The paper assesses the physical extents of Yamuna to identify its impact over the various water resources in the city of Delhi. The paper highlights the water management scenario in the city of Delhi during its pre-independence and post-independence period. The impact of urbanisation on Yamuna River is described as part of post-independence development, which not only lead to the depletion in water quantity but also deteriorated its quality. The water quantity is analysed through the encroachments and tapering of Yamuna floodplains during the post-independence period. However, due to the limitation of time and scope of this study the water quality is assessed and analysed only for the Jamia Nagar area, due to the ease of data collection and subsequent testing using pH test in laboratory. The analysis and discussions identify the reason for the extensive use of RO systems implemented in Jamia Nagar area.
