Big laxity of Shimla Municipal Corporation leads to wastage of thousand liters of water

The availability of water from all sources, meeting Shimla’s demand, has fallen to 22 million litres a day (MLD) against the normal availability of 42 MLD. This is mainly due to low water discharge in the sources due to dry spell in the region. “It’s an unusual situation if you look at past three years’ data. The water availability during summer plumed to 29 or 30 MLD during 2015, 2016 and 2017.This year, we are between 22 MLD or 23 MLD. That makes it tough to meet the demand,” said Shimla civic chief Rohit Jamwal.
