Many people are migrating to the city of Mumbai to find jobs or educational
opportunities, but one of the big issues is housing and the water supply. This web site
discusses the issue of having enough jobs and educational opportunities, but not enough
housing and water supply. Since many people are migrating into Mumbai the population
is increasing at a rapid rate. Since their is not enough housing many people are living in
the slums of Mumbai which happens to be a very unsafe and unsanitary place. Mumbai is
growing fast but the needs of the people are moving faster.
