 The Hindu : New Delhi News : Haryana accuses Delhi of stealing water
Strained relations between Delhi and Haryana over sharing of the Yamuna water have once again reached a flashpoint with the latter accusing its neighbour of stealing water for flushing and operating its ambitious 140 MGD Sonia Vihar water treatment plant besides constructing a pump house in the "river area" in violation of norms.
Haryana's Irrigation Department officials have alleged that a 50-metre long and four-metre wide canal had been constructed near the Wazirabad barrage through which the Yamuna water was being diverted to a nearby pump house.
According to a court order, Haryana, which releases 425-cusec of water into the Yamuna everyday, was supposed to maintain the water level of the Wazirabad pond at 674.5 feet for supplying raw water to its Chandrawal and Wazirabad treatment plants.

 The Hindu : New Delhi News : Delhi water crisis getting worse
On Sunday, the water level at the Wazirabad barrage dipped further, forcing the Delhi Jal Board to close all 25 gates of the barrage to improve the water level, which, experts say, is against the water sharing agreement between five States signed in 1994.
Though Haryana has stated that it was releasing an additional 100 cusecs of the Yamuna water through Munak canal to maintain the level at the Wazirabad barrage, it might take another three to four days for the water to reach Delhi.
However, the shutting of all gates at the Wazirabad barrage is likely to ease Delhi's water problems and with additional water from Haryana reaching the Capital within the next three to four days, the water level at the barrage might increase.
