A year into what has been an excruciating entry into a decade that was replete with hope, we take a trip down the memory lane to the last. Ostensibly linked to the deficit in rainfall, several parts of Indiahad faced its worst water crisis in a while. Chennai had actually gained international media attention when day zero was declared, no lessons learnt from the horrendous times Cape Town went through just a year prior. In the rural world, Saurashtra remains perennially parched. NITI Aayog too reiterated the specter of doom with its CWMI* report, which revealed that nearly half the population and 40% of Indias agricultural produce are in a fickle zone.
