CHENNAI WATER CRISIS

''Although two thirds of our planet is water ,we face an acute water shortage .The water crisis is most pervasive ,most severe ,and most invisible dimension of the ecological devastation of earth''

The 2019 Chennai water crisis is an ongoing water crisis occurring India, most notably in the city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu. On 19 June 2019, Chennai city officials declared that "Day Zero", or the day when almost no water is left, had been reached, as all the four main reservoirs supplying water to the city had run dry. Two years of deficient monsoon rainfall, particularly in late 2017 and throughout much of 2018 had led to this crisis.

The drought is experienced in starkly uneven ways across the city.In this tightening cycle of droughts ,the citiy's centralised water system generates more problems than solutions .Its supply -oriented dilemmas  has reduced Chennai's residents hoping and coping.

At the present the conditions are getting well Tamil Nadu state government received 25 million litres of water as help and promised to fulfill the needs of the people for around six months.
