Parts of Delhi may face water crisis today as ammonia levels rise in Yamuna

Parts of the national capital are expected to face a severe water crisis today, as ammonia levels have gone up in River Yamuna. The acceptable limit is of 0.5 ppm. Ammonia levels increase frequently in the Yamuna. The high level of ammonia present in the water makes it difficult for aquatic organisms to sufficiently excrete the toxicant, leading to toxic build-up in internal tissues and blood, and potentially death.
