The Delhi government is proposing to create a 1,000-acre underground reservoir on the Yamuna floodplain. The government is taking cues from National Institute of Hydrology, IIT-Delhi and the Central Ground Water Board. The reservoir is proposed to be in Northwest Delhi's Palla. It hopes to store an estimated 37,000 million gallons of rainwater, enough to meet the city's peak summer water supply shortfall.
