The acute water shortage has forced the city to scramble for urgent solutions and residents have to stand in line for hours to get water from government tanks.

"As the water levels depleted, hotels and restaurants started to shut down temporarily, and the air con was turned off in the city's metro. Officials in the city continue to try and find alternative sources of water - but the community continue to pray for rain," DiCaprio's wrote, sharing BBC's post. Commenting on his post, the actor further wrote, "We can change the world!" Several parts of Tamil Nadu are grappling with acute water shortage.
