Leaking pipelines waste 40% water [1]

The Delhi Jal Board has been found woefully short in providing adequate water supply in the city, with its leaking pipe networks reporting a wastage of a huge 40 per cent of water in its distribution channel. The DJB has also fallen short in meeting its own target of 855 MGD (million gallon per day) by March this year as it could reach the level of 785 MGD by the target date.
