What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The irrigation department plans to shut the Upper Ganga Canal for annual desilting from October 21 to November 25. This maintenance is necessary because silt deposition in the 195 km canal section from Haridwar to Dasna exceeds 10,000 particles per minute, inhibiting water flow. Over 20 lakh people in Ghaziabad and Noida rely on this Ganga water supply.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The canal supplies water to three treatment plants operated by UP Jal Nigam. GMC manages the water network in Ghaziabad, receiving a portion of the water from these plants. The canal shutdown could affect the operational capacity and water distribution for both cities.
