Delhi's Reclaimed Water Policy: Farmhouses to pay 10,000/acre monthly for treated water use

Delhi plans to charge farmhouses 10,000 monthly for treated water use. Construction sites over 500 sqm must use reclaimed water for dust suppression. The policy aims for 100% reclaimed water use for non-potable needs by 2036. This initiative seeks to reduce groundwater extraction significantly. A master plan and ADB funding will overhaul water and sewerage infrastructure.
