A potential water crisis looms over Delhi as the Wazirabad treatment plant, supplying water to a sizable chunk of the city, faces a 50% reduction in production. The alarmingly high pollution levels in the Yamuna River, are the primary source for the plant.
This reduction, primarily due to high ammonia levels, threatens water shortages in several Delhi areas, potentially impacting millions of residents. Untreated sewage and industrial waste discharge are the major contributors to this ongoing issue of river pollution, highlighting the critical need for sustainable water management practices in India.
The Delhi Jal Board is scrambling to manage the crisis. They're drawing more water from other treatment plants and urging residents to use water judiciously. However, these are temporary measures; a long-term solution to Yamuna pollution is essential.
This isn't Delhi's first brush with water woes due to the Yamuna. Similar situations arose in December 2023 and earlier, underlining the river's vulnerability and its crucial role in Delhi's water security.
