Shimla last year and Chennai this year, and we aren’t even talking about cities like Bengaluru and Delhi – you can see signs of severe water problem nearly everywhere you look. About 10 years ago, the water supply and demand stood at 650 BCM (billion cubic metres) and 634 BCM respectively. Fast forward to 2030, and the supply will rise to 744 BCM while the demand will see a 100 per cent increase to around 1,500 BCM. Can you imagine that situation? The demand and supply would be completely out of whack.
Something needs to be done. Urgently. We discuss this in the latest episode of Swarajya Standard.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
