Parts of Delhi to be without water from Tuesday, know why

The Delhi Jal Board stated on Monday that water delivery would be interrupted in portions of the national capital starting Tuesday morning due to the depletion of the Yamuna river's pond level at Wazirabad and a decrease in raw water release from Haryana.

The DJB stated water production had been hampered at treatment plants in Wazirabad, Chandrawal, and Okhla and asked households to save enough water in advance as needed. It further stated that water tankers would be available upon request because supply would be disrupted until the pond level returned to normal.
