NEW DELHI, INDIA, February 17, 2010: The river Yamuna, having been declared dead with its water all poisonous from 22 drains from all over Delhi feeding 800 million gallons of sewage into it per day, can kill a healthy human being. It’s the rapid industrialization that is helping the inevitable pollute to the river, pointed out Robert Oates, Director, Thames Rivers Restoration Trust (TRRT), and the industrial revolution of India is 10 times that of England when it took place.
“It is not just Government’s but every citizen of Delhi’s responsibility to make sure that the river’s cleanliness is restored and its purity revived,” he said.
In a presentation, the TRRT detailed how the whole Thames river restoration project was undertaken. The Yamuna today is what London’s Thames was 150 years ago, with all its water polluted almost irrevocably. It seemed impossible to restore it to its natural state, but good governance brought life back to the river.
