Pb will not be able to treat all of its sewage by 2025
Punjab struggles with sewage treatment as 53% of urban local bodies lack STPs. Mismanagement of sewage poses threats to environment and public health. State plans to construct 105 STPs to treat 326.58 MLD sewage gap. Punjab achieves 99% compliance in waste collection and transportation, 87% segregation at source, and 79% solid waste processing. Efforts underway for composting wet waste, establishing bio CNG/bio-methanation plants, collaborating with plastic waste processors, and managing construction and demolition waste.

Empty Bondvol lake turns into farmland
The Santa Cruz village panchayat is surprised by preparations for cultivation in the Bondvol lakes catchment area. Unknown persons drained the lake by tampering with a valve operated by the water resources department (WRD). The panchayat will prepare a report and submit it to the WRD and Old Goa police. They will install CCTV cameras at the valve location and ask the panch member to maintain vigil. The Calapur comunidade, as owners of the property, claims they are not responsible for the lake. The Goa State Wetland Authority has designated the water body as a wetland.

Restoration Of Sanjay Lake Stuck At The Finishing Line
The restoration of Sanjay Lake in east Delhis Trilokpuri, part of Delhi Development Authority’s City of Lakes scheme, is incomplete due to the acquisition of land for pipes. The project aims to supply colonies with water filtered by the waterbody ecosystem. The deadline for rejuvenating the lake was June, but the acquisition of 150 square metres of land for pipe laying is pending. Once the land is acquired, the work will be completed in two-three months. The plan includes lake revival, water augmentation, and the use of treated water from sewage treatment plants, with underground pipes connecting the treatment plant to the lake. The lake will be filled with treated water to augment the groundwater, which will undergo reverse osmosis filtration before being supplied to homes. The rejuvenation of Sanjay Lake is crucial for 24×7 water supply in east Delhi and to enhance Delhi Jal Board’s water resources. The Delhi government is also working on the rejuvenation of other waterbodies, including Roshanara Bagh, Anang Tal Baoli, Baansera, Bhalswa Lake, and a lake in Timarpur, with the aim of redeveloping them into recreational public spaces while boosting the water table.
