Mohali’s Water Lifeline: New Plant Offers Hope Amidst Punjab Crisis
Punjab grapples with a severe water scarcity. A newly commissioned ultra-filtration sewage treatment plant in Mohali offers a beacon of hope. This advanced facility produces high-quality treated water, unlike existing plants.
The plant’s treated water is suitable for various non-potable uses, significantly expanding reuse potential. This contrasts sharply with the limitations of older treatment plants, which produce water of lower quality and restricted utility.
However, a significant hurdle remains: effective implementation of the State Treated Waste Water Policy. Widespread adoption of treated water for industrial and agricultural needs is crucial.
The success of this Mohali plant hinges on overcoming bureaucratic and infrastructural challenges. Its potential to alleviate Punjab’s water woes depends on a concerted effort to change water usage habits and policy implementation. The state’s future water security is directly linked to the successful integration of such initiatives.
