Can you elaborate? I'm reading your argument as "This is not such a big deal because there are other horrifying things that are an even bigger deal", but I'm guessing that's not what you mean. Are you saying this will resolve itself _naturally_ in time? And if so, what gives you confidence?

If India was Syria, then it would be a bit more horrifying, as even simple rain harvesting wont solve the problem in Syria.

India is filled with problems, let me put it this way, if India was blessed with the amount of freshwater as Canada, India would still misuse it terribly.

Its a good thing there is no petroleum.

The problem here is not rain, or climate change or drought - but politics, corruption and bureaucracy. India needs its own Meji Restoration - some type of shock therapy - or else the suffering will just continue to get worse.
