DDA's Digital Leap: Real-Time Water Monitoring in Parks
29 Jan
Summary
- Online monitoring of park sewage plants to reuse treated water.
- Automation systems will track water quality and quantity in real-time.
- Wastewater treatment plants up to 100 KLD capacity will be installed.
The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) is launching a significant digital transformation initiative to enhance water management in its parks. The DDA plans to introduce online, real-time monitoring systems for sewage treatment plants (STPs) located in around 100 of its parks. This project aims to ensure that treated wastewater is optimally reused for irrigation, horticulture, and arboriculture purposes, contributing to sustainable water management.
The agency has issued an Expression of Interest (EoI) to enlist firms capable of installing advanced automation systems. These systems will enable real-time tracking of crucial water quality parameters, including biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and pH levels, along with monitoring water quantity. Furthermore, the initiative involves identifying and implementing suitable technologies for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) with daily capacities of up to 100 kilolitres.
This digital upgrade is expected to improve operational efficiency and ensure compliance with treatment standards. The treated water will also be utilized to rejuvenate water bodies within park complexes. The DDA manages a vast expanse of green areas in Delhi, and this project focuses on 100 larger parks that already have STPs with capacities ranging from 10 KLD to 1,000 KLD, commissioned between 2020 and 2024.
