The Mumbai Cricket Association (MCA) swung into action to conserve water amidst the crisis and initiated work on setting up a borewell at their three grounds — Wankhede Stadium, BKC and Kandivli.

"We are in the process of testing the borewell option and once we get a clearer picture, we will put it before the Managing Committee. The aim is to have our own water resources," MCA’s Jt Honorary Secretary Dr Unmesh Khanvilkar told mid-day.
