AAP blames HARYANA for water problems—but a little calculation below will show that Delhi actually can manage the summer month water shortage easily.

Calculation:-Refer CPWD MANUAL

 

  • Delhi receives on an average  774.4 mm or better  rainfall annually which is not an inadequate  amount of rainfall. In fact, it recently broke the records of the rainfall in 2021. So, the annual natural recharge of water was never an issue.
  • Delhi’s Surface are : 148.2 Crore Sq. M.
  •  Delhi is surrounded by the states of Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. Delhi has an area of 1,483 sq. kms. Its maximum length is 51.90 kms and maximum width is 48.48 kms.
  • Total Rain Water=148.2*0.7744=114+ Crore tonne. Or M3.
  • Delhi Population:- 33,807,000..—2024 data.
  • Rain Water / Population=33,720 Liter per head per year.
  • Domestic water Demand: This includes water which is required for use in private residences, apartment houses, etc., for drinking cooking, bathing, washing of clothes, and other household chores. As per IS1172-1971, the domestic water consumption under normal conditions in an Indian city is 135 Liters per head per day.
  • Considering per head water as 135 Liter/day,  No of Days= 249 days (GROSS)
  • Let us consider total losses 50% due to surface, and sub surface run off (10%, & 20%,) evaporation(5%), and other losses (15%), Total 50 %,  still Rain Water can tide over (249*0.5) 120+  days of summer month.
  • If Delhi does RW HARVESTING, and recharge AQUIFER diligently,   problem will be solved.
  • In our Sr. CITIZEN Colony at Nirmay, we can do about 80% RW HARVESTING.
  • The main reason for water scarcity in Delhi is mostly due to lacking a long-term vision and neglecting to build infrastructure and mechanisms to conserve water. This is also the story of other cities of India (irrespective of government).
  • Water conservation was never under the core agenda of Delhi government. It prioritized distribution of free water and electricity instead.
  • For scarcity of Water or Flood, blame Haryana. For Oxygen—Blame Centre. Winter Smog—Blame Punjab, and Haryana; Law & Order: Blame LG.
  • The Delhi government appears to indulge more in blame game and conspiracy theories instead of actually taking bold steps.
  • Even after a decent Rain Fall—Delhi’s Water Scarcity is mainly MAN MADE, & PATHETIC.
  • And all these lead to “TANKER MAFIA”.

  INDIANS EXTRAORDINARY FIRST PART HERE, I WILL COVER THE  OUTSTANDING INDIAN SCIENTISTS, CHRONOLOGICALLY MOVING BACKWARD . 1.0 NEENA GUPTA. In 2014, she was awarded the Young Scientists Award by the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) for solving the Zariski Cancellation Problem, posed by Oscar Zariski, one of the most eminent founders of modern algebraic geometry. “One of the best works in algebraic geometry in recent years done anywhere,” was INSA’s remark on Gupta’s solution. In 2021, she was awarded the Ramanujan Prize for young mathematicians for her series of outstanding work in affine algebraic geometry and commutative algebra, particularly for the Zariski Cancellation Problem, that had remained unsolved for 60 years until 2014 when Gupta cracked it. With this, she became the third woman and the fourth Indian to win an award given to mathematicians under 45 who have conducted outstanding research in a developing country. “Her research shows impressive algebraic s
