**Headline: Yamuna River Shows Temporary Improvement in Water Quality After Monsoon Floods**

**New Delhi – September 26, 2025** – The Delhi stretch of the Yamuna River has experienced a temporary improvement in water quality during September, according to a monthly report by the Delhi Pollution Control Committee (DPCC). The improved water quality is attributed to the monsoon floodwaters flushing out pollutants.

The report indicates that the increase in water volume caused by heavy rainfall in the river’s upper reaches diluted pollutants, leading to better water quality parameters. However, officials caution that this improvement is typically short-lived, with water quality declining as the monsoon season ends.

Despite the recent gains, the DPCC report also revealed that the Yamuna’s water quality still fails to meet bathing standards at most testing points along the Delhi stretch. Data collection was also hampered due to heavy flow conditions, with water quality not measured at two points.

The Delhi stretch of the Yamuna remains one of the most polluted river stretches in India. For decades, despite repeated directives from the Supreme Court and the National Green Tribunal (NGT) to clean the river, the water quality remains poor. The Hindu will continue to follow this story.
