Yamuna River Shrinks 68% in Delhi

The Yamuna River, a vital part of Delhi's landscape, has undergone significant changes over the centuries. According to a recent study, the river has narrowed by 68% and lost a substantial 89% of its flow since 1799. This reduction in the river's width and flow has severe consequences for the city's environment and water supply. The study highlights the need for urgent measures to protect and restore the Yamuna River to its former glory. Delhi's ecosystem relies heavily on the Yamuna, and any further degradation could have disastrous effects on the city's biodiversity and water resources.
