Delhi Water Supply

Water supply will be affected in the western, outer and southern areas of the national capital on Tuesday and Wednesday due to the Delhi Jal Board's annual flushing of its underground reservoir.

Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal Sunday urged the Centre to provide 1,300 million gallons per day (MGD) of water to Delhi, saying it will help ensure round-the-clock water supply to the people in the city.

Water supply will remain affected in many parts of Delhi on Sunday due to Haryana releasing less water in the Yamuna and two canals, the Delhi Jal Board said on Saturday.

Water supply will be affected in parts of Delhi starting Thursday due to the depletion of water level at the Wazirabad pond following reduction in the release of raw water by Haryana in the Yamuna, the Delhi Jal Board said on Wednesday.

New Delhi Municipal Council member Kuljeet Singh Chahal has written to Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal claiming that the drinking water supply in the civic body's area has been reduced by up to 60 per cent for a fortnight.

With Delhi's water crisis worsening, desperate scenes came to the fore as people chained their cans together while filling those from water tanks.

The water supply situation in the national capital has deteriorated further as the Wazirabad pond level has now dropped to 668.3 feet, the lowest this year, against the normal of 674.5 feet, officials said on Saturday.

High ammonia levels in the Yamuna due to discharge of pollutants from Haryana led to a 50 percent reduction in production at Wazirabad, Chandrawal and Okhla water treatment plants which will affect supply in several parts of Delhi, officials said

The government's decision to build Lakhwar and Renukaji dams will not just help address Delhi-NCR's water supply needs but also lead to "rebirth" of the River Yamuna, Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat said.

Delhi blamed Uttar Pradesh and Haryana today as toxic foam turned the Yamuna river white, affected water treatment plants and hit the water supply in the national capital.

Water supply was disrupted in parts of the national capital today as production at the treatment plants in the city was hit due to an increase in ammonia in the Yamuna river near Wazirabad.

Water supply is likely to be affected in some parts of Delhi on Sunday due to an increase in the ammonia level in the Yamuna river impacting several treatment plants, officials said.

Water supply to Delhi, Noida and Agra is likely to get affected due to maintenance work of the Ganga canal in Muzaffarnagar which was closed on Friday, an official of the Uttar Pradesh Irrigation Department said.

Water supply will not be available in several areas of southwest Delhi till September 17 due to a disruption at the Dichaon Kalan underground reservoir because of heavy rains, the Delhi Jal Board said on Wednesday.

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Tuesday launched Delhi@2047, an initiative that aims at fostering partnerships with the private sector, CSR initiatives and philanthropic organisations to achieve the vision for Delhi by 2047.
