Delhi Water Supply Hit as Yamuna River's Ammonia Levels Surge
Ammonia levels in Delhi's Yamuna River have exceeded 3.0 ppm, significantly impacting the operational capacity of key water treatment plants, including Wazirabad and Chandrawal. This surge has led to a 25-50% reduction in water production, affecting approximately 30% of the city's areas with reduced water pressure and supply disruptions. The elevated ammonia content poses challenges for water purification, requiring additional chemicals and slowing the filtration process. Experts attribute the rise in ammonia to untreated sewage and industrial waste entering the river from Haryana. The Delhi Jal Board has appealed to residents to conserve water and is collaborating with state authorities to mitigate pollution.
