Although 90% of urban households in India have access to safe drinking water, households in 22 out of the 32 big cities in India face frequent water shortages. Generally, older (often wealthier) parts of the city have shallow water tables as groundwater is not used and piped water use is high, whereas newly added areas get very little piped water and rely significantly on groundwater.
Ironically, because water supply pipelines tend to leak and recharge groundwater, the core areas of most cities also have plentiful groundwater supply. This creates severe inequities in water availability between the core and peripheries of the cities.
