Chandigarh, April 30 :- 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.
