The water quality of rivers and reservoirs has improved by nearly 70 per cent in 2024 from 2023, the state government said citing a report by the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) Tuesday.
The UPPCB has undertaken a series of effective measures to enhance the water quality of rivers and reservoirs across the state, it said in a statement.
"As a result of these efforts, UPPCB's 2024 report reveals a significant 68.8 per cent improvement in water purity across Uttar Pradesh compared to 2023," it said.
This achievement reflects the success of sustained initiatives, stringent monitoring, and special campaigns led by the state government to combat water pollution.
