Answer:
Ans.
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 the city. Municipal supply meets only about half the needs of the people of the city, on an average. There are areas which get water more regularly than others. Those areas that are close to the storage point get more water whereas colonies farther away receive less water.
In areas like Anna Nagar, Senior government officials can get a whole water tanker arranged for themselves; most areas like Mylapore get water once in two days. People buy bottled water for drinking purposes in Madipakkam.
In slums situation is the worst. Water supply runs for barely an hour every day from a single tap serving over thirty families for all their water needs. Apart from the availability of water, access to "safe" drinking water is only for the privileged who can afford bottled water and water purifiers. The poor are denied "sufficient and safe" drinking water.
The poor are the worst victims of the shortfalls in the water supply. The middle class people manage water through a variety of private means such as digging borewells, buying water from tankers and using bottled water for drinking.
It is essential that the government ensures that the city's residents are provided access to "sufficient and safe" drinking water for an opportunity to live a decent life.
