Delhi Jal Board (DJB) vice chairman Raghav Chadha on Sunday said the national capital was reeling under water shortage as "Haryana has reduced the supply of raw water to the city". He requested Union Jal Shakti Minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat to intervene and direct the Haryana government to release Delhi's share of raw water. “Haryana has reduced the supply of raw water to Delhi, as a result we are facing a shortage in water production. The treatment capacity at Wazirabad and Chandrawal water treatment plants has dipped by 30 per cent. According to officials, the DJB's water treatment plants can treat up to 0.9 parts per million ammonia concentration in the river water.
