India eNews - Delhi doomed to reel under water crisis: 12:04pm 1 review india, water, world, delhi
http://www.indiaenews.com/india/20080509/116838.htm; From the page: "The water crisis in the Indian capital is set to take a turn for the worse in the long term, leading perhaps to more water-related conflicts. In 2021, the city will face a deficit of over 1,000 million litres per day (MLD) - higher than the current figure of around 900 MLD. 'Providing adequate water supply to meet the city's varied needs is an onerous task. It is going to be the biggest challenge before the city in the years to come, and what makes the job indeed tougher is the limited resources for water,' a top Delhi Jal Board (DJB) official told IANS requesting anonymity."

Melting glaciers release toxic chemical cocktail - climate-change - 07 May 2008 …: 11:46am 1 review environment, birds, penguins, water, ddt
http://environment.newscientist.com/channel/earth/climate-change/dn13848-melt...; From the page: "Chemists first synthesised DDT (dichloro-diphenyl-trichloroethane) in 1874, but the chemical wasn't used an insecticide until the 1940s. DDT spraying slashed malaria rates in many countries, but the chemical's environmental toll was starting to cause concern. Rachel Carson's 1962 book, Silent Spring, brought these concerns to the general public, and described, amongst other things, how birds of prey exposed to high levels of DDT lay thin, easily cracked eggs. Though some doubted the claim, the US banned most uses of the pesticide in 1972, and the UK followed suit in 1984. Some countries still use DDT to fight mosquito-borne diseases such as malaria and dengue, but worldwide usage has plummeted ā€" from 40,000 tonnes per year in 1980 to 1,000 tonnes per year now. DDT latches onto small airborne particles then migrates toward the poles. Geisz, who has worked in Antarctica since 1999, sought to gauge long-term changes in pollutants found in the continent's seabirds."

http://www.thehindu.com/2008/05/09/stories/2008050960220300.htm; From the page: "Mayor Rayapati Mohan Sai Krishna has vowed that resolving the drinking water crisis will be accorded top priority in the coming two months. Speaking at a meeting organised by `Avagahanaā€ here on Thursday, he admitted that the present supply of about 75 Million Litres per Day (MLD) was not enough to cater to the demands of the growing population and has asked the officials to see to it that the timings of the were supply be notified earlier so that women are not put to undue hardship. Plans are on the anvil to find out a new water source by next year and lay the long pending water pipe line from Mangalagiri to Takkelapadu so that the second 10 MGD water filtration plant was put to use. Laying of this pipe line would meet the demands of water supply for the coming seven to eight years, he said."
