Delhi News – Times of India
NEW DELHI: Last week, Delhi was grappling with Haryana and Himachal Pradesh for water in the Supreme Court. Big numbers – 137 cusecs, 150 cusecs – got tossed around. A cusec is 28.3 litres of water per second. There are 86,400 seconds in a day. Do the math and you are looking at 33.5 crore to 36.7 crore litres a day.
It’s a lot of water, but nothing compared with what Delhi could have got every summer, without begging, pleading, fighting, and litigating, had a long-promised dam been built on a small, unsung river 250km away.
