Aabid Surti, a resident of Mumbai is worried about the availability of water in the city, which for the past few years has received inadequate rains resulting in a water shortage. He thought that if one drop fell per second from a leaking tap, each month 1,000 litres went down the drain. Almost ten years ago he started the Drop Dead Foundation, which is a one-man show. so, each week he goes around Mumbai with a plumber and another volunteer. The purpose of this outing is to visit houses which have a leaking faucet. If the tenants agree, the plumber will fix the leak. He thinks his efforts have helped save millions of litres of water.
