New Delhi, March 7 Water supply will be affected in parts of national capital due to less receipt of raw water in the Yamuna river.

"Due to less receipt of raw water in Yamuna river and reduction of Yamuna pond level i.e. 671.70 ft. against the normal level of 674.50 ft. at Wazirabad Barrage, the water production has been affected in Wazirabad and Chandrawal Water Treatment Plant", said the Delhi Jal Board.
