: Recycled water will now be used at two parks in Munirka, with the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) on Wednesday launching the eco-friendly scheme.
In a step to improve the groundwater level and stop misuse of drinking water, the SDMC partnered with the Jaypee Vasant Continental to provide recycled water to the parks. The hotel will process the sewage at an effluent treatment plant to make it fit for use in parks. The SDMC had laid pipelines from the ETP to the parks in Munirka Enclave and Munirka Vihar.
Union Urban Development Minister Venkaiah Naidu, who inaugurated the project, said the scheme needs to be expanded. The head of the SDMC Standing Committee, Radhey Shyam Sharma, said the project would save one lakh litres of water. Other South Delhi hotels will also be roped in, he added.
