A boy drinks water from the dried up Pala rivulet in Kyara-Ka-Khet village in Udaipur district, southern Rajasthan. The southern and western regions of the state face acute water scarcity amid poor availability of groundwater and surface water, coupled with a severe heatwave since the onset of summer. As of mid-April, as many as 208 towns were receiving additional water supplies from the state. The Pali-Marwar region, which is suffering severe water scarcity because of the drying up of Jawai dam, has been receiving 8 million litres of water daily since April 15 through a special train from Jodhpur.
