We can help, fast.

KaamGenie’s crews open hundreds of water tanks across 250+ Delhi localities every month. That gives us ground-truth data and a working expert on what the city actually stores and drinks — available to journalists on deadline. Quotes within 2 hours, 8 AM–8 PM, any day.

Divyansh

Operations Head, KaamGenie

Divyansh runs KaamGenie’s field operations across 250+ Delhi localities — the crews that clean overhead tanks, underground sumps and society tank systems every day, from Lutyens bungalows to Uttam Nagar walk-ups. He oversees the field observations behind The Delhi Water Index and can speak to what Delhi’s stored water actually looks like, zone by zone and season by season.

Tank & sump hygiene across Delhi’s zones

Seasonal contamination patterns (monsoon, summer, winter)
Hard water, scale & what it does to storage

Citable data — free with attribution

All figures below are free for editorial use, credited “KaamGenie / The Delhi Water Index” with a link. Zone-level breakdowns available on request.

Delhi needs ~1,250 MGD; produces ~961 MGD; 52.35% is lost in distribution (Delhi Economic Survey 2025–26)
Borewell belts in outer Delhi commonly test at 900–2,000 mg/L TDS — at or beyond the BIS permissible ceiling (KaamGenie field testing, indicative)
On the KaamGenie Tank Scale Index (0–100), the South West borewell belt scores 82 vs 31 for Lutyens/NDMC
Tank-contamination callouts peak August–September, after the monsoon

Seasonal briefings

Pre-prepared context for Delhi’s three recurring water news cycles. Quotes below are approved for editorial use with attribution to Divyansh, Operations Head, KaamGenie.

July – September · Current season

Monsoon & post-monsoon contamination

Waterborne-disease reports in Delhi track the monsoon; the sharpest deterioration in stored water follows the rains, as runoff and sewer overflow reach shallow groundwater and open tanks.
KaamGenie’s urgent-callout mix peaks in August–September every year — the single largest seasonal spike we see.
Borewell-dependent colonies (Uttam Nagar belt, Kirari, Sangam Vihar, outer south-west) are hit hardest: shallow borewells sit closest to contaminated recharge.

“Every year the same pattern repeats: two to three weeks after the heavy rains, complaints about smelly or discoloured tank water jump across our service areas — and the worst of it is always in colonies that depend on shallow borewells.”— Divyansh, Operations Head, KaamGenie

“Most of the contamination we physically find in tanks came in through a broken, open or missing lid. A cleaned tank with a sealed lid before the rains peak is the cheapest protection a Delhi household has.”— Divyansh, Operations Head, KaamGenie

May – June

Summer scarcity & storage stress

Delhi’s ~300 MGD structural supply gap widens in peak summer; tanker dependence rises sharply in outer colonies.
Households respond by storing more — drums plus tanks — which doubles the surfaces where sediment and algae grow, just as heat accelerates algae in translucent plastic tanks.
Tanker-fed refills carry visible silt; we see it settle as a distinct layer in tanks across tanker-dependent belts.

“In a scarcity summer, people store every litre they can — and storage that never rests never gets cleaned. By June we routinely open tanks where the family has been drawing water continuously since March.”— Divyansh, Operations Head, KaamGenie

December – February

Winter supply disruptions (Yamuna ammonia)

Ammonia spikes in the Yamuna periodically curtail treatment-plant output in winter, cutting piped supply to large parts of the city with little warning.
During cuts, households lean on stored water for days — the moment tank hygiene stops being invisible and starts being what the family is actually drinking.
Winter is also when borewell use quietly rises in affected zones, bringing hard, mineral-heavy water into tanks that normally hold treated supply.

“When the plants cut output, the tank on the roof becomes the family’s only water for two or three days. Whatever is sitting in that tank — that is what they drink. That is why we tell people the tank is Delhi’s real last-mile infrastructure.”— Divyansh, Operations Head, KaamGenie
