Since the time I remember, Chennai has had water shortage. That is, at least since '70s. There used to be talk of bringing Krishna water to Chennai during those years.Then as I went to college, friends from TN used to narrate the "shortage and water rationing" in Chennai. As water table in our village was between 5m and 10m at the time, I could never imagine that something like water can ever be in short supply. Then I was taught Hydrology as part of the curriculum and I realised that all water shortages are manmade, or more exactly, are because man failed to have manmade arrangements.
