Tamil nadu water crisis: after bengaluru, the water crisis now has hit tamil nadu and chennai among 26 districts has been worst affected as groundwater level has depleted in these. Even though chennai’s water system evolved based on need, water planning did not have a proactive approach, thus resulting in the current situation. several situations have also led to interstate water conflicts such as the ‘kaveri river conflict’ with the neighboring state of karnataka.

Without strong government involvement, known solutions to india’s water crisis won’t be implemented at a large enough scale to affect the bigger picture. chennai is a case in point.
