Integration of Urban Drainage with green spaces to give solution to depleting ground water table special reference to Delhi.

Abstract

  Storm water drainage is meant to carry storm water (rain water) and any other clean surface
water. It is fundamentally not suitable or designed for carrying sewage or industrial waste
water or even septic tank effluent. Even the effluent from the sewage treatment plant cannot be
discharged into it . Therefore, one of the urgent tasks should be to make plans for diversion of
all waste water (both domestic and industrial) from surface drains.
