High ammonia levels in the Yamuna River have disrupted water supply in Delhi, affecting the Wazirabad and Chandrawal water treatment plants, which have reduced operations by 25-50%. The ammonia level recorded was over 3 ppm, exceeding the treatable limit.

The Delhi Jal Board is diverting water from Munak canal to dilute the polluted Yamuna water. Areas impacted include Defence Colony, NDMC, and various locations in South Delhi. Complaints of low or no water supply have been reported, with residents relying on water cans for drinking. The issue stems from industrial pollution disputes between Delhi and Haryana.
