Noida's Ganga Water Supply Disruption: What You Need to Know

Ganga Water Supply Interruption in Noida

Residents of Noida will experience a disruption in Ganga water supply for four days, lasting until June 13. This interruption is due to necessary repairs in the pipeline network located in sectors 63 and 121, as announced by the Noida Authority. The repair work is expected to affect approximately 195.8 million litres per day (MLD) of Ganga water, which constitutes around 60% of Noida's daily water requirement of 407 MLD, sourced from the Upper Ganga Canal.


According to a senior manager from the Noida Authority overseeing Ganga water operations, there are leakages detected in a 1,400mm pipeline near the Sector 63 green belt and a 1,000mm pipeline along the Sector 121 service road. To facilitate these repairs, the Ganga water supply was halted starting Monday, with completion anticipated by June 13.


While sectors 19, 20, 22, 23, 25, and 27 will not face significant disruptions, water pressure in these areas may be lower due to water being redirected. However, newer sectors such as 71, 72, 88, and 122 might experience some supply issues due to the gradual release of water from an alternative pipeline.


In a related development, the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has announced plans to construct three new water treatment plants to meet the increasing water demands of Delhi's expanding population. These plants will be located at Iradat Nagar near Narela, Najafgarh in southwest Delhi, and Chhatarpur in South Delhi.


Once operational, these facilities are expected to provide a total of 235 million gallons per day (MGD) of treated water to the capital. The Iradat Nagar and Chhatarpur plants will each have a capacity of 80 MGD, while the Najafgarh plant will have a capacity of 75 MGD.
