The city of Delhi gets a lot of rain every year, more than sufficient for its needs, but it does not use that rainwater. It had hundreds of water bodies, but it has destroyed most of them and continues to destroy the remaining ones. For its supply of water Delhi looks for the easy option of proposing a massive dam in a far off area. The city is powerful enough to make the government cough up Rs 4,000 crores required for the new reservoir.The dam in question is the proposed Renuka dam over the Giri River (a tributary of the Yamuna river) in Sirmour district of Himachal Pradesh.
