Haryana Public Health Engineering and Public Works (Building and Roads) Minister Dr. Banwari Lal said that during the last about 10 years of the present government, an amount of Rs 1,33,343.36 crore has been spent on creating effective and enduring infrastructure for various drinking water and sewerage schemes in both urban and rural areas of the state.<\/p>\n

The Minister further detailed that Rs 575.50 crore has been spent for supply of clean drinking water to citizens through 294 canal water-based projects and 265 tube well-based projects across Haryana. Additionally, 4,861 new tube wells and 1,343 boosting stations have been constructed and become operational, with an investment of Rs 1,508.45 crore.<\/p>\n

He said that in 14 large villages across the state, the drinking water supply has been increased from 70 liters to 135 liters per person per day. Additionally, sewerage treatment facilities have been enhanced in 12 villages to prevent the spread of waste and ensure a cleaner environment. Under the Jal Jeevan Mission, efforts have been made to prevent water wastage by installing taps on 18,56,212 water connections in rural areas.<\/p>\n

Dr. Banwari Lal said that three ranney wells have been successfully started to ensure uninterrupted drinking water supply in 164 villages of Palwal and Nuh districts. Out of these, 2 ranney wells have been installed near village Mohana and one near Sultan village, which provided relief to the people of this area from the drinking water problem. Along with this, uninterrupted and adequate supply of drinking water was provided. He informed that 21959.71 km long DI drinking water pipeline has been laid in various areas of the state. Apart from this, 72 sewerage treatment plants have been commissioned in various urban areas. These have cost Rs 433.60 crore.<\/p>\n

Emphasis on using treated water in industries and parks<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Public Health Engineering Minister said that the Coordination Water Policy was started in the year 2019 to reuse treated wastewater in the state. Under this policy, a target has been set to use 100 percent treated wastewater across the state by December 2028 so that this treated water can be used for irrigation. Work is being done rapidly to reuse this treated wastewater so that treated water can be easily used especially in deficient groundwater areas as well as in urban areas. Emphasis is being laid on easy use of treated water in industries apart from parks and gardening, etc. in urban areas. He said that with this scheme, the water available in the state can be properly utilized and treated water will be easily available to the people in agriculture as well as other areas.<\/p>\n

He informed that currently 1500.38 MLD treated wastewater is being treated in 177 sewerage treatment plants having a capacity of 2117.50 MLD, out of which 281.65 MLD water has already been reused. He said that the department is taking swift action to increase the amount of treated wastewater to be reused to around 1004.97 MLD by December 2025. Water is essential for life, without it, everything becomes lifeless. Recognizing this, the government has launched the Jal Bachao Abhiyan to promote water conservation. This initiative aims to motivate people to save water, ensuring a better and more sustainable future for generations to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
