Every monsoon, the Yamuna spills over its banks and this year nearly ten thousand families have again been forced to leave their homes. Entire clusters along the floodplains now lie under water, with people crowded into relief camps set up beneath metro stations and along roadside patches. Inside, basic rations, drinking water and temporary bedding are distributed, but daily life has come to a halt. Children are cut off from schools, workers from wages, and families from their routines. What remains is a cycle of loss and rebuilding, repeated each year as the river rises as the city tries to hold its breath.

In Savda Ghevra and other informal settlements, even a simple glass of water comes at a huge cost. Families spend up to 15% of their tiny monthly incomes on buying canned water because taps rarely provide safe drinking water. Getting an RO system is simply unaffordable. Broken toilets, leaking roofs, damp walls, and unsafe homes make daily life even harder. Women are often forced to relieve themselves in nearby fields. Greenpeace India’s audit exposes these harsh realities and calls for urgent solutions, like water ATMs and tankers, to ensure residents have safe, reliable water.
