    HISTORY
    Delhi, city and national
    capital territory, north-
    central India. The city
    of Delhi actually
    consists of two
    components: Old
    Delhi, in the north, the
    historic city; and New
    Delhi, in the south,
    since 1947 the capital
    of India, built in the
    first part of the 20th
    century as the capital
    of British India.
    ECOLOGY
    Two prominent features of the
    geography of Delhi are the Yamuna
    flood plains and the Delhi ridge.
    The Yamuna River was the historical
    boundary between Punjab and UP,
    and its flood plains provide fertile
    alluvial soil suitable for agriculture
    but are prone to recurrent floods.
    The Yamuna, a sacred river
    in Hinduism, is the only major river
    flowing through Delhi. The Hindon
    River separates Ghaziabad from the
    eastern part of Delhi. The Delhi
    ridge originates from the Aravalli
    Range in the south and encircles the
    west, northeast, and northwest
    parts of the city.

    Delhi's ponds, despite experiencing


    ecological deterioration due to
    garbage dumping and
    concretization, supports the largest
    number of bird species known to be
    using ponds anywhere in the
    world. Existing policy in Delhi
    prevents the conversion of wetlands
    and, quite inadvertently, has led to
    the city's ponds becoming invaluable
    refugee for birds.
    HYDROLOGY

    Drainage is an important element of physical


    infrastructure and constitutes removal and
    disposal of surplus rain/irrigation water from the
    land. It has two aspects namely flood protection
    and removal of storm water. National Capital
    Region in general, is a part of well integrated
    drainage system of the Ganga basin. The
    perennial Yamuna River, which flows in the
    eastern boundary of the state from north to
    south, plays an important role in groundwater
    system of Delhi.

    Around 10% colonies have


    water bodies within their
    boundaries
