Explanation:
This summer Chennai has faced one of the worst water crisis to date. The reasons responsible for it were identified as poor rainfall and depletion of groundwater. The situation was so worse that a special train was sent there by the central government carrying water for the residents of the city.
When the investigation was carried out it was found that the natural lakes surrounding the city were polluted and it provided the major source for groundwater recharge. The government decided to implement mandatory rainwater harvesting and measures to clean those lakes so that the groundwater can be recharged. And, Chennai could be saved from a future water crisis.
