A new scheme for large-scale natural water storage in the floodplains: the Delhi Yamuna floodplains as a case study [1]

The top layer of accumulated sand washed down by floods over millions of years, makes river floodplains into giant aquifers. We propose a scheme for the natural storage of excess monsoon river-water discharge in the extensive and deep sand top layer of the floodplain of the river. The excess monsoon discharge can be used for a regulated inundation of an embanked area of the floodplain
