TERI scientists call for decentralised effluent treatment plants

New Delhi, 2 Dec (UNI) Addressing Delhi’s unabated water pollution crisis, visibly marked each winter by frothing in the Yamuna, experts from The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) on Tuesday urged the state government to set up decentralised effluent treatment plants and strengthen enforcement against illegal discharges and non-compliant units.
Environment Department officials said the recommendations also included creating real-time dashboards to track pollution levels and compliance.
To improve the quality of the river, experts further called for stronger plastic and solid waste management, along with regular health surveys in vulnerable communities that face a high risk of water-borne diseases from drinking or bathing in the contaminated stretches of the Yamuna flowing through the city.
