<p>In India, the monsoon lasts for 4 months between June and September. Since last week or so the rain is gone, and this monsoon hasn't been decent, the rainfall had been it's lowest since the 1970's and we are already facing a water-scarcity. The temperature has already reached 38 <sup>o</sup>C. </p> <p>I have seen birds hovering over waters sources in the cities, starting from winter. Outside the town, birds get water through streams and other water bodies. In India, at the beginning of summer, starting from February people keep water in dishes and bowls for birds in the city.</p> <p>While this weather change is not encouraging at all, I am so sure that I'll see thirsty birds hovering over water sources in cities sooner than usual. </p> <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xk8DW.jpg" rel="noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/xk8DW.jpg" alt="enter image description here"></a></p> <p>What are the best possible ways to provide water to birds by means of keeping in a dish/bowl so that many of them can make most out of it? I plan to do that in my balcony and terrace. </p>
