The Delhi government has unveiled two initiatives aimed at improving the environmental flow of the Yamuna River. The measures seek to address water scarcity and ecological concerns in the capital.
The Delhi administration has announced a dual strategy to enhance the environmental flow of the Yamuna River that runs through the city.
The first initiative focuses on increasing the volume of water released into the river during critical periods, ensuring that aquatic ecosystems receive sufficient flow.
The second measure involves improving water management practices upstream, aiming to reduce pollution and maintain the river’s health.
Officials say the combined approach will help restore the river’s ecological balance and support the livelihoods of communities that depend on the Yamuna.
