'Might Have To Cut Down Water Supply To Hospitals Due To Shortage': Delhi Jal Board Seeks Urgent Hearing Before Supreme Court

Live Law  

Delhi Jal Board on Wednesday informed the Supreme Court that it might have to reduce the water being supplied to Delhi hospitals in wake of the acute shortage it's facing and lack of supply from States of Punjab and Haryana. The request was made for urgent hearing of the application filed by Delhi Jal Board seeking direction to States of Punjab and Haryana to immediately cease the discharge of untreated pollutants causing rise in ammonia levels into the River Yamuna, and to ensure supply of enough water from Haryana to the NCT of Delhi "If it hadn't been such an urgency, i wouldn't have asked." The application has also sought directions to ensure that enough water is supplied by the State of Haryana to the NCT of Delhi to maintain the level of the Wazirabad barrage at 674.50 feet in terms of the order passed by Supreme Court in Delhi Water Supply & Sewage Disposal Undertaking v. State of Haryana, which will reduce the high concentration of ammonia in the water. Delhi Jal Board's application has stated that the NCT of Delhi is potentially facing severe water crisis due to the twin factors of high ammonia levels in the waters of the River Yamuna, and continuously depleting water level at Wazirabad barrage, which supplies drinking water to the Wazirabad and Chandrawal water treatment plants. During the previous hearing before a Justice Nageswara Rao Bench, Senior Advocate Vikas Singh appearing for the Delhi Jal Board, had suggested that a Committee be appointed by the top Court to find out the actual situation relating to release of water by the State of Haryana.
