, and highlighted the need to call for a change in the culture towards water to bring about a change in the water distribution system.
Various issues pertaining to demand-management of water were discussed at length as were issues related to raising the standard of sewage treatment, decentralising treatment of water and increasing the quality of recycled water.
