No respite from 'severe' air in Delhi, water shortage a problem too. Know why

India Today  

With light showers not bringing respite from "severe" air pollution and a spike in ammonia levels in the Yamuna River leading to water scarcity, people in Delhi have been hit with a double whammy. AIR QUALITY REMAINS CRITICAL A spell of light rain on Monday offered little to no relief, with the 24-hour average Air Quality Index remaining in the "severe" category at 406, according to the Central Pollution Control Board. WATER SCARCITY WORSENS Delhi’s water crisis deepened as high ammonia levels in the Yamuna River disrupted operations at the Wazirabad water treatment plant. Ammonia levels exceeded 5 ppm, prompting the Delhi Jal Board to redistribute water, affecting multiple neighbourhoods.
