Exploring ways to fill Delhi’s unmet water needs

Hindustan Times  

Delhi—a city and Union Territory containing the country’s Capital, New Delhi—continues to grow in population, posing challenges to civic agencies in the provision of citizens’ essential needs. This brief examines the experience of Delhi’s water agency in obtaining raw water, amid the growing gap in supply and demand that is only being exacerbated by climate change. Water supply {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} {{^userSubscribed}} {{/userSubscribed}} The population of the UT of Delhi, pegged at 20 million in 2021, is growing at a rate of 2.12% per annum, making it ever more difficult for the responsible civic agencies to provide essential services to its inhabitants. {{^usCountry}} {{/usCountry}} This brief examines the experience of the Delhi Jal Board, the agency primarily tasked with the supply of water in the city—in obtaining raw water for meeting citizens’ needs. The focus on water is warranted due to several reasons: significant proportions of the population living in the city’s informal areas do not have access to piped water supply; in the planned areas, those who have piped supply receive water only for a few hours a day; and there are concerns about low water pressure and the inferior quality of water supplied through pipelines and water tankers.
