Digital Desk, New Delhi. Yamuna river in Delhi has been in the grip of pollution for a long time. Toxic foam, dirty water and decreasing water level have become a big threat to people's health and the environment. But now the central government has taken an important step to revive Yamuna, which includes a plan to divert water from Ganga and Munak canal into Yamuna. Why is water being brought into Yamuna from these two canals? Understand the answers to all the questions together here.
Why is water being brought into Yamuna from Ganga and Munak canal?
The central government has planned to divert water from the Ganga and Munak canals to revive the Yamuna river. This will increase the flow of water in Yamuna, which will reduce the problem of water shortage and pollution in the river.
It is noteworthy that this effort aims to increase the environmental flow in the river, dilute pollution and make the river lively. Under the scheme, about 800 cusecs of water from the Upper Ganga Canal of Uttar Pradesh is being released directly into Yamuna through Bijorabad Barrage.

This will increase the water level and flow of the river in Delhi and surrounding areas, which will carry away the polluted water in a better way. Similarly, 100 cusecs of additional water is being added to Yamuna from Munak Canal of Haryana. This water is being made available under the Munak canal system, so that the minimum required flow is maintained in the river.
The scheme is a positive effort towards transforming Yamuna from a 'dying river' to a 'living river', however, experts say major reforms in sewage treatment, industrial waste management and solid waste management are also required for sustainable cleanliness.
