It is necessary to reduce the quantity of water being drawn from the river for irrigation. The ecology of the river is being destroyed by doing this.
Environmentalists also suggest that treatment of effluents is very essential before dumping into the river.
It is time now to learn from foreign countries on how they are scientifically recycling wastes and making use of the wastes to construct new roads, buildings etc. For example, Singapore recycles 98 % of its construction and demolition waste. The existing STPs and ETPs of our country should be improved.
Steps must be taken to relocate the existing settlements and encroachments near the floodplains and no further encroachments should be allowed.
There should be a ban on construction of new barrages, roads, metro and railway bridges, embankments near Yamuna.
Since there is shortage of landfill sites in Delhi, most wastes are dumped in the river. Keeping this in mind, immediate action needs to be taken to identify more landfill sites in Delhi.
Last but not the least, it is high time now the Government took necessary steps to enhance public awareness.
