Water Supply Disruption In Delhi: The Delhi Jal Board (DJB) has alerted about temporary water supply disruption in multiple areas of Delhi, including Rohini, Mangolpuri, Sultanpuri, and Janakpuri over the weekend, Saturday and Sunday. It also stated that water pressure in these areas would be lower than usual on Monday and Tuesday, March 10 and 11.
According to the DJB, the disruptions are due to the annual maintenance and flushing of the Underground Reservoir and Booster Pumping Station, scheduled for March 8 and 9, as per an Indian Express report.

Moreover, ammonia concentrations in the Yamuna have recently increased, according to the Delhi Jal Board, as reported by TOI, citing sources. The rise, attributed to industrial discharge from upstream Haryana, could impact the city's water supply. However, officials stated that there was no disruption in supply on Wednesday, the report said. Reportedly, ammonia levels fluctuated throughout Wednesday.
Earlier in the day, they were around 6.5ppm, significantly exceeding DJB's treatment capacity of 1ppm, and remained at 6.1ppm until 6 PM before dropping to below 3ppm later in the evening. While ammonia levels had risen temporarily, they were now largely declining. The official added that water production remained unaffected as additional water from the Munak Canal was used for dilution at Wazirabad.
