Chennai, India's sixth largest city, has seen no rain for over six months. Its four major reservoirs have virtually run dry, and the city's population of four million is mostly relying on government tankers to provide water, or paying private companies to supply water. The two images were acquired by ASTER on October 6, 2015, and Landsat OLI on June 3, 2019. They cover an area of 29.9 by 45.7 kilometers, and are centered at 13.1 degrees north, 80.3 degrees east. https://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA23300
