&lt;em&gt;The crisis is mainly being brought about by three specific factors: climate change, pollution and poor farming practices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Shimla and Bengaluru are two very disparate cities. One is a quaint hill station that acts as a summer retreat for most Indians while the other is a bustling IT hub, which makes it a popular destination for most of the corporates in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both are poles apart and, quite aptly, situated in opposite ends of the country. The only sliver of commonality between the two cities is the unfortunate water crisis that is currently afflicting daily life in both regions. Shimla ran out of water towards the end of May this year while earlier Bengaluru was listed as one the cities in the world that were most likely to suffer a similar fate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, the NITI Aayog released a report that highlighted the gravity of India&#039;s water situation. The country is facing its worst water crisis in history and if no action is taken to address this, the demand for water would far outstrip its supply by 2030. In fact, even by 2020, it is expected that 21 Indian cities will run out of groundwater. The pitiful scenes of Cape Town residents lining up for their daily quota of water dreading the day when the city turns off its taps could soon be seen closer home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to government data released last year, the annual per capita availability of water fell from 1,820 cubic meters in 2001 to 1,545 cubic meters in 2011, which may further fall to 1,341 cubic meters in 2025. Annual per capita water availability below 1,700 cubic meters is considered to be a water stressed situation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The crisis is mainly being brought about by three specific factors: climate change, pollution and poor farming practices. Exceptionally hot summers and shortened winters are resulting in retreating Himalayan glaciers, which feed most of India&#039;s northern rivers. The erratic monsoons are further worsening the situation throughout the country. This has led to an escalation in river disputes among states. At least six states are in constant conflict over the Yamuna in the north, the Narmada in the midwest and the Kaveri in the south.&lt;br /&gt;

One is a quaint hill station that acts as a summer retreat for most Indians while the other is a bustling IT hub, which makes it a popular destination for most of the corporates in India.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Both are poles apart and, quite aptly, situated in opposite ends of the country. The only sliver of commonality between the two cities is the unfortunate water crisis that is currently afflicting daily life in both regions. Shimla ran out of water towards the end of May this year while earlier Bengaluru was listed as one the cities in the world that were most likely to suffer a similar fate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Recently, the NITI Aayog released a report that highlighted the gravity of India&#039;s water situation. The country is facing its worst water crisis in history and if no action is taken to address this, the demand for water would far outstrip its supply by 2030. In fact, even by 2020, it is expected that 21 Indian cities will run out of groundwater. The pitiful scenes of Cape Town residents lining up for their daily quota of water dreading the day when the city turns off its taps could soon be seen closer home.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to government data released last year, the annual per capita availability of water fell from 1,820 cubic meters in 2001 to 1,545 cubic meters in 2011, which may further fall to 1,341 cubic meters in 2025. Annual per capita water availability below 1,700 cubic meters is considered to be a water stressed situation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The crisis is mainly being brought about by three specific factors: climate change, pollution and poor farming practices. Exceptionally hot summers and shortened winters are resulting in retreating Himalayan glaciers, which feed most of India&#039;s northern rivers. The erratic monsoons are further worsening the situation throughout the country. This has led to an escalation in river disputes among states. At least six states are in constant conflict over the Yamuna in the north, the Narmada in the midwest and the Kaveri in the south.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/not-only-bengaluru-whole-nation-is-staring-at-an-impending-water-crisis-118062600262_1.html&quot; title=&quot;https://www.business-standard.com/article/current-affairs/not-only-bengaluru-whole-nation-is-staring-at-an-impending-water-crisis-118062600262_1.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;The crisis is mainly being brought about by three specific factors: climate change, pollution and poor farming practices&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Shimla and Bengaluru are two very disparate cities. One is a quaint hill station that acts as a summer retreat for most Indians while the other is a bustling IT hub, which makes it a popular destination for most of the corporates in India.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both are poles apart and, quite aptly, situated in opposite ends of the country. The only sliver of commonality between the two cities is the unfortunate water crisis that is currently afflicting daily life in both regions. Shimla ran out of water towards the end of May this year while earlier Bengaluru was listed as one the cities in the world that were most likely to suffer a similar fate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Recently, the NITI Aayog released a report that highlighted the gravity of India&#039;s water situation. The country is facing its worst water crisis in history and if no action is taken to address this, the demand for water would far outstrip its supply by 2030. In fact, even by 2020, it is expected that 21 Indian cities will run out of groundwater. The pitiful scenes of Cape Town residents lining up for their daily quota of water dreading the day when the city turns off its taps could soon be seen closer home.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to government data released last year, the annual per capita availability of water fell from 1,820 cubic meters in 2001 to 1,545 cubic meters in 2011, which may further fall to 1,341 cubic meters in 2025.

Not only Bengaluru, whole nation is staring at an impending water crisis

-IANS The crisis is mainly being brought about by three specific factors: climate change, pollution and poor farming practices Shimla and Bengaluru are two very disparate cities.
