As Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal put it, the city is facing an 'unprecedented water crisis'. 60 per cent of Delhi's water supply has been hit due to Jat quota protest in Haryana, which has led to disruption of water supply from the Munak Canal. This has caused closure of seven out of nine waste water treatment plants in the national capital.
Left with no option, the Delhi government has started rationing water and announced that all government schools will remain closed on Monday. On Sunday, water reservoirs in Delhi ran out of stock as treatment plants were shut down due to unavailability of water from Munak canal.
On Sunday, several parts Delhi faced water problems. Residents had to call up private tankers.
The government has now asked Delhiites to be prepared for the next few days and conserve water. "No water is available now. If something is not done right away, Delhi will face an unmanageable crisis," Deputy Chief minister Manish Sisodia said, adding he has directed all schools to be closed on Monday due to water crisis DJB said their teams have managed to supply water in small quantities to most areas on Sunday evening. It will try to do so on Monday morning as well, but if the problem persists the city will face an unprecedented crisis.
So water and waste water treatment plants are very necessary for day today life we all know. It's a matter of caring for our environment and for our own health. There are a lot of good reasons also like Fisheries, Wildlife Habitats and etc why keeping our water clean is an important priority. If wastewater is not properly treated, or waste water treatment plants are shut then the environment and human health can be negatively impacted.
