Solution
Water
in Chennai is not available to and affordable by all. Availability of
a good, regular water supply is proportionate to the level of income
one earns, in this city. Senior government officials in areas like
Anna Nagar can get a whole water tanker arranged for themselves; most
areas like Mylapore get water once in two days; in Madipakkam, people
buy bottled water for drinking purposes but the situation is the
worst in slums. Here, water supply runs for barely an hour everyday
from a single tap serving over thirty families for all their water
needs.
