Delhi SW GW

"In Delhi, surface and groundwater management is overseen by different agencies, with the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) playing a central role in water supply, including surface water management. DJB ensures the provision of clean drinking water, handles wastewater treatment, and encourages rainwater harvesting to enhance groundwater recharge. Rainwater harvesting is particularly emphasized to mitigate water scarcity and improve groundwater levels through measures like rooftop collection and recharge wells.

Groundwater monitoring and conservation in Delhi are aligned with broader national initiatives managed by the Central Ground Water Board (CGWB). The CGWB monitors groundwater levels nationwide and maintains a network of wells to assess groundwater trends. This includes periodic measurements, and the implementation of artificial recharge structures designed to restore depleted aquifers"
