A common sight in Latur's villages. Umargaon in Latur taluka has 500 families. District administration has acquired 2 private borewells. Drinking water is being supplied at 4 water supply points after every 4 days. If one water supply point gets water today, its next turn will come after 4 days. Last year we were getting water every 2 days. This year, its after 4 days. Situation is very bad. If this year we do not get good rainfall, then survival wil be difficult, a villager.
