600 million people were affected by the drinking water crisis, and four reservoirs in key manufacturing towns bottomed out
4hw.com.cn: Recently, CNN, BBC and other Western media reported that Chennai, India's major manufacturing city and known as' Detroit in Asia ', has all' bottomed out 'in the four reservoirs supporting local water.
At present, if ordinary people in Chennai want to use water, they can only take their pots, bowls and ladles to fetch water from the faucets that can still give some water, but such places are usually crowded and lined up in long lines & hellip& hellip;
According to the data provided by CNN and other media, India's water crisis has reached an extremely dangerous level. For example, at present, as many as 600 million people in India are struggling with high or even extreme water shortage. Only a quarter of Indian families have drinking water at home, and 200000 people die every year because of insufficient water supply or pollution.
A previous BBC report pointed out that India's lack of adequate infrastructure and water pipe network is one of the reasons why many Indian families lack water.
The water crisis affected not only civilians. The Hindustan Times said that local stations had closed toilets in order to save water, while the Hindu newspaper said that the local water crisis had forced the construction industry to shut down.
Reuters also said that many hotels in India are on the verge of closure due to serious water shortage. Even large manufacturing and IT companies such as Fiat Chrysler, Tata consulting services and Wipro are reducing the water use in canteens and toilets & hellip& hellip;
It is worth mentioning that a few days ago, many Western media hyped that Foxconn would transfer China's production capacity to an Indian factory, which is also located in Chennai, where the water crisis is serious. Of course, Foxconn quickly refuted the rumor that they would take root in China and 'deeply cultivate and develop' & hellip& hellip;
It can be seen that the water crisis in India has affected the development of Indian industry.
