Are metropolitan cities like Delhi, Mumbai and Bangalore sustainable in the long run?
Recently, I read about the Bangalore water crisis and how authorities are requesting people to use disposable plates to eat in order to save water. In Bangalore there is so much scarcity of water that people are forced to do such things. In the same way Delhi in summers deals with water scarcity and people sometimes have to spend many days without having a shower. It is sad to see that big cities that provide employment to a large population are struggling with basic necessities like clean water.I don't know where these metropolitan cities are going but the future doesn't look good for them. You can't live without water and if these issues persist people will be forced to leave these big cities. Employment is important but not at the cost of basic necessities. What's your opinion about this crisis? Although India is blessed with monsoons every year to fulfill water needs, still there should be a way to tackle this situation otherwise it is going to become worse in future. India is mainly an agricultural economy and it all depends on water.
