Underground reservoir opens
New Delhi, June 23 The Chief Minister reiterated commitment of her government to provide drinking water facility to all the residents for which it was trying to obtain raw water from Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand. It is expected to get raw water from Renuka Dam in Himachal Pradesh. There is bound to be substantial improvement in water supply position in coming years. She further exhorted people to avoid wastage of drinking water as it was much precious. Ms Dikshit added that her government was also committed to provide better amenities in rural and urbanised villages. New Chaupal at Basant Gaon would facilitate in organising social and community functions. This has been constructed at a cost of Rs 35 lakh. Referring to overall development, which has taken place in Delhi, the chief minister said that women of Delhi were now ready to march forward with enhanced confidence as they were competent and efficient. Basant Village is an urbanised village, which is situated adjacent to Vasant Vihar. The undulating, rocky terrain of the area, resulting in ground level differences among the various pockets of this village, makes providing equitable water supply a challenging task. However, due to its prime location the density of population in this area has increased manifold over a period, resulting in rise in demand of water. To improve the water supply position, the DJB has constructed an additional underground reservoir with booster pumping station of one lakh gallon capacity and has laid one kilometer long water pipeline dedicated for Basant Village at an estimated cost of Rs 80 lakh. The newly constructed reservoir has enhanced the existing storage capacity from 50,000 gallons to 1.50 lakh gallons.
