Question

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

Answer 1

I THINK THAT THE WATER IN CHENNAI IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR ALL IN SOME AREA OF CHENNAI WATER DOES NOT REACH AND IF THEY REACH THERE THE WATER IS VERY BAD AND IT CONTAINS LOTS OF GERMS AND DUE TO BAD WATER SUPPLE PEOPLE CAUSE SOME DANGEROUS DISEASES. THE WATER OF CHENNAI IS SALINE IN TASTE AND IT CONTAINS LOTS OF BACTERIA WITH IT AND IF WE DRINK THEM WE BECOME ILL. SO THE WATER SUPPLY OF CHENNAI IS NOT SUFFICIENT FOR ALL.

Answer 2

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.
