Revamping Delhi's Sewage: The Decentralised Strategy for a Cleaner Yamuna

Delhi Jal Board is constructing 10 decentralised sewage treatment plants (DSTPs) to clean the Yamuna River. These DSTPs, installed in areas lacking infrastructure, will boost the city's capacity by 30 million gallons per day. This initiative aims to address the 400 MGD treatment gap in Delhi's sewage management.

The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has embarked on a crucial mission to clean the Yamuna River by constructing 10 decentralised sewage treatment plants (DSTPs) across the city, as announced by officials on Monday.

These DSTPs, a departure from traditional large-scale sewage treatment plants, will be strategically positioned along drains and in areas deficient in existing infrastructure, providing an efficient and space-saving solution.

Officials highlight that tenders have been issued for major areas, including the Najafgarh drainage zone and the Tikri Kalan areas, with an expected capacity increase of 30 million gallons per day. The fast-track programme aims to bridge a 400 MGD gap in sewage treatment, benefiting around 35 lakh residents in Outer Delhi.
