NEW DELHI: Haryana has agreed to release more water for Delhi after the level at Wazirabad pond fell from 674.5 feet to 672.8 feet on Tuesday.
To prevent a huge shortfall in supply, Haryana will release more water from Wednesday, said Delhi Jal Board officials.
Officials were, however, quick to point out that the water supply in the city is still “normal” despite the dip in the Wazirabad pond level.
“There has been a dip in the supply of raw water from Haryana. The State's water needs have gone up because of the agricultural needs at this time of the year, but Delhi has notified them (Haryana) about the dip in the pond level and they have agreed to do the needful,” said an official.
