Hello,

Presently I am having a borewell and I am pumping the water from it to the over head tank (OHT) directly. Off late I am feeling that tiny particles are getting deposited in the OHT which is causing some problems in toilet flushing. Also the hardness level is high in the borewell water which I want to reduce to optimum level.

Hello,

We live in an apartment complex with 2 blocks. Each block has two sump tanks into which the water from borewells at our premises, Bangalore water supply water, external tanker water is let in. From the sump tanks the water is pumped up to overhead tanks for use by the apartment residents

Because of the multiple water sources we have a concern about the quality of water in terms of presence of harmful bacteria.

Delhi was once well-planned along the course of the river Yamuna but it isn't so any more. It can reach a similar state with thoughtful and better urban planning, says Anupam Mishra.

History tells us cities were settled and abandoned several times in Delhi. But I have not come across an explanation for why the city was repeatedly established at the same site. Surely, the presence of the river Yamuna to the east of Delhi would have been a reason. The Yamuna, though is not a small river; it flows for 1,300 km. Once an old city had been abandoned, why weren’t the new cities of Delhi established upstream or downstream of this location?
