    The document summarizes the Yamuna Action Plan projects implemented by the Government of India and Japan to address pollution of the Yamuna River. YAP-I was launched in 1993 to improve sanitation and build sewage treatment plants along the Yamuna in Delhi and other cities. However, it had limitations like underutilized STPs. YAP-II continued the work from 2003-2009, expanding sewage infrastructure with Japanese loans. Future YAP-III projects focused on decentralized wastewater management and other initiatives to further reduce pollution loads entering the Yamuna River.

     Its coverage was proportionally low under the sewerage components of YAP.
     STP capacity remained under-utilised 25%-45%.
     As a result under treated water continued to flow into river.
     YAP-I did not adequately address non-point sources of pollution.
     When YAP-I scheme were being designed the wastewater discharge
    standards did not mandate STP effluents to comply with any bacteriological
    water quality standards.
     YAP-I major target was to control immediate pollution loads from domestic
    sector.
     The plans created was designed for 1998 population.
