The Harsh Reality
AVAILABILITY
India has just 4% of the world's fresh water but 17% of the global human population making it a severely water stressed country.
concerns
76 million are without access to safe drinking water.
256 of 700 districts have over exploited ground water levels.
Facts
As per World Bank report, India has 195 million hectare land under cultivation of which only 37% is irrigated while remaining is rain-fed. Women spend 150 million work days every year just for fetching and carrying potable water.
Bleak future
By 2025, India will become a water scarce country.
A UN report states that the demand for water will reach twice the available supply by 2030.
