NEERI to Study Delhi's Industrial Wastewater Treatment Needs

NEERI is starting a study on February 6 to see if Delhi needs more places to clean industrial wastewater.

Right now, there are 13 places that clean wastewater, but they're not being used to their full capacity.

The study will look at 27 areas where factories are not supposed to be, but they are anyway.

These areas don't have good systems to treat wastewater.

NEERI will check if more wastewater treatment plants are needed or if better pipes and individual treatment systems would work better.

Some people think fixing the existing plants and pipes should be the first step before building new ones.

Others worry that even with new plants, the Yamuna River will still be polluted if the existing plants aren't upgraded and rules aren't followed strictly.
