The people of the state are appreciating the initiative taken by the Haryana Government and Haryana Pond and Waste Water Management Authority (HPWWMA) to make the ponds and other water bodies clean and fresh. So far, various water bodies have been renovated in the state which were in bad condition earlier. But after the renovation of ponds and water bodies, the conditions in the state have become more pleasant. People are seen enjoying walking around these water bodies in the morning and evening. These water bodies have now become the centre of attraction. The fresh water flowing in the water bodies is being used for fish rearing and for cattle and micro irrigation. Apart from this, the work of groundwater recharging is also being done in a big way.
Regarding the protection and promotion of water bodies, Sh. Rajinder Singh, a resident of Dhanauri village of Jind district said that clean and fresh water has been arranged in the village due to the formation of a model pond. He expressed gratitude for the renovation of water bodies in rural areas. He said that rejuvenation of water bodies and ponds is most essential for improving the ground water level.
Villagers of Kachhwa village of Kaithal said that for many years the water bodies located in their village were in bad condition and there was resentment among the people due to the filth collected in it. On the directions of the Chief Minister, these water bodies were identified and a grant was approved for the rejuvenation of water bodies. In Nishandehi, water bodies were freed from the possession of the people. He said that water bodies have been greatly benefited by the rejuvenation. The women of the village go for a walk around the pond in the morning and evening. A paved path has also been constructed around the water bodies. Arrangements have also been made for increasing greenery by planting trees all around.
