Description
Environmental problems in Delhi, India, are a threat to the well-being of the city's and area's inhabitants as well as the flora and fauna. Delhi, the eighth-most populated metropolis in the world, is one of the most heavily polluted cities in India, having for instance one of the country's highest volumes of particulate matter pollution. Overpopulation and the ensuing over use of scarce resources such as water put heavy pressure on the environment.
