Description
Description | The Munak Canal, Delhi's primary water supply canal, is facing repeated breaches, significant water loss, and neglect. The 102-kilometre canal supplies nearly 37% of Delhi's raw water but suffers from crumbling infrastructure, illegal tapping, and encroachments. The government plans to cover sections of the canal with solar panels to reduce water loss from evaporation, generate clean energy, and improve safety and hygiene. Additionally, a ₹300 crore project proposes an 11-km conduit to bypass ammonia-contaminated stretches of the Yamuna River, ensuring cleaner raw water for treatment plants. The Delhi government also intends to take over the canal's maintenance from Haryana to improve management and budget allocation. |
