Nearly one billion Hindus worship the Yamuna River as a goddess. 1. 2. As the city’s water usage increases, dry season water levels in the river rise due to greater amounts on untreated water being dumped into the river.

The plan will include cleaning the river, developing the river bank as a biodiversity zone, treating drain water and using spaces on the banks of drains as public spaces and it will take place in 2 phases: Phase-I of the clean Yamuna project aims to lower the pollution levels in the Najafgarh and Delhi Gate drains, while Phase-II deals with Shahdara, Barapullah and other drains. A man fishes in the Yamuna River in south Delhi. In Delhi during the eight months of the dry season, the Yamuna is fed mainly through a trickle of sewage and waste runoff from the city. 1.

Yamuna River Pollution With over 50 million people dependent on the water of the Yamuna along with rapid population growth, the Yumuna has developed into one of the most polluted rivers in the world. We stand for bringing Back River Yamuna to its people, wildlife and ecology. About 22 drains fall into the Yamuna River in the Delhi segment which are loaded with huge amount of biological and chemical wastage. 2. The pollution of the river water of Yamuna begins from Tajewala in the upper segment and most polluted segment is Delhi segment. Each day, 2.9 billion liters of waste water from sewage, domestic and industrial sources are dumped directly into Mother Ganga, of which over 80% is sewage discharge of 50 cities located along the river. This shall dilute its uncontrolled pollution and bring back the original river back to its people, wildlife and ecology. Sewage accounts for over 80% pollution in the River Ganga. Sewage contamination poses a serious health hazard. With an annual flow of about 10,000 cubic metres (cum) and usage of 4,400 cum (of which irrigation constitutes 96 per cent), the river accounts for more than 70 per cent of Delhi’s water supplies.

The Yamuna supplies about a third of Delhi's drinking water, which gets channeled to a reservoir in the northernmost corner of the city before the river becomes toxic.

New Delhi, the capital of India, dumps much of its waste into the river, generating almost 2 million liters per day of sewage. The 22km stretch from Wazirabad to Okhla in Delhi is just 2% of the river’s length, but it contributes 70% of the pollution to the Yamuna. It should be noted, cleaning of Yamuna is also part of the Namami Gange Mission and Government of India has been supplementing the efforts of the states for checking the rising level of pollution of river Yamuna, a tributary of River Ganga, by providing financial assistance to states of Haryana, Delhi and Uttar Pradesh in phased manner since 1993 under the Yamuna Action Plan (YAP). Toxic foam floats on the surface of River Yamuna in Delhi’s Kalindi Kunj area on Nov 07. One of the primary contaminants of the Yamuna River in Delhi is fecal matter. Images of the foam-coated river show the extent of the pollution of the Yamuna around New Delhi ; Indian government has spent nearly £200 million trying to clean up the 'dead river… This pollution comes to the river, in part, as a result of a lack of bathroom infrastructure.
