Indian campaign to save water this summer

Groundwater may run out in 21 cities, including Delhi and Chennai, by 2020

Save water. The message for Indians this summer is loud and clear from national and local leaders and water experts.

Across India in 256 water-stressed districts, a massive campaign for water conservation and water security was kick-started last week by Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, the first to head the new Jal Shakti Ministry, which is charged with forming water policy and regulation of water resources.
