Today, in Chennai - India's sixth largest city - 4.6 million people have all but run out of water, and only now are we beginning to pay attention.
Amid one of India's longest heat waves in recent history and back-to-back lacklustre monsoon seasons, the Chennai Metro Water has had to cut provisions by 40 percent. For weeks now, city residents have been suffering from severe water shortages.
Air conditioning has been turned off in public spaces, staff are being sent home, hospitals are struggling, and every day residents must line up for hours in the searing sun, waiting for government trucks of water to be brought in from outer areas of the state.
Wiki: Chennai is the capital of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. Located on the Coromandel Coast off the Bay of Bengal. 10.4 million in the region. 67.8 M in the state.
