Sewage water

Last week the Supreme Court (SC) pulled up the Kalyan-Dombivli
Municipal Corporation (KDMC) for failing to meet its commitment to stop sending
untreated sewage into the Ulhas River and its tributary, the Waldhuni. The
court was hearing a petition filed by an environmental group.
Data submitted before the
court reveals that the KDMC, with a population of 1.2 million – according to
the 2011 census – produces 126 million litres of sewage daily (MLD), but treats
only 30% of it. The rest pours into the Ulhas, which is the major river in the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region. Other cities along the Ulhas have improved their
sewage treatment facilities, but still send untreated waste into the river.
Ambernath, a city with major industrial units, has told the court that it was
treating 97% of its waste. Kulgaon-Badlapur, a fast growing suburb, treats 90%
its waste and Ulhasnagar 80%.
