The Delhi Jal Board has recently released an important Water Supply Advisory, stating that drinking water supply in some areas of Delhi will be interrupted for the next four days. This problem will be mainly in areas like Rohini, Mangolpuri, Sultanpuri and Janakarpuri. During this time people have been asked to arrange water so that they do not have any kind of inconvenience.
Officials of the Delhi Jal Board say that this problem is due to Water Supply Disruption, for which they have advised people to store water. In addition, water arrangements will also be made through water tankers in the affected areas.
Another major reason behind this problem is the increase of ammonia levels in the Yamuna River, which is affecting the quality of drinking water. The water board has limited capacity to purify the water of Yamuna, which can make this problem even more serious.
