And we have a lot to show for all the progress made in conferences, meetings, policy tweaks on papers, verbal assurances of implementing more and more conservation measures to push away the ZERO WATER DAY! In the meantime, summer of 23 has arrived with a vengeance and even as I write this quote in Mumbai, the outside temperature is about 400 C.
