900 rainwater harvesting pits
New Delhi: The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) is developing more than 900 rainwater harvesting pits across the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut RRTS corridor and over 75 per cent of these systems are already operational, a statement said on Monday. The pits will be built across elevated viaducts, stations and depots stretching between Sarai Kale Khan in Delhi to Modipuram in Meerut. These pits are expected to recharge millions of cubic metres of groundwater, contributing significantly to water table levels.Two pits are being built near every entry/exit gate. Additionally, both depots – one operational in Duhai, Ghaziabad, and the other under construction in Modipuram – feature a significant number of rainwater harvesting pits, with over 20 implemented at Duhai depot alone, it stated.
