Chadha said that the struggle of people of Delhi had paid off. "We held many rounds of conversation with the Haryana government and even filed a petition in the Supreme Court to fight for the rights of Delhites. Delhi depends on its neighbouring state for its raw water needs. "From Uttar Pradesh, water reaches us via the GAnda; from Haryana, water reaches us via the Yamuna; and from Punjab, water reaches us via the Bhakra Nangal dam. Delhi does not have any big water bodies nearby, Chadha said. He added, "I express my regrets for all the troubles that people of Delhi have gone through." DJB manages about 14,500 km of water lines to provide water supply and sewerage services to about 20 million people of Delhi. It has capacity of producing 935 MGD water through its nine water treatment plants, ranney wells and tubewells. The Bhagirathi plant produces 108 MGD potable water while the one at Sonia Vihar up to 140 MGD potable water under normal circumstances. Both the major plants are fed by raw water from the Upper GAnga conal. Rest of the raw water comes mainly through the Yamuna, DSB cana and CLC munak canal besides sub-surface sources. Chadha says We held many rounds of conversation with Haryana and even filed a petition in SC to fight for Delhities' rights. Don't blame Haryana for everything. Claiming that Delhi Government blamed the neighbouring state for every adverse thing, Haryana chief minister Manohar Lal Khatar on Tuesday said if AAP could not handle Delhi, it should give it to them to govern it. Khattar was responding to a question on whether Haryana was not providing a fair share of water to Delhi. "We are providing water to Delhi according to the orders of the supreme Court, even though Haryana is facing a lot of difficulty. Our water requirement is not less than Delhi's. Haryana hasa population of 2.90 crore, whereas Delhi's population is two crore only. Our requirement is 1.5 times more than Delhi. We get 2,000 cusec of water from Yamuna, out of which we give 1,060 cusec of water to Delhi, said Khattar.
