Environmentalists and experts have warned that a proposed Sabarmati-style riverfront development along the Yamuna in Delhi could worsen flood risks in the capital, according to a report by Hindustan Times. A letter cited by the publication argues that the Sabarmati riverfront model, implemented in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, cannot be directly replicated along the Yamuna without accounting for fundamental differences between the two river systems. The signatories contend that the Yamuna's hydrology, floodplain characteristics, and seasonal flow patterns differ significantly from those of the Sabarmati, making a similar channelization and concretization approach potentially dangerous for Delhi.
