On a day the Delhi Jal Board (DJB) continued to claim shortage at the
Haiderpur treatment plant, readings by the Centre’s monitoring agency
have established that Haryana is providing more water to Delhi than the
rated capacity of both the Haiderpur and Wazirabad plants.
A DJB official on Friday said the water level at the Haiderpur treatment plant
remained low, resulting in a shortage of about 15 million gallons per
day (MGD).
On the other hand, the Upper Yamuna River Board (UYRB), the central
agency entrusted with the task of monitoring the flow of water between
the two states, has reported that Haryana is providing more water to
Delhi than its due share.
As per Central Water Commission (CWC) data, on Friday, Delhi received
213.5 MGD water at Haiderpur while the production was pegged at about
202 MGD, said a UYRB official.
