Bengaluru Water Crisis May Force School Closure: "No Water To Drink, Wash Hands"

Some Bengaluru schools may be forced to shut down temporarily due to the growing water shortage in the city. These schools say the lack of water means they are unable to give children any protection from the sweltering heat; temperatures in the Karnataka capital have already crossed 30 degrees Celsius, with Thursday's high at 33 and the mercury expected to touch 37 by next weekend. The city faces a severe shortfall - of over 1,500 MLD, or million litres per day - in its daily water requirement, which ranges from 2,600 to 2,800 MLD. According to the state government, more than 3,000 bore wells in the city have dried up and 223 of the state's 236 talukas are drought-affected.
