Delhi Water Supply Nears Normal As Yamuna Ammonia Levels Fall

Officials report Wazirabad running at about 90% capacity with ammonia near 2.3 ppm.

Overview

  • Canal-based plants such as Haiderpur, Bawana, Dwarka and Nangloi are operating at full capacity, according to officials.
  • The Wazirabad plant remains constrained by elevated ammonia at the reservoir, though output has risen from roughly 85% to about 90% of capacity.
  • A temporary maintenance diversion on Haryana’s canal network was halted, with Delhi’s share restored after alternate routing.
  • Delhi Jal Board specifies its plants cannot treat raw water above 1 ppm of ammonia, a threshold exceeded earlier when levels reportedly peaked around 6.5 ppm.
  • Officials say overall supply has largely stabilised across the city with normalisation expected by late Saturday.
