Two lakh houses in Varanasi reaching pure drinking water in Kashi
Varanasi: The Yogi Adityanath government has given a big gift to the people of Kashi. A large population of Banaras is now getting the pure water of the Ganga to drink. The special thing is that like the water coming out of Gangotri, this water is also completely clean and pure. For this, a polymer dosing plant has been set up at the Jalkal campus of Varanasi at a cost of about Rs 50 lakh. After this, Banaras has become the first city in the country, where Ganga water is being supplied to homes with quality on such a large scale.
Ganga water reaching two lakh houses
Siddharth Kumar, Secretary, Jalkal Department said that the pure water of Ganga has started reaching about 1.5 to 2 lakh houses in Varanasi. He informed that Ganga water is being supplied after purifying it in the Bhelupur Jalkal complex through a pump located at Bhadaini. Due to its supply, the people living in the Sis Varuna area (the area across the Varuna river) are now getting pure Ganges water as drinking water. After this, the department is preparing to extend the scheme to Trans Varuna (the area across the Varuna river) as well.
Cleanses bacteria, dirt and sand particles
According to the official, the use of organic polymers has started for the purification of water, due to which the ppm becomes close to zero. Due to this, water soluble impurities, organic compounds, bacteria, soil, sand particles etc. are almost completely cleaned. This does not make the water look cloudy or dirty. The biggest feature of polymer dosing is that by its use, the basic properties and healthy minerals of water remain present in the water itself, which is beneficial for health.
This water is healthier than RO and mineral water
The Secretary of the Water Works Department said that using modern technology, for the first time in the world, Ganga water is being directly lifted and treated with polymer dosing method on such a large scale, due to which the quality of water remains in its original form. He told that so far 120 to 125 MLD water is being treated daily. It will soon be increased to 250 MLD. The Secretary of Jalkal Department informed that polymer dosing treated water is healthier than RO and mineral water sold in the market, whose TDS is around 200.
