A Major Indian City Has Nearly Run Out of Water
In Chennai - India’s sixth largest city - 4.6 million people have all but run out of water.
Those who can afford it rely on private water tankers, although these are mostly inaccessible for the 820,000 people who live in the city’s slums.
The situation is becoming dire, and it’s causing tension in the city. There are recent stories of neighbours stabbing each other over access to water.
