The city which has ONE TAP for 100,000 people: Crowded slum where people are forced to queue for hours to get water 

• A New Delhi neighbourhood provides a snapshot of the 'growing crisis' facing the Indian city, where water is becoming harder to come by
• A single tap - which the government turns on just three times a day - is shared by around 100,000 people in one area of India's capital
