The civic administration’s near-zero planning and capacity building for storage and conservation of water has deepened the crisis for the 20-lakh plus denizens who are left with dry taps for three days a week and receive least water as compared to the neighbouring cities of Mumbai, Kalyan-Dombivli, Ulhasnagar activists said. An average resident from Thane receives barely 145 litres of water to meet all his daily requirements, which is far less compared to the metros in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (See Box). In comparison, Mumbai and even the Ulhasnagar corporations have adequate water supplied even though almost all corporations in the MMR have been facing water cuts.
