Default SPECIAL: India facing unprecedented water shortage

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8138273.stm

India's capital, Delhi, is also reeling from depleted water supplies,
while many towns and villages across the country still have woefully
inadequate safe drinking water facilities.

They depend largely on bore wells, which have seriously depleted the
country's water table.

The BBC's Zubair Ahmed in Mumbai says farm produce is also likely to be
badly affected if the full monsoon does not arrive soon.
