In drought-hit Delhi, the haves get limitless water, the poor fight for every drop

India Today  

In this teeming capital city of more than 20 million people, a worsening drought is amplifying the vast inequality between India's rich and poor. India's water crisis is far from even-handed - the elite in Delhi and most other parts of the country remain unaffected while the poor scramble for supplies every day. WATER GANGS Delhi's main government district and the army cantonment areas get about 375 litres of water per person per day but residents of Sangam Vihar on average receive only 40 litres for each resident per day. Most private tanker operators in Delhi either illegally pump out fast depleting ground water or steal the water from government supplies, various government studies show. Almost all middle-class residents in the city have either water purifiers at home or they buy big cans of water from Bisleri, India's top bottled water brand, Coca-Cola Co or PepsiCo Inc. Bottled water suppliers reported a nearly three-fold jump in sales in India between 2012 and 2017, according to market research company Euromonitor.
