The Delhi government has decided to become self-sufficient in the matter of treating ammonia and other pollutants present in large quantities in the Yamuna water coming from Haryana. On behalf of the Delhi government, it has been said to set up an ammonia removal plant on the Yamuna pond near the Wazirabad water treatment plant. First, Yamuna water will be taken to this plant and treated so that the amount of ammonia can be reduced. After this, the treated water will be cleaned by taking it to the water treatment plant and then supplied to the homes of Delhi.
The decision was taken in a high-level review meeting chaired by Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Friday. The Chief Minister directed the Delhi Jal Board to solve this problem by setting up an ammonia removal plant within the next six months. CM Kejriwal said that the Delhi government is committed to provide ample and clean water to the people of Delhi.

Efforts to make Yamuna water ammonia free
Delhi Jal Board officials told CM Kejriwal that the department has completed the technical feasibility work of the project. Under this, work will be done in two ways. Firstly, efforts are being made to reduce the ammonia present in the Yamuna water as much as possible by treating it in the water treatment plant. Secondly, technology will also be used by the Delhi Jal Board for in-situ treatment of ammonia. A technical report is being prepared for this.
It was said in the review meeting that water from drain number two and drain number 8 of Haryana is coming into the Yamuna. This water is very dirty. There is a huge amount of ammonia present in the water, due to which there is a problem in running the water treatment plant. A pond has been built near the Wazirabad water treatment plant to carry Yamuna water to the water treatment plant. Delhi Jal Board is trying to set up an in-situ treatment plant near the pond. DJB has started work on this. Efforts are being made to reduce the pollution level of ammonia present in the water by installing an in-situ treatment plant near the pond.
Ammonia water will be cleaned from water treatment plant
Through the in-situ treatment plant, an attempt is being made to reduce the amount of ammonia in the water so much that when the treated water is sent from there to the water treatment plant, that water can be completely treated there. This water should become drinkable. The target of Delhi Jal Board is to get rid of this problem within 6 months. A project is being made for this. Tell that the water that Delhi gets from Haryana through Yamuna, that water is used in Delhi’s Wazirabad and Chandrawal water treatment plants.
Officials told that since December 11, Delhi is getting almost zero water from Haryana. The water that is visible in the Yamuna near the Wazirabad Water Treatment Plant is not actually of the Yamuna. Rather, it is the industrial waste of Panipat and Sonipat, which is coming into the Yamuna through their drains. This water is absolutely black in colour.
‘Haryana government did not cooperate’
The quantity of pollutant elements in this water is so high that it is very difficult to cure it with water treatment plant. Officials told that several letters have also been written by the Delhi Jal Board to the Haryana government on the issue of dirty water coming in the Yamuna. But the Haryana government has not taken any cognizance of those letters. After the Haryana government did not cooperate, the Delhi government has decided to reduce the ammonia and other pollutants present in the Yamuna water at its own level.
