The South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) has told the National Green Tribunal that it was mulling framing a scheme for laying a dedicated pipeline to supply recycled water in south Delhi.

The SDMC told a Bench headed by Justice Jawad Rahim that it would frame the scheme to use water from sewage treatment plants for maintenance of its parks and sought two weeks time for this. The NGT was also informed that as per its directions, a meeting was held in presence of officials from the Delhi government, the Delhi Development Authority, the Delhi Jal Board and the SDMC to take immediate steps to prevent water wastage. The matter is fixed for hearing on May 29.
