Chandigarh Proposes City Water Management Cell to Enhance Urban Water Sustainability

Chandigarh's Municipal Corporation, led by Chief Engineer Sanjay Arora, has proposed establishing a dedicated City Water Management Cell to implement a comprehensive water sustainability plan. The strategy includes strict regulation of private borewells, enhanced groundwater recharge through wells and urban wetlands, revival of natural choes, and integration of stormwater systems. It also features policy reforms like mandatory rainwater harvesting, water reuse in building bylaws, incentives for green infrastructure, and energy-efficient measures such as solarisation of waterworks, supported by digital monitoring and citizen participation.
