This study examines the presence of pollution of Yamuna in the city of Delhi, from two perspectives: (i) understanding the concept of trapping drains and (ii) establishing small scale Sewage Treatment plants at the point of outfall. With events occurring over the last century making river Yamuna polluted, the study focuses on the latest methods and technologies available to avoid intermixing of sewage and storm water drains to reduce pollution. Due to mixing of storm water and sewage, the desired qualities of the river water get degraded and the amount of dissolved oxygen decrease considerably. If this water is allowed to pass through a sewage treatment plant then it will lead to increase in time of treatment due to increase in discharge. The increased discharge can also affect the efficiency of the treatment plant. The study also includes the theory of tributaries of river Yamuna, Major Drainage problems in the region, Quality of River water.
