Gollum Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Wonder why this isn't making national headlines? Drought-hit Chennai has 1.3% of water in its reservoirs Chennai may soon go dry due to drought and government's failure to find alternative water source Just two years after being hit by the worst drought in 140 years Chennai is parched once again randomGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gollum Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 MoEFCC must be promoted up the ranks, make it a cabinet position equivalent to Home, Finance, Defence, Railways etc and not one that gets spare change and attention. Both Centre and states need to make pro-environment policies and decisions with missionary zeal. Watching the people of Chennai desperately fighting for water in front of the tankers breaks my heart. Groundwater level has dipped alarmingly, things look ominous. Unfortunately last 2 cyclones that hit the eastern coast, both missed the state. randomGuy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coffee_rules Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Why only Chennai, most Indian cities will run out of water in the next ten years, if we don't link rivers or have measures of rain water harvesting or desalination plants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
