“…In Rampur Camp, beginning in 2011, a Delhi-based NGO teamed up with a set of state officials, international actors and donors, local women and neighborhood strongmen to replace state tanker deliveries with tubewell water. The internal piped system, drawing from the city's rapidly depleting groundwater (Maria, 2006), was extended first and foremost to the predominately Hindu-side and those residents who could pay start-up and monthly fees.…”

“…However, the formalization process only benefitted residents who were able to afford signing up for state water, and who were also fortuitously located in a geographic position in relation to other houses, hills, and pipes such that water pressure was sufficient (given that the groundwater in the vicinity was particularly scarce (Maria, 2006)). …”

“…La multiplication de ces filières parallèles, souvent basées sur l'exploitation de la ressource souterraine locale, engendre une dégradation rapide de cette ressource alors même que son rôle dans l'approvisionnement de la ville prend une importance tous les jours croissante, jusqu'à atteindre, en terme de volume, la contribution de l'approvisionnement par le réseau.

This chapter analyses the groundwater table data derived from various wells across Delhi for the 2007-2011 period in order to examine the fl uctuation in the groundwater table. Due to the inconsistency in data coverage, data for only one pre-monsoon month (May) was analysed. It was found that the depth to the groundwater table increased during 2007-2010 for all of the districts except the northeast district. Nevertheless, this trend changed in 2011 due to the groundwater recharge and heavy rains in 2010. Parameters infl uencing the groundwater availability (e.g., population growth and density, urbanisation etc.) indicate that Delhi may soon face a groundwater crisis if efforts to retard population infl ux into Delhi is not checked. This could be done by improving economy and infrastructure in the adjoining states thus making Delhi less attractive for the migrating population. In addition, the practice of apartmentisation (converting single or double story homes into multiple apartments) should be slowed down or permitted wisely by bearing in mind future groundwater sustainability.
