Water Crisis In Chennai, Desperate Locals Pay Double For Private Supply

Chennai is facing a severe water crisis after its four reservoirs have turned dry and ground water levels have plummeted due to scanty rain. The Tamil Nadu capital is facing a forty per cent cut in piped water supply. The Chennai Metro Water has cut piped water supply by 40 per cent. The city requires 800 million litres of water every day. But the agency supplies only 525 million litres.
