Delhi LG Saxena seeks public opinion on meeting city's water demand

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena on Monday invited suggestions from the public to make the national capital self-sufficient in meeting drinking water demand. The LG said Delhi's water demands are unsustainable and there is a shortage of around 280 million gallons a day (MGD) of drinking water in the city. "Instead of blaming others, let us together make the capital self-sufficient by conserving water and augmenting our groundwater.
