Man riding a tractor carries a water tank in the busy streets of Delhi.
In the years of drought that are inevitable in the years ahead, in India, this is going to be an increasingly familiar sight - the use of fossil fuels to move water resources to deprived sections and residential areas... India has not been able to arrange potable water for its teeming population!
Delhi has significant reliance on its transport infrastructure. The city has developed a highly efficient public transport system with the introduction of the Delhi Metro, which is undergoing a rapid modernization and expansion. There are 5.5 million registered vehicles in the city, which is the highest in the world among all cities most of which do not follow any pollution emission norm (within municipal limits), while the Delhi metropolitan region (NCR Delhi) has 11.2 million vehicles. Delhi and NCR lose nearly 42 crore (420 million) man-hours every month while commuting between home and office through public transport, due to the traffic congestion. Therefore serious efforts, including a number of transport infrastructure projects, are under way to encourage usage of public transport in the city.
