The
Haryana government may end up destroying the water recharge zone for Delhi,
Gurgaon and Faridabad if it goes ahead with its plan of landfilling quarry pits
near Pali village in Faridabad Aravalis. Scientists and geologists TOI spoke to
said the Aravalis and the Yamuna floodplains are absolutely sacrosanct for
drinking water availability in a large part of NCR. Meanwhile, damage of
groundwater aquifers in the region has already begun with leachate from the
defunct Bandhwari waste treatment plant nearby forming a huge toxic lake in the
midst of the forest. The government, however, has not even bothered to send
leachate samples for tests.
