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.

With Delhi facing a heatwave since the onset of summer, water levels in the Yamuna are critically low, threatening supplies to parts of the national capital. Officials with the Delhi Jal Board said on April 30 that the water level in the Wazirabad pond, an important reservoir of the Yamuna, has dropped by 20cm, affecting its daily lifting of nearly 3,400 litres per second. To replenish the pond, the Board has approached Haryana to release 4,250litres of water per second through the river until the monsoon.
