Do you think water in Chennai is available to and affordable by all? Discuss.

$\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\pink{Answer:-}}}}}$Water is not equally available to all citizens in Chennai. Water in Chennai is supplied by the municipality, which fails to meet the demand 100%. Some areas get regular water supply, while many areas get erratic supply of water. People from the middle class and upper class buy packaged drinking water or water from tankers. The burden of water supply shortage falls mostly on the poor, as they cannot afford the expense of tanker or packaged water. Those who live close to the storage points get more water, while colonies further away receive less supply.

Answer 2

Answer:

No mate, water in Chennai is not available and affordable by all. Muncipal supply meets only about half the needs of the people of the city, on an average. ... The middle class people manage water through a variety of private means such as digging borewells, buying water from tankers and using boltled water for drinking.
