Senior government officials like Mr Ramagopal live in Anna Nagar, Chennai
Bungalows here have tap water for major part of the day.
On days when the water supply is inadequate, Mr Ramagopal speaks to a
senior official whom he knows in the municipal water board and a water
tanker is easily arranged for his house.
• Subramanian’s apartments in Mylapore suffers from water shortage
He gets municipal water once in two days.
A private borewell meets some of the residents’ water needs.
Borewell water is, however, brackish so the residents use it in their toilets and for
washing. For other uses, water is purchased from tankers.
Subramanian spends upto Rs 500-600 per month on buying water from the tankers.
For drinking water, residents have installed water purification systems in their homes.

Padma works as a domestic help in Saidapet and lives in the nearby slum
She pays a rent of Rs 650 for the hutment, which has neither a bathroom
nor a tap connection.
For 30 such hutments there is a common tap at one corner, in which water
comes from a borewell for 20 minutes twice daily.
A family gets to fill a maximum of three buckets within this time. The same
water is used for washing and drinking.
In summer, the flow becomes a trickle, so that one family gets water only
at the cost of another.
People have to wait long hours for water tankers.

meet our daily needs but safe drinking water can prevent many water-related diseases.
Water is essential for life and for good health.
India has one of the largest numbers of causes of water-related diseases such as
diarrhea, dysentery, cholera. More than 1600 Indians, mostly children below the age
of five die every day because of water-related diseases.
The Constitution of India recognizes the right to water as being a part of the Right to
Life under Article 21. That means there should be “universal access” to water.
The High Courts and Supreme Court have held that the right to safe drinking water is
a Fundamental Right.
Verdicts given by courts make it as the responsibility of government to ensure the
supply of fresh drinking water.
