After HC rap over depleting water table, Gurugram plans borewell phase-out

In parallel, the Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) is also collaborating with IIT Gandhinagar to install water injection well systems.Following scrutiny from the Punjab and Haryana High Court over the rapid depletion of groundwater and unchecked extraction across the district, Gurugram authorities on Monday drew up an action plan directing government departments to gradually discontinue the use of borewells and push industrial units to switch to tertiary-treated wastewater for operational needs.
