Dravyavati River Front - Running Track - Jaipur

Durgawati river front project Pratap Nagar Sanganer Jaipur

People will be able to enjoy cycling on a 47-km long track that will run parallel to Dravyavati River from Jaisalya village in Vishwakrma area to Goner. As per the current project plans, the construction of only a walk-way has been proposed, but cycling will also be allowed on the walk-way. A walk-way and a cycle track with a total width of 4 meters have been proposed under the project. Chief minister Vasundhara Raje has directed the JDA officials to include this feature in the project after getting feedback from people. The companies tasked with the project have also been informed about the new plans. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️_ About the Project _⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ The Dravyavati river rejuvenation project, which aimed to revive the city’s receding groundwater, has allegedly failed to serve its purpose as cementing has prevented natural recharge resulting in fast depletion of water-table along the river. A survey revealed at many locations the water table was depleting instead of witnessing a rise. The 47.5-km river originates from Nahargarh hills in Amer Panchayat Samiti and passes through the city areas including Jhotwara Panchayat Samiti, Sanganer Panchayat Samiti before merging with Dhod River in the south. Tata Projects, which developed the rejuvenation project, refuted the claims and termed it misleading. The firm in its statement said, “Dravyavati River Rejuvenation project witnessed the usage of stone pitching technique along nearly the 12-km stretch wherein huge stones weighing nearly 40-kg each were laid in a particular manner thereby ensuring enhanced water percolation into the soil. Every 300-metre there is a check dam with a 10-metre perforated concrete section to further ensure optimum recharging of groundwater.”
