With Delhi facing a heatwave since the onset of summer, water levels in the Yamuna are critically low, threatening supplies to parts of the national capital. Officials with the Delhi Jal Board said on April 30 that the water level in the Wazirabad pond, an important reservoir of the Yamuna, has dropped by 20cm, affecting its daily lifting of nearly 3,400 litres per second. To replenish the pond, the Board has approached Haryana to release 4,250litres of water per second through the river until the monsoon.

The Uttarakhand government has in recent years introduced several measures to facilitate the mining of riverbed materials such as sand, gravel and stone s that are used in construction. In 2020, the government in two separate orders increased extraction depth from 1.5 m to 3 m and allowed excavation on private lands. Activists fear these relaxations will lead to excess mining and disrupt the ecology of the riverbeds by changing water flows and increasing the impact of floods.
