A solar minimum would offset no more than a decade’s worth of human-caused global warming The global mean temperature difference is shown for the time period 1900 to 2100 for the IPCC A2 emissions scenario. The red line shows predicted temperature change for the current level of solar activity, the blue line shows predicted temperature change for solar activity at the much lower level of the Maunder Minimum, and the black line shows observed temperatures through 2010.

Officials are trying to find alternative sources of water, with the city's water department starting to identify and extract water from quarries. But the big concern is the dry reservoirs and low groundwater levels. BBC News: Chennai water crisis: City's reservoirs run dry == Do forget to visit Wattsupwiththat.com.
