Flood threat looms in Delhi as Yamuna River levels keep rising, full update inside

The risk of floods in Delhi has increased once again, similar to last year, as the water level of the Yamuna River continues to rise.

New Delhi: The effect of continuous rains in the mountains, including Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, is now visible in Delhi. Due to the ever-increasing water level of the Yamuna River, the threat of floods in the capital, Delhi, is once again looming. The Yamuna River in Delhi has reached the danger mark, and the water level is continuously rising.

According to Dynamite News correspondent, heavy rainfall in Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand has heightened flood risks in several rivers. The Yamuna’s water level has also risen steadily, inching closer to the danger mark at multiple locations.

In Delhi, the Yamuna’s surge is attributed to water discharge from the Hathini Kund Barrage, where authorities are releasing 20,000 cusecs per hour. This increased inflow has pushed the river perilously close to the danger threshold, raising concerns of potential flooding in low-lying areas.

Water Level of Yamuna River Reaches 203 Meters

The water level of the Yamuna River in Delhi has risen to 203 meters, inching dangerously close to the danger mark. With the river continuing to swell, the government and all concerned departments have been put on high alert.

Authorities are making necessary preparations to address potential flooding in Delhi's low-lying areas. The rise in water levels is attributed to heavy rainfall in upstream states like Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand, which has caused several rivers to overflow. As a result, the Yamuna has been rising steadily at multiple locations, raising concerns of a repeat of past flood situations.

Flood threat is looming.

According to the information, the water level of the Yamuna in Delhi has reacted close to the danger mark due to the release of water from Hathini Kund. 20 Thousand Cusecs of Water is Being Released Every Hour from Hathini Kund.

Due to the rain, the water level of the Yamuna has increased, and the tension of Delhiites has increased. Like every year, this time also flood-like conditions in Delhi have started. Actually, the water level is increasing rapidly due to the release of water from the Hathinikund Barrage. Also, let us know that there is a threat of flooding in Delhi.
