  • Latur Drought: Living On One-Third Of Its Water Requirement<br>LATUR, INDIA - APRIL 23: Villagers scramble around a tanker for potable water which comes to the spot once in a week at Beed, on April 23, 2016 in Latur, India. An estimated 400 million people in India are suffering through debilitating drought with the Marathwada region particularly hard hit. Temperatures have soared into the 4-5 degree Celsius range in some areas. It's worse for the poor in rural areas who are forced to drink from whatever water source they can find. Even as the eleventh water-bearing train chugged into Latur station on Friday, bringing in 25 lakh litres of water in its 50 wagons, it was clear that the thirst felt by this city cannot be quenched with just this much. So far, the 11 trains - nine with 10 wagons and two with 50 wagons - have supplied 95 lakh litres of water to the city. That is at least 100 lakh litres less than what Latur, a city of five lakh, needs daily (around 220 to 250 lakh litres).
