With officials deciding to shutdown the city's water system for 24 hours to make repairs, Mumbaikars creatively meet the challenges of daily life without running water for a day.
To rejuvinate Mumbai's aging infrastructure and add to the city's water supply, the city's Municipal Commissioner is trying to improve its water lines, all in one day.
"Mumbai supplies 3200 million litres of water for 18 million people every day."
"Authorities gave notice of their decision and asked people to stock up on water ahead of the shutdown."
"After the warning, people stood in long lines on Tuesday evening and early Wednesday morning to collect water from public taps and water tankers. They stored water in buckets, vessels and even plastic pouches."
