Delhi faces 90 to 100 million gallons per day shortfall
India
Delhi is dealing with a big water shortage, about 90 to 100 million gallons per day less than what the city needs.
Even with Haryana sending extra water, Delhi's supply just isn't enough, thanks to a drying Yamuna River channel and reduced raw-water supply.
Water treatment plants like Wazirabad and Chandrawal are struggling to keep up.
Delhi asks Haryana for Hathnikund water
Delhi has asked Haryana for even more water through the Hathnikund Barrage, but shortages continue.
The Delhi Jal Board says things might not get better unless more water is released into the Yamuna River channel.
Meanwhile, some neighborhoods are complaining about contaminated water because of low pressure and increased use of home pumps: officials warn this makes leaks and contamination more likely.
