IMMINENT WATER
RELATED CRISES IN
INDIA
JALSEVAK SOLUTIONS
India, the 2nd most populous country
in the world, faces 3 serious
challenges related to water:
• Insufficient supply of fresh water
• Inadequate sanitation
• Water pollution
Fresh water
5000 years ago India had one of the
best water supply systems in the
World
Dholavira water reservoir in Gujrat
Today’s scenario…
Fresh water
Fresh water
India has 16% of the global
population, but just 4% of the
world's fresh water
Rains or not, India is falling short
on drinkable water (Source: The New
York Times)
Fresh water
By 2030, India’s fresh water
demand will become double the
capacity
(Source: McKinsey report)
Fresh water
Groundwater levels in major
Indian cities declining at rapid
pace
Fresh water
21% of communicable diseases in
India are related to unsafe water
(Source: World Bank)
Fresh water
Lack of clean drinking water is
hurting India’s manufacturing
sector, resulting in employment
declines
Fresh water
Two sustainable ways forward:
Water conservation
Fresh water
and water recycling
Fresh water
Sanitation refers to the provision of
facilities and services for the safe
disposal of human urine and faeces.
Source: World Health
Organization
Sanitation
Sanitation also refers to the
maintenance of hygienic conditions,
through services such as garbage
collection and wastewater disposal.
Source: World Health
Organization
Sanitation
“Sanitation is more important than
political independence”
— Mahatma
Gandhi
Sanitation
Yet…
Sanitation
More than 50% of India’s
population still doesn’t have
access to proper sanitation
Sanitation
India currently has the highest
number (62 million) of children
who suffer from stunting due to
poor sanitation
(Source: UNICEF)
Sanitation
National Indian average of
sanitation, hygiene and water
safety is only 34 % (58% urban
and 23% poor)
Sanitation
Over 75 % of Scheduled Caste
and Scheduled Tribe households
do not have access to safe
sanitation
(Source: UN MDG report)
Sanitation
Government of India has
constructed over 2 Crore new
toilets under the Swachha Bharat
Mission
(Source: Swachha Bharat Mission)
Sanitation
But the biggest challenge is
availability of water for
toilet/urinal flushing
Sanitation
Freedom from open defecation
will not be achieved without
sufficient water supply for toilet
cleaning
Sanitation
Wastewater treatment has long
been a neglected area in urban
water planning
Water pollution
The consequence…
Water pollution
India generates 22,900 million
litres per day (MLD) of domestic
wastewater
Water pollution
Currently, India’s sewage
treatment capacity is only 30% of
the generation
(Source: Central Pollution Control Board)
Water pollution
Remaining 70 per cent sewage
remains untreated and directly
flow into our water bodies
Water pollution
Maharashtra sends 2,383 MLD of
untreated sewage directly into
the Arabian Sea.
Water pollution
Installation and operating costs
of existing technologies are
rather high and hence are ill-
afforded by the communities
Water pollution
Decentralized sewage treatment
facilities are effective and low-
cost
Water pollution
Conserving
Fresh water
Improving
Sanitation
Reducing
Water pollution
One solution for solving all 3 problems
Wastewater
recycling and
reuse
