Delhi Jal Board officials say for every one litre of water purified, at
least four to five litres of water is wasted by reverse osmosis
water-treatment equipment.
New Delhi: The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has drawn attention to the wastage
of water by reverse osmosis (RO) water-treatment equipment, used by
lakhs of households.
Though RO, as it is popularly known, provides quality drinking water, its filtration process leads to substantial loss of water, prompting concern among DJB officials who are battling an acute water shortage in Delhi.
The DJB has written to industrial bodies in the Capital, holding its first meeting in this regard on Tuesday with the CII. For every one litre of water purified, at least four - five litres of water goes waste in ROs, DJB officials said.
