Yamuna River Water Level Nears Warning Level in Delhi

Yamuna River Water Level Nears Warning Level in Delhi

The Yamuna River in Delhi is getting close to its warning level.

Water released from a barrage upstream is causing the level to rise.

Experts are discussing whether to change the warning levels.

Some believe a study of the river's shape is needed before changing the warning levels.

Last year, the river almost reached the warning level during heavy rains.

The government has a plan to manage floods, starting when water release from the barrage is very high.

In past floods, some areas in Delhi were badly flooded.
