The water shortage is attributed to a combination of factors, including a lack of rainfall, infrastructure issues, and a rising population, which has put immense pressure on the city’s already strained water resources. The situation has been exacerbated by the failure of ongoing water supply projects to meet deadlines, leaving many areas without adequate supply.
Residents have voiced their concerns to the Guwahati Municipal Corporation (GMC) and other authorities, urging them to expedite water supply projects and implement long-term solutions to tackle the crisis. In response, the GMC has assured citizens that efforts are underway to improve water supply infrastructure and expand coverage to affected areas.
As the city grapples with this worsening crisis, there is an urgent need for sustainable water management strategies to ensure that Guwahati’s residents have access to clean and adequate water supply in the future.
