&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Delhi relies heavily on the polluted Yamuna, neighbouring Haryana for its water supply. The groundwater table is also fast depleting. Natural and artificial water bodies in the city are being targeted by land sharks as well as local residents who have turned them into garbage dumps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;More than half of Delhi&amp;rsquo;s 1000 water bodies have either dried up, encroached upon or acquired for infrastructure development. That is bad news for a city which relies heavily on heavily polluted Yamuna and neighbouring states for its water supply and has a fast depleting groundwater table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those which still have some semblance of a water body left are being used as sewage and waste dumping spots and are drying up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Hindustan Times took stock of the water bodies in Delhi to find out what ails them and how they can be revived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Pollution kills&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Every time a breeze sweeps across Aya Nagar in south Delhi, Sunita Kaul a homemaker has to either cover her nose or has to shut the kitchen window that overlooks a pond that sprawls over nearly an acre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locals once used to bathe and drink water from the same pond. But now it chokes with garbage and its black water stinks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Most of the drains that carry the locality&amp;rsquo;s sewage empty directly into the pond. There is an open vat on the banks of the pond and people often dump their garbage in the pond. The stench is horrible at times,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experts claimed that the ponds located in the villages and illegal colonies are the most vulnerable. With no proper drainage system in these areas, locals use these water bodies as dumping grounds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We have been fighting over the past two years and almost Rs 1.2 crore has been spent. There is a high court order to build a sewage treatment plant. But nothing has happened,&amp;rdquo; said Ved Pal, a social activist and the newly elected local councillor of Aya Nagar. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Delhi relies heavily on the polluted Yamuna, neighbouring Haryana for its water supply. The groundwater table is also fast depleting. Natural and artificial water bodies in the city are being targeted by land sharks as well as local residents who have turned them into garbage dumps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;More than half of Delhi&amp;rsquo;s 1000 water bodies have either dried up, encroached upon or acquired for infrastructure development. That is bad news for a city which relies heavily on heavily polluted Yamuna and neighbouring states for its water supply and has a fast depleting groundwater table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those which still have some semblance of a water body left are being used as sewage and waste dumping spots and are drying up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Hindustan Times took stock of the water bodies in Delhi to find out what ails them and how they can be revived.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Pollution kills&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Every time a breeze sweeps across Aya Nagar in south Delhi, Sunita Kaul a homemaker has to either cover her nose or has to shut the kitchen window that overlooks a pond that sprawls over nearly an acre.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Locals once used to bathe and drink water from the same pond. But now it chokes with garbage and its black water stinks. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Most of the drains that carry the locality&amp;rsquo;s sewage empty directly into the pond. There is an open vat on the banks of the pond and people often dump their garbage in the pond. The stench is horrible at times,&amp;rdquo; she said.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Delhi relies heavily on the polluted Yamuna, neighbouring Haryana for its water supply. The groundwater table is also fast depleting. Natural and artificial water bodies in the city are being targeted by land sharks as well as local residents who have turned them into garbage dumps. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
New Delhi: &lt;/em&gt;More than half of Delhi&amp;rsquo;s 1000 water bodies have either dried up, encroached upon or acquired for infrastructure development. That is bad news for a city which relies heavily on heavily polluted Yamuna and neighbouring states for its water supply and has a fast depleting groundwater table.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those which still have some semblance of a water body left are being used as sewage and waste dumping spots and are drying up.&lt;br /&gt;

Half of Delhi's 1,000 water bodies vanished due to garbage dumping, encroachments -Joydeep Thakur

-Hindustan Times Delhi relies heavily on the polluted Yamuna, neighbouring Haryana for its water supply. The groundwater table is also fast depleting. Natural and artificial water bodies in the city are being targeted by land sharks as well as local residents who have turned them into garbage dumps. New Delhi: More than half of Delhi’s 1000 water bodies have either dried up, encroached upon or acquired for infrastructure development. That is bad news for a city which relies heavily on heavily polluted Yamuna and neighbouring states for its water supply and has a fast depleting groundwater table. Those which still have some semblance of a water body left are being used as sewage and waste dumping spots and are drying up. The Hindustan Times took stock of the water bodies in Delhi to find out what ails them and how they can be revived. Pollution kills Every time a breeze sweeps across Aya Nagar in south Delhi, Sunita Kaul a homemaker has to either cover her nose or has to shut the kitchen window that overlooks a pond that sprawls over nearly an acre. Locals once used to bathe and drink water from the same pond. But now it chokes with garbage and its black water stinks. “Most of the drains that carry the locality’s sewage empty directly into the pond. There is an open vat on the banks of the pond and people often dump their garbage in the pond. The stench is horrible at times,” she said. Experts claimed that the ponds located in the villages and illegal colonies are the most vulnerable.
