Drought in Chennai in India

An Indian youth walks on the dry banks of Puzhal reservoir on the outskirts of Chennai.

Indian residents carry a plastic pot drinking water from a distribution point in Chennai on June 19, 2019. Water levels in the four main reservoirs in Chennai have fallen to one of its lowest levels in 70 years, according to Indian media reports. - The drought is the worst in living memory for the bustling capital of Tamil Nadu state, India's sixth largest city, that is getting less than two thirds of the 830 million litres of water it normally uses each day.
