Recently, Texas in United States witnessed a severe snow storm that left hundreds of people without water for over two weeks. The storm led to the bursting of countless water pipes along the way due to the temperature drop.
A similarly acute challenge of water scarcity is an everyday occurrence for people living in Ladakh where the temperature reaches below minus 30°C in winters.
