Answer:

Tamil Nadu &  Rajasthan

Explanation:

Tamil Nadu state in south India suffers from seasonal extremes in water availability. Sometimes there is too much water, and in other seasons not enough. Chennai, the coastal capital of 10 million people, experienced a “Day Zero” crisis this summer, as its four main reservoirs dried up completely.  The scarcity of water has seen the city's main reservoirs run dry. Borewells are depleted and the groundwater levels have fallen sharply. Tankers have become the primary source of water for the population. The dire state has been attributed to the failure of the northeast monsoon on which the city is heavily reliant.

Rajasthan is India's largest state with nearly 11 percent of the country's land but access to only two percent of the national water. More than half of the state is under severe water crisis and a sustainable solution is one of the main demands of the voters across the state which goes to polls on December 7. In various parts of Rajasthan, people have taken to streets to protest against the depleting water level and there are 19 blocks in the state that come under dark zones. The reason for this is the extraction of groundwater at a faster rate than its recharge, especially when the monsoon was poor.
