Cradling their two-year-old daughter, banker Anjana and techie-husband Ramakrishna savour the breathtaking view of the cityscape from their 14th floor abode in a plush gated community of Hyderabad.

“The city looks really beautiful with or without lights from up here. There is no disturbance, no dust or mosquitoes,” says Anjana.
However, amid the serenity, there looms a worry that the couple shares with 300-odd fellow residents: water shortage.
