Jaipur's Major Dams to Undergo Comprehensive Depollution Drive
The Water Resources Department (WRD) of Rajasthan has taken a significant step towards environmental conservation by engaging an expert agency authorized by the Government of India to depollute three major dams in Jaipur: Kanota, Chandlai, and Nevta. This initiative aims to address long-standing water quality issues and enhance the ecological health of these crucial water bodies.
Expert Agency to Prepare Detailed Project Report
According to a WRD official, the appointed agency will prepare a comprehensive Detailed Project Report (DPR) that will serve as a blueprint for the depollution efforts. The DPR will focus on multiple critical aspects, including improving water quality, identifying sources of pollution, and utilizing GIS-based mapping for precise analysis. Additionally, the report will emphasize biodiversity conservation, the implementation of modern water treatment technologies, and exploring opportunities for local livelihood generation and eco-tourism development.
Comprehensive Analysis and Long-Term Framework
The official further elaborated that the agency's report will provide an in-depth analysis of the causes of pollution in the dams. This will include detailed information on the source, quantity, and type of polluted water entering these reservoirs. The DPR will also outline preventive measures to curb future pollution, options for managing polluted water drainage, and establish a long-term development framework to ensure sustainable management of the dams.
Key components of the report will include:
- A system for supplying water from the dams for irrigation purposes.
- Specifications for necessary machinery and equipment.
- A robust water management system to optimize usage and conservation.
This holistic approach not only aims to restore the water quality but also to integrate the dams into the local economy through eco-tourism and livelihood initiatives, marking a forward-thinking strategy in water resource management.
