Delhi Master Plan 2047 Proposes Drain Treatment and Ecological Restoration for Yamuna
The Master Plan for Delhi 2047 proposes treating all 22 drains discharging into the Yamuna River through sewage treatment, constructed wetlands, and bio-remediation to rejuvenate the river and its floodplains. It includes ecological restoration along a 22-kilometre stretch between Wazirabad and Okhla Barrages, with 13 major projects covering 1,700 hectares focused on wetlands, floodplain ecosystems, biodiversity, and climate resilience. The plan also envisions green buffers, a cycling network, and designates active floodplains as no-construction zones to protect the river environment.
