After wreaking havoc on lives and livelihoods in parts of Delhi close to it, the swollen Yamuna on Saturday, July 15 morning followed a downward trend, albeit at a slow pace of a few centimetres per hour.
However, it is still flowing over two metres above the danger mark of 205.33 metres.
The situation could worsen if weather predictions of more rain in the capital and upper catchment areas come true.
