New Delhi: Water supply is expected to be hit in North Delhi, North West Delhi, West Delhi and Part of South Delhi including Delhi Cantt as informed by the Delhi Jal Board on Saturday (May 21).

The water crisis comes at a time when the demand for water is high as Delhiites reel from sweltering heatwaves.
Regarding the same, the Delhi Jal Board had shared an official statement on Twitter which read: "Due to depletion of pond level at Wazirabad and maximum possible diversion from CLC towards Wazirabad and flow fluctuation in DSB & CLC also excessive floating materials in CLC DSB at Intake Haiderpur, the clear water production has been affected from water treatment plants at Haiderpur Phase-I, Phase-II, Bawana.
