In a significant step towards building a future-ready water management system, the Delhi government has announced plans to draft two new blueprints — a Water Master Plan and a Sewer Master Plan — alongside the recently unveiled Drainage Master Plan.
PWD and Water Minister Parvesh Verma emphasized that these plans will together form a comprehensive framework for urban water infrastructure, covering everything from potable water supply and storage to sewage treatment, stormwater management, and sustainable recycling.

“This drainage master plan isn’t just a document; it’s a guarantee that Delhi will remain resilient and flood-free for generations. Soon, Delhi will also have dedicated sewer and water master plans to complement this framework,” Verma stated.
What the Plans Will Cover
- Drainage Master Plan: Reduces waterlogging, improves stormwater management, and tackles flooding.
- Sewer Master Plan: Focuses on sewage disposal, treatment plants, and modern waste systems.
- Water Master Plan: Strengthens potable water supply, recycling mechanisms, and sustainable usage.
Together, these three master plans will mark Delhi’s first-ever integrated approach to water and waste management.

Collaboration and Next Steps
Officials confirmed that teams from the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) and the PWD will jointly prepare the drafts. Once ready, the master plans will be shared with the public for consultations before rollout.
Additionally, the government will launch a major sewage overhaul next week, which includes building Sewage Treatment Plants (STPs) across all 22 city drains that directly discharge into the Yamuna.
With this move, the capital is gearing up to address its long-standing water and sewage challenges while laying the foundation for sustainable urban living.
