Floodplain encroachment, vanishing wetlands and the 25 bridges on the path of the Yamuna in Delhi have aggravated the flooding of the river, experts have concurred. Rain is not the only culprit. In the last four days, Delhi has seen little or no rain but the river has risen and risen. A lot has been said about the release of water from the Hathnikund Barrage in Haryana. However, the numbers don't add up well for this argument, either.
