Yamuna Water Level Crosses Warning Mark Of 204.50 Meters In Delhi

An official of the Delhi government's irrigation and flood control department said low-level flooding may occur at a few places along the river but a grave situation is unlikely.

The water level of the Yamuna crossed the warning mark of 204.50 metres in Delhi following torrential rain in the river's upper catchment areas over the past two days.

According to the Central Water Commission's website, the water level at the Old Railway Bridge rose from 203.48 metres at 3 pm on Monday to 204.94 metres at 6 pm on Tuesday.

The flow rate at the Hathnikund barrage in Haryana's Yamunanagar district stood at 30,153 cusecs -- considered moderate during the monsoon season.
