The Morning Standard
|September 09, 2025
WITH the Yamuna still choking from decades of untreated waste, the Delhi Jal Board has unveiled a far-reaching Sewerage Improvement Scheme (SIS) to overhaul the city's ageing sewage systems and plug pollution pathways into the river, officials said on Monday.

The SIS is a master plan that blends traditional engineering with new technologies. The board plans to deploy artificial intelligence and drone surveys to map unsewered pockets, drains and outfalls.
DJB has issued a tender to hire qualified consultants who will prepare a comprehensive programme to strengthen, optimise and expand sewerage infrastructure with a planning horizon to 2043.
