Mumbai’s water tankers move as steady, familiar fixtures through the city. Their dented bodies carry fading numbers and names, and they wait on street corners, in narrow lanes and outside buildings of every kind. They remind us how the city runs, where it falls short, and how people adjust to irregular supply.
The tankers show the politics of access and the inequitable-flow of resources across neighbourhoods. They are everywhere, yet most of us look past them, even though they reveal how the city balances scarcity and daily need.
Their bold colours and stencilled markings make them stand out against the city’s crowded streets. They are industrial objects, but they sit close to everyday life. These tankers are symbols of Mumbai’s ongoing effort to meet its own thirst, a sign of both strain and resilience in a city that learns to adapt each day.
