The city will probably experience severe water shortages in the future. Many parts of the city that are simply shantytowns have no sewage facilities. It's in a monsoon climate and often suffers from drought. India began a large irrigation project in 1947 that mostly benefited Majapradesh. The irrigation canals allow them to plant two crops instead of only one.
Water management is very important in the region because it is so drought prone.
However, the water is not being managed very efficiently. Sometimes disputes break out over water. In a global warming scenario where some areas could become drier, a region like this could suffer immensely. Global warming could make the monsoon more erratic. The government is interested in increasing yields and allowing villagers to make a living so they won't leave for the cities.
