The Central Water Commission has completed the pre-feasibility study ordered by the Delhi government to tackle the water crisis in the city. The commission has proposed to the government to construct a water barrage that will be used to store overflows from the Yamuna in monsoons. Subsequently, the Delhi Jal Board has accepted the proposals and the work on the project is likely to start soon. The commission in its report suggested that in order to increase the water storage capacity and reduce the dependence of Delhi on other states for water, especially in peak summer months, the Delhi government should construct a big water barrage at Palla. The barrage will have a storage capacity of almost 80 MGD. The city is mostly dependent on water released by Haryana and Uttar Pradesh for the major water treatment plants at Wazirabad, Sonia Vihar, Nangloi, Okhla, Chanderwal among others.
