New Delhi: PM Modi will inaugurate six mega projects in Uttarakhand through video conferencing under 'Namami Gange Mission' today. These projects include construction of a new wastewater treatment plant (STP) with a capacity of 68 million liters per day, upgrading of 27 MLD capacity STP at Jagjitpur in Haridwar and 18 MLD capacity STP at Sarai, Haridwar.
Jagjitpur's 68 MLD capacity STP is the first hybrid annuity model project completed by public private partnership. An STP of 26 MLD capacity will also be inaugurated at Lakkadghat in Rishikesh. About 80 percent of the wastewater is discharged from the Haridwar-Rishikesh area in Uttarakhand to the Ganges River. In such a situation, the construction of many STP projects will play an important role in keeping the river Ganga clean.
STP with a 7.5 MLD capacity at Muni ki Reti town in Chandreshwar Nagar is the country's first 4-storey wastewater treatment plant. The limited availability of land here has been used as a opportunity. The STP has been constructed in an area of less than 900 square meters, which is normally only 30 percent of the area required for the construction of an STP with such capacity.
