I think this is just flavour of the month FAD that media is making fashionable. Mind you, I am not saying there is no water shortage. There is acute water shortage in some parts of the country. India has faced two back to back deficient monsoon rain condition years (Last year was due to el nino). However, this is not something which is a permanent situation. On 1st June, Monsoon would break ground in Kerala. It should cover all of India by July. By all forecasts so far, monsoon should be normal this year. At that time, rain and water deficiency would be wiped off.

"However, this is not something which is a permanent situation..." The monsoon is not permanent either.

> On 1st June, Monsoon would break ground in Kerala. It should cover all of India by July. May you please provide links to weather predictions on which you base your claims ? Given all weirdness surrounding weather-patterns due global warming etc, it seems a bit presumptuous.

Northern Australia has it's monsoon period from October to April and it only got it's first real downpour this month. With only a few months to go it's going to be a rather dry monsoon for Northern Australia. So there are no guarantees the monsoon will arrive with such great force.
