New Delhi: Ongoing research and upcoming reports on the water crisis present a deeply concerning picture. A report by the NITI Aayog had already warned that by 2030, nearly 40 percent of India’s population may not have adequate access to clean drinking water.
Major metropolitan cities such as Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad have now been included among the world’s most water-stressed urban regions. In several areas, the situation has become so critical that residents are entirely dependent on water tankers and are often forced to stand in long queues for hours just to meet their basic daily water needs.
