In various regions across India, severe water shortages are affecting millions. In New Delhi’s Vivekananda Camp, residents rely on communal taps for just two hours daily, supplemented by tanker deliveries. Rajasthan faces taps every four days, while near Mumbai, fetching water entails miles of travel. Bengaluru, amidst a tech boom, recently suffered water shortages requiring tanker support. These challenges worsen amid record heat and drying water sources, impacting agriculture, industry, and escalating food prices.
