What happened
The Delhi Jal Board has begun a medium-term project to augment water supply in North Delhi by developing water extraction points along the Munak canal. This move addresses a demand-supply gap of 250 million gallons per day, according to the 2025-26 economic survey. The initiative includes a tube well interlinking and conveyance system that will transport raw water to an underground reservoir in Bawana Sector 36. The conveyance system is budgeted at ₹9.3 crore and is being executed in collaboration with Haryana.
