chardhams of uttarakhand
Yamunotri is one of the Chardhams of Uttarakhand.
The other three being Gangotri, Kedarnath and Badrinath.
Such is the significance of Yamunotri that is to be visited first among the Char Dhams of Uttarakhand.
The other reason of Yamunotri being visited before the other dhams is that the Char Dham Yatra is essentially done from left to right.

For large-scale natural water storage in the floodplains of Delhi's Yamuna
Using the floodplain of yamuna
The top layer of accumulated sand washed down by floods over millions of years, makes river
floodplains into giant aquifers. We propose a scheme for the natural storage of excess monsoon
river-water discharge in the extensive and deep sand top layer of the floodplain of the river. The
excess monsoon discharge can be used for a regulated inundation of an embanked area of the
floodplain – to soak in and store the water. This storage can then be used for the withdrawal of
water during the dry months. We illustrate this by an evaluation of the potential of the Yamuna
floodplains in the National Capital Territory of Delhi and show that there can be an annual yield of
600–900 MCM of water, which is three-fourths the total water supply to Delhi. This makes it an
invaluable natural resource potentially worth about Rs 6000–9000 crores a year of non-invasive use.

Delhi on the banks of river yamuna
Located on the banks of the River Yamuna, Delhi has been continuously inhabited since at least the 6th century BC.
The sixth century BC started the first day of 600 BC and ended the last day of 501 BC.In India, Panini, sometime during this century, composed a grammar for Sanskrit, which is the one of oldest extant gramm...ar of any language after 15 other proto-dravidian languages like Brahmi.
After the rise of the Delhi Sultanate, Delhi emerged as a major political, cultural and commercial city along the trade routeTrade route between northwest India and the Indo-Gangetic plain.

Qudsia bagh
Qudsia Bagh was originally near the river Yamuna.
At eight in the morning, when the trees are filled with barbets, green pigeons, grey hornbills, red-vented bulbuls and pied wagtails.
The garden was laid out in 1748 and has a turbulent history.
In the mutiny of 1857 Indian rebels barricaded themselves inside the Walle...d City of Delhi (to which the nearby Kashmere Gate was an entrance); the British, therefore, occupied Qudsia Bagh and made it their battery ruining the garden
Today, only three monuments remain in Qudsia Bagh: the gate, the mosque, and the baradari.
What sets Qudsia Bagh apart is its combination of Mughal and British architecture; birdlife and history—and the fact that it’s rarely crowded.
Off the beaten path, and easy to get to (take the Metro to Kashmere Gate, emerge at the Boulevard Road/Qudsia Park end, and follow the road to your right).
