New Delhi: To address Delhi’s rising demand for water and the challenge of water scarcity, the Delhi Jal Board is preparing to launch a broad public awareness campaign on water conservation. Under this initiative, about 22 lakh people from Old Delhi to Patel Nagar will be made aware of saving water and using water resources more effectively. The campaign aims to motivate people to stop wasting water in daily life and adopt conservation measures.
Through this campaign, the Jal Board plans to reach homes, markets, residential colonies and community areas. People will be informed about limited water resources, falling groundwater levels and rising future water needs. Emphasis will also be placed on measures such as not leaving taps running, repairing water leaks on time and saving water in household use.
The participation of local citizens, resident welfare associations and social organisations will also be important in the campaign. The Jal Board’s effort is to ensure that water conservation does not remain limited to a government campaign, but becomes part of people’s everyday habits.
According to experts, water conservation is extremely important in a metropolis like Delhi amid a growing population and increasing demand for water. Rainwater harvesting, groundwater recharge and judicious use of water at the household level can help meet future needs.
The Jal Board’s initiative aims to take the message of water conservation to about 22 lakh people. The success of the campaign will depend on people’s active participation and on their adopting these habits over the long term.
