The study compiles the existing wastewater management in capital
city of India commonly known as New Delhi.It has population of more
than one million which is expected to grow more than two million by
2021.In 2002-03, the per capita consumption of water in Delhi was
65.90gallons per day.Approximately 3663mld of the wastewater was
produced in 2003-04.Out of this only 2230mld is treated.River
Yamuna is the only source of freshwater to Delhi and flows like a
drain between Wazirabad barrage and Okhla (exit point of river from
the city) due to addition of untreated or partially treated
wastewater.The present work encompasses the type of wastewater
produced form different sources like domestic, industries,
institutions and communities.The authors have also tried to capture
the extent of diffuse pollution in the city.There is an urgent need
to develop a wastewater management plan.O&M of existing
wastewater treatment plants must be at the top priority.
Sustainable urban drainage systems should be established to tackle
diffuse pollution in Delhi.An insight to the 'what is needed to be
done' has also been captured via authors.
