Distinguished physicist Professor Pinaki Majumdar, Director,
Dhanbad: Water- water everywhere not a drop to drink. The age old adage seems to be true for more than five lakh residents of Jharia who face water crisis during every monsoon season due to rise in water level of river Damodar.
Weeds being carried along with the strong water current during monsoon block the inlet pipeline of the intake well of Jamadoba based water treatment plant of civic body Jharkhand Mineral Area Development Authority affecting the water treatment work and resultant supply of treated water.
The latest water crisis which arose six days ago however is coupled with a leakage problem in the main water supply pipeline around 200 meters away from the treatment plant further delaying the resumption of water supply.
