  1. Access to clean water - A big trench between need and availability • The figure shows the percentage of people across the world who use unsanitized drinking water. • And it is alarming to see the percentage of the population in so many countries that do not have such a small population with access to clean drinking water.

  2. Understanding the global scenario and the availability of clean water • The water demand is on the rise owing to population growth and urbanization. Access to safe drinking water is the basic requirement for health. However, data shows that in the current state of things, billions of people will lack access to clean water by the year 2030. • To begin with, how do you define clean drinking water? Clean drinking water denotes an improved water supply that is available when required and is free from any contamination. • To reach the optimum level of making clean and safe drinking water available to all universally it is important to increase the current progress at least fourfold. Only then will it save the millions of people who succumb to death because of diseases caused by unsafe water? • Today over 2.2 billion people globally lack access to safely managed water services. The problem is highly prevalent in the rural areas.

  3. Access to the safe water crisis in India • The above figures related to water issues in India is alarming. • Around 6% of the population which is over 91 million people do not have access to safe water. • Safe water is the backbone of any healthy economy. However, this is a sphere that is highly underprioritized across the globe. • Also, Promote the use of a Wastewater Treatment plant decrease the use of drinkable water for other purposes.

  4. The water problems in the Indian States • The graph shows the population of India on the left side with the data on water and sanitisation cases as a percentage against the household percentage that get access to clean drinking water in their homes. • Nearly half that is over 48.3% of the households in the urban and rural areas do not have access to clean drinking water. • On average a family of four world need at least 40 litre of water a week if they conservatively use just 2 litres of water each day. This is as per the allocation per person by the government in rural areas.

  5. Groundwater sources in various states • If the state-wise estimates are made then Madhya Pradesh has 57.5% and West Bengal has 50.1% of its population that had to use a public water source for getting clean drinking water. • It was 23.3% in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh was at 21.3% and Bihar had just 4.7% as households mostly use chappakal or hand pumps installed outside their homes. • Thus for Indian households a hand pump is the main source of drinking water in rural areas. • The improved drinking water sources include piped water into the yard or dwelling, borehole and tubewell, protected spring, rainwater, bottled water, or a community reverse osmosis plant. • However, it is not necessary that the water that is obtained from the improved sources would not have any negative health impact on those who consume it.

  6. Initiatives that are being taken to address the water needs A few ways to manage and supply drinking water across the country could be: • To stream groundwater depletion which is being highly exploited. It works to help the villagers understand the availability of water and its usage pattern. • The idea of 24/7 water is something that can be achieved by gaining a professionally run water utility company managing the business and being accountable to citizens directly. • It is imperative to manage the iconic rivers of India. It is required to make irrigation predictable which needs immense investment in infrastructure to usher agriculture. • Minor irrigation schemes, tracking floods and droughts, and implementing rainwater harvesting systems or recharging underground aquifers could be ways to narrow this gap.

  7. Conclusion • Once the summer months set in water becomes an even more rare commodity in India. • The country has just 4% of water resources which makes it among the most water-stressed countries in the world. Climatic change, floods, and droughts bring in more distress.   • We at Bankabio Understand the future needs and come up with Solution products to ensure access to sanitation, hygiene, and wastewater treatments in the most disconnected areas of India.
