What happened
Water supply in certain areas of Gurugram is scarce, with some residents reporting receiving water only once every three days. In Dundahera village, residents spent Rs 6,000 on private tankers last month to cope with shortages. The city's piped water originates at Basai and Chandu Budhera treatment plants, which treat approximately 670 mega litres per day from the Gurgaon Water Supply Canal and the NCR Canal.

Why it matters
The scarcity of water, which is most severe in the 'tail-end areas' of the city's water network, forces residents to rely on expensive private tankers. This situation demonstrates the strain on the city's infrastructure due to population growth and insufficient funding.
