Delhi to run out of water soon!
Here’s the proof.
The report stated that Delhi which is the world’s second most populous city is expected to grow from 14 million people residing in the city to 25 million.
Additionally, the ruling Aam Aadmi Party had affirmed that every household would get at least 20,000 litres of water for free per month.
The research claimed that the national capital does not have enough water to turn the promise into reality.
Overflowing sewers and mismanagement of resources also could be the basic reasons for water scarcity in Delhi.

Earlier this year, it was reported that Haryana was sending “less” water to Delhi only leading to further water shortage.
“The release of water to Delhi through the Yamuna has been decreased by Haryana since May 8, 2017.
If this is not fixed soon, there might be a major water shortage in the city,” a senior Delhi Jal Board officials told Hindustan Times.
