Yamuna River Water Level Drops Below Delhi Warning Mark
The water level of the Yamuna River in Delhi has gone down.
On Thursday morning, the water level was measured at the Old Iron Bridge.
It was below the level that would cause concern.
Earlier, water was released from a place called Hathnikund Barrage.
It takes about two days for the water from the barrage to reach Delhi.
Last year, the water almost reached a high level.
The most serious floods happened in July 2023.
The government has a plan for dealing with floods, and the first warning happens when a lot of water is released from the barrage.
Yamuna River water level in Delhi dropped below the warning mark.
The water level at the Old Iron Bridge was 203.29 meters on Thursday morning.
This level is 1.21 meters below the warning level of 204.50 meters.
Water discharge from Haryana’s Hathnikund Barrage exceeded 50,000 cusecs on Tuesday.
The Delhi government's flood control plan triggers a warning when discharge exceeds 1 lakh cusecs.
