RAIPUR: In a significant move towards water conservation and environmental protection, NSPCL Bhilai and Raipur Municipal Corporation (RMC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). Under the agreement, NSPCL will utilise 18 million litres of treated water daily from the Chandandih Sewage Treatment Plant (STP).
NSPCL is a joint venture between National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) and Steel Authority of India (SAIL). It will be a boost for water conservation and groundwater rejuvenation.
A Detailed Project Report (DPR) for this project will be prepared soon, followed by the laying of pipelines, the cost of which will be borne by NSPCL. This initiative aligns with the Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) and the Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay Groundwater Conservation Mission. It is expected to reduce NSPCL's dependence on fresh water sources and groundwater.
The Chandandih STP has a capacity of 75 million litres per day. This move by the corporation to provide treated wastewater to industrial units is a significant step towards preventing river and drain water pollution.
The MoU was signed on Saturday at NSPCL's Bhilai office, a step taken under the leadership of Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and the guidance of Deputy Chief Minister Arun Sao, who also heads the Urban Administration and Development Department.
