New Delhi Hundreds of empty plastic jugs wait in rows on the cracked, dry, dusty earth. Hovering expectantly nearby, the residents of Vasant Kunj slum in South Delhi, one of the city's largest and poorest, stand waiting for a government water tanker to arrive.
It's been 10 days. Ten days since they last received a drop of water. For many families, their containers ran out days ago. They are thirsty and dirty. "It's very difficult to live like this," said Fatima Bibi, 30, who is in charge of organizing water for the slum."Everything comes from this water. Everything. Drinking, cooking, cleaning, washing."Ten minutes away are Delhi's upscale shopping malls, where you can buy a pair of sneakers for $1,000.
Yes, we can. Sustainability is key
I would say ask the folks living in Flint!
This isn't big news already happened in South Africa but since blacks run country you don't hear that in the news. But South Africas problem is the government, Indias is the size of population and lack of rainfall recently, and caste problems .
World governments should focus on water reuse/recycling before the earth is totally weaned of her fresh water sources.
Family 4, 60 liter - Drink: 4x3=12 + cook: 4 + dish wash: 5 + floors: 5 body: 4x 8=32. Dog: 2. Total 60.
Liters? Come on...
Depends if clean includes cleaning or bathing/showering yourself.. if not, yes. 60 liters is a lot and would be enough for several days for other means.
They are surrounded by ocean right Problem solved, next.
I hope they find the way soon. Faraway from water shortage because that doesn't sounds good at all. Praying for those people facing it
Could be worse. They could live in California tents.
Rain havesting is key for every home these days no matter where you live.
I guess they would have to save on washing clothes, they have to get uniform, reduce the clothes they wear, better to wash two clothes daily
That’s plenty of water. The average person uses between 80 and 100 gallons a day. That’s also the average wasteful person. I could easily survive on 16 gallons of water a day.
Absolutely
cnn is probably asking because they want responses like, “it’s America’s fault”! Or “white privilege” or “Trump’s fault”! lol you’ll see...
Let's face it, many Americans feign faux outrage over the harsh realities of the world but truth be told, they care little until it affects their world. That's what virtue signaling is all about. Care was never defined by words, it's defined by actions.
Not possible.
No.
In India definitely Yes!! Indians live on less and are frugal in their approach
Yet they have a space program and nuclear weapons ?
More reason why policy affecting watershed renewal must be pursued. Fresh water sources are depleting at a geometrical rate
Overpopulated.
Life is not fair? Why don't you do campaign for charity rather than fake news?
CNN should concentrate only crises in America, Indians can take care themselves. America is in biggest turmoil of all times.
Is that even Survivable... Long-Term?...
I'll never give up my 20 minute showers!
