There is simply not enough water in Delhi, to support any more growth.....

Hitting out at the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) for "sanctioning mass building and construction across the city without factoring in the water availability" DJB chief Ramesh Negi said: "In wake of the city's water woes and a total hydrological imbalance, there has to be an end to the vertical growth. The DDA should ban further growth. Unless this is done, the city can never have an equitable water supply." There is "simply not enough water in Delhi", to support any more growth, he told Newsline.
EXCERPTS FROM NEWS PUBLISHED IN INDIAN EXPRESS : ONLY 1 WATER CONNECTION PER FLAT : DELHI JAL BOARD ( DJB ) : Link in headline above for detailed news, with thanks to Indian Express.

OUR QUESTIONS : 
If there is not enough water in Delhi to support any more growth and it's being said by none other than DJB Chief Mr Ramesh Negi, than how the builders lobby is on it's peak in almost every part of the city ? Why the water harvesting is not being enforced, even though, normal to heavy rains are being expected this season ? Why the water is being wasted from various leakages in DJB pipes ? Who is responsible for this mismanagement ? Your most valued comments please.
