The Delhi government will initiate major improvements in the city’s water supply with the help of a Rs 2,500 crore loan extended by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), through the Union Finance Ministry, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Wednesday.
Addressing a press conference, she said that a Delhi Jal Board (DJB) meeting has also approved the construction of two underground water reservoirs (UGRs) to boost water supply.
A project to install smart metres has also been approved by the DJB for realtime monitoring and to prevent water loss, she said.
Gupta also said waterlogging in Delhi was a major challenge for her government, and that work was underway to tackle the problem.
