New Delhi: The National Mission for Clean Ganga on Thursday said it has initiated two pilot projects based on constructed wetlands for in-situ treatment of urban drains discharging into the Yamuna as part of its efforts to mainstream nature-based solutions for river rejuvenation.
The two pilot projects, at the Shastri Park Drain and Kailash Nagar Drain, with a combined treatment capacity of approximately 10 MLD, both discharging into the Yamuna, "mark an important step towards adopting sustainable, low-energy and climate-resilient approaches for urban drain management", the Mission said in a statement.
