He said that more such plants are being installed around the national capital for augmenting water availability.

“DJB is making rigorous efforts to ensure that we have the complete infrastructure for providing 24/7 water supply by next summer,” said Jain, in a statement issued by his office.

Besides, he added, that unique water extraction and ranney wells are being built around Delhi to ensure 24X7 water supply.

Ranney wells use riverbank filtration , as they draw raw water through the sand and gravel aquifer, removing turbidity and most other contaminants, including surface waterborne organisms.
