Meerut, JNN. Water is life. Everyone knows this thing. But when it comes to stopping the waste of water, everyone seems to be silent. Increasing groundwater exploitation in urban areas is most worrisome. Groundwater exploitation is being done in many ways. If it is not controlled in time, then there will be water lanes in Meerut, located in the Doaba of Ganga and Jamuna.

It is necessary to take these steps

-Depending on submersible pumps in the dairy. There should be a provision for a fine if the submersible is found moving because more than one and a half thousand dairies are in the city. Groundwater is being exploited illegally in all.

Washing vehicles should be registered. Be limited. Illegal centers closed. Because there are more than 500 vehicle washing centers in the city. Who is illegally tapping groundwater?

– Action plan should be made to rectify the water leakage. The target should be to bring 15 percent water lass to 10 percent. Because the old water pipelines in the city have become dilapidated. There are no plans to improve water leakage.
