The nature of the Yamanu River has changed substantially since the British built the original Okhla barrage in 1874. The river was known for its fish abundance. Today the river is fed mostly by the outflow of water treatment plants. The New Okla Barrage has been full to capacity only four times since it was commissioned in 1987.[2]
