How Neela Hauz, south Delhi's biggest water body was restored using natural process

[@sunshinespecial]

This is really amazing! Need to replicate this model in rest of the states as well. The way the sewage water is treated is insanely natural ! This model shows how wise use of nature could reap us benefits. Its a perfect example of "Sustainable model of development" as the way in which the sewage is treated & then used as influx to Neel Hauz, holds a key to development of the urban cities alongwith the development of the nature itself (rejuvenation of the waterbody), though with the help of nature. Thanks Down to Earth for such an enlightening video.

[@HarshajyotiDas]

That's really amazing. We should do this with all lakes in India.

[@abhilashagrawal9879]

Brilliant. Beats me why, despite the knowledge of such methods, the governments across India are not implementing them. This is so easy to do, does not require much investment and does not run the risk of breaking down like CTP.

[@drraghunath83]

probably space constraints? A potential solution could be to dig the existing lake space deep enough so that the existing place itself can be used for both cleansing & storing the purified water. I'm from Bangalore. Although the local authorities have made okish effort over the past 2-3 years in conserving the lakes, still lots left to be done

[@jayj5535]

It warms my heart to see such initiatives

[@nayanreddy6618]

This could be a great solution for the Hussain Sagar in Hyderabad. The water treated in the STP there continues to cause an overhanging foul smell throughout the day...

Since delhi govt is taking up a project to restore more lakes, such projects must be appreciated and replicated across the country. NGT must look into all the water bodies as well as rivers flowing without environmentally sustainable water volume.

You could write a mail to this organisation where Dr CR Babu works (mentioned in the video). Even if they can't help you directly, I think you'll get information on how to go about this process. In the video, they mention that the restoration started after protests from people. So it could all be about getting the right person to hear it. All the best!

Not a good example, claims made are highly questionable and were contradicted by NGT. No tender process followed and is given funding by DDA every year. Claims you need to clean filter media evey year. Not even clear if lake is clean or is just flowing out. Big pool at beginning is not an oxidation pond, it is a septic pond. Can't have such unsightly ponds in urban areas.
