GREATER NOIDA: Several residential areas in the city, including Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Pi 3, are likely to get Ganga water supply by May.
The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority (GNIDA) has built pipeline and reservoirs for distributing 85 cusecs (207.95 MLD) of water from the Upper Ganga Canal in Haridwar and trials for the first phase (covering the populated areas) to supply 51.09 cusecs are likely to begin from mid-March. Currently, residents of Greater Noida get treated groundwater taken from ranny wells and tube wells.
“We will be able to provide Ganga water to residents of Greater Noida from May this year. While work to lay pipelines and build reservoirs was done earlier, we will start trials from mid-March,” said PK Kaushik, general manager (projects), GNIDA.
