Will the water scarcity problem be solved by the state government ? ? ?

My comments to replies
Many programmes of work and large amounts of money have been directed at solving these water shortages but with only limited success. As both competition for water and demand have continued to rise sharply, it can be argued that the water challenges facing Chennai are becoming more severe and more difficult to solve. It is clear also that the escalating demand for water of the Chennai metropolitan area is putting more and more pressure on the periurban and more distant rural areas that are the main sources of Chennai’s water supply. The nature and scale of water scarcity in the city and the approaches taken by the Government to tackle the situation.

The State Government’s approaches to water service delivery in the city one hand cater to the water needs of city dwellers but on the other hand deprive peri-urban areas and more distant rural areas of their water rights. It is argued that this leads to an imbalance of water equity between urban areas and the areas that are the sources of Chennai’s water supply .
