The mad rush for water http://apocadocs.com/s.pl?1242161940
KANPUR: The Khuranas leave bed early in the morning everyday at 5.00 this May, not to jog and gym, but to fill water as this is the only time it is
easily available. Ravi Khurana, head of family and a banker said, "The water supply has a steady flow in early morning hours so we wake up early to store enough water for our daily requirements."
Water has become a priced and elusive commodity in the concrete desert of this city and everybody can feel its shortage.
The problem increases in high-rise buildings. Along with rising mercury, family budgets too are rising with a new entrant in their household items -- water cans. Talking to TOI, Anupam Shukla, a resident of Swaroopnagar said, "Motor pumps are proving to be incapable of supplying water to our sixth floor apartment. Hence, we are forced to buy water cans of 20 litre capacity to store drinking water."
He added, "We do not use the water supplied directly for drinking purpose, rather using it for performing other household chores and for bathing etc."
