Residents of Greater Noida can hope to see their indefinite hope for Ganga water ending soon. This part of Gautam Buddh Nagar is expected to get Ganga water by the end of 2018. A 210 MLD capacity water plant is almost ready which will start supplying Ganga water in the next 4 months.

People staying in Greater Noida have been facing harrowing time due to bad quality water in their area. 

The water that they receive is hard and saline. To ensure a better quality of drinking water, the Greater Noida Authority had started the Ganga water project. The project is now on the verge of its completion.

According to the officials, Ganga water project is almost 75 per cent complete. "Work is going on at the primary refinement plant in Gangnahar which is almost 75 per cent complete. The remaining work is expected to be completed soon.

"For the supply of Ganga water project, overhead tanks and water pump houses have already been made," said an official. Ganga water will be supplied according to priorities at the residential and commercial areas. A total of 25 underground reservoirs (UGRs) have been made under the project.

The irrigation department's work on the pipeline from Ganga canal is under progress at the moment. The water will be directly transported from the treatment plant to the reservoirs. The water will then be supplied to different areas in the city.

At present, the water is being supplied through tube wells. 40 tube wells and 11 overhead tankers are currently in use. The General Manager, Rajiv Tyagi, who has been looking after the Ganga water project, said, "I am looking forward to completing the work as early as possible. I hope that the work will get complete by October. The supply of water will start afterwards."
