Zoo jumbos struggle to quench their thirst

“The last fortnight has seen the four elephants at Alipore zoo surviving on only a few buckets of water. This, when each needs around 40 litres of water a day, says mahut Mohammad Islam. ?The problem started nearly 20 days ago. We get drinking water from a bore-well in the zoo. Not only has the supply been erratic, the water tank has developed a crack,? explained Islam.” – The Telegraph – Calcutta
