Description
Minni lives in the poorest part of Mumbai, where access to water is limited to a few hours a day-- and the communal taps have long lines. Lately even that access is threatened by severe water shortages. One night Mini witnesses thieves who are stealing this precious commodity. In the high-rise building where she just started to work, Minni discovers that water streams out of every faucet-- there's even a rooftop swimming pool! How did something so simple as access to water get so complicated? -- adapted from back cover
