Water crisis: Haryana firm on stand, Delhi supply hit (Times Of Times 15 June 2012)

The water shortage in the city continued after Haryana refused to relent and release Delhi’s entire water share. A shortfall of 45 million gallons per day in production at the Wazirabad water treatment plant to which supply was curtailed on Wednesday and 15 MGD at Haiderpur — affected since 20 days — saw supply disrupted in several areas.
"Haryana has arbitrarily curtailed raw water supply to the Wazirabad and Haiderpur WTPs. Residents of north, west, New Delhi and Walled City will have to face a very difficult situation," a senior government official said.
To deal with the scarcity, Delhi Jal Board has had to rationalize water. Senior officials said that supply to several areas had been cut by 30 minutes or so in order to divert the extra water to other colonies. "If rationalization was not done, there would be some areas that would have to go without any water," said the official.
