More recycled water for green belts?

Gurgaon: The use of recycled water in the city is likely to increase from 52% to 78%, with new proposals for its use getting or awaiting approvals. Only 170 MLD of the 323 MLD of recycled water generated daily gets used currently, but seven projects in the pipeline will use another 84 MLD, according to the Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA).
“Of the 323 MLD recycled water generated in Gurgaon, at least 52% is currently getting used, which includes use by builders and developers. However, we can increase this to 78% by implementing seven new proposals for which agencies have sought approvals,” said a senior GMDA official.
Apart from the supply of 33 MLD to the Police Training Centre in Bhondsi and the Damdama forest area, the Municipal Corporation of Gurgaon (MCG) has proposed to use 10 MLD in its parks. In addition, 10 MLD may get used for developing the green area along the Kundli-Manesar-Palwal expressway.
GMDA also plans to use 20 MLD in green belts along the sector-dividing roads. A project for supplying two MLD to Tau Devi Lal Park and Air Force Station has received approval already. A similar proposal has come up for using six MLD in Wazirabad, Sikanderpur and the Biodiversity Park. Meanwhile, a project for using three MLD in the forest area of Gairatpur Bass and Sakatpur is underway. GMDA officials said that once bottlenecks and missing links hindering connectivity or supply lines are taken care of, more treated sewage water could get used for horticulture purposes.
