Rajasthan State Mines and Minerals Limited unearths oasis

JAISALMER: The Rajasthan State Mines and Minerals Limited (RSMML) while mining lignite coal in Nagaur area struck upon huge water reserves. The RSMML is now working on the ambitious plan to utilize this water for drinking and industrial purposes.
The huge reserve of water was detected when the RSMML was looking for lignite in the Kansau area of Nagaur. The company has set up a water filtration plant and is supplying water to 120 villages.
According to RSMML managing director, Ajitabh Sharma, "While mining for lignite in Nagaur at the allotted Matasukh block, we struck upon water reserves. The water pressure is huge. A plant has been set up and 13 MLD flitered water is being supplied to 120 villages. A complete system has been developed through PHED. Also, about 10 MLD water is being distributed to industries."
He said similarly, in Nagaur's Kansau block, while mining lignite, water reserves were found and here the pressure of water is much more but here we need to use it for mining lignite. From here, 80MLD water can be drawn and a plan has been prepared to use this water for other purposes too. Sharma said a plant is being set up, so that water can be used for different purposes like for drinking, irrigation and industries etc.
