India's water crisis

Situation of water crisis in india in presentation

1. India’s Water Crisis

2. Contents Introduction What is water crisis Reason behind water crisis Adverse effect of water crisis What step government takes for this Household solution for water crisis conclusion

3. Introduction Water touches every aspect of life. In india uncertainty over access to and the unavalibility of this basic resource may be reaching crisis levels. As India continues to undergo dramatic shifts caused by a growing economy and demands for this limited resource coming from household, industry and agriculture.

4. What is water crisis? Situation where the unavailability of water. Or less than that region’s demand. Lack of fresh water.

5. Current days Population : 1.30 billion (2 nd in the world) (70% being rural) Population Density : 336 persons/sq. km. Largest democracy in the world Literacy rate : 64.8% Per capita income : US$ 707 25% of population is below poverty line Access to improve water source : 86% Access for improve sanitation : 33%

6. Water Usage and Demand Of the total water usage 92% - Agriculture 5% - Domestic 3% - Industrial The overall water demand is supposed to increase from 552BCM to 1050 BCM by 2025 Average urban water usage: 135lit/person/day Demand from the industrial and domestic sectors is expected to increase with the growing population, urbanization and industrialization 86% of population has access to improved water use Only 33% of population has access to improved sanitation

7. Reason behind water crisis in india Man-made Crisis Overpumping – lack of law managing the extraction of groundwater Crumbling Infrastructure – storage crunch Population Growth Pollution – Industrial Waste , Rivers as Sewage System Global Warming – chaotic weather pattern

8. Main root of india’s Water Crisis There is a three main roots of India’s Water Crisis. Insufficient Water per Person Poor Water Quality Dwindling ground water supplies

9. Insufficient water per person In 1951 the per capita water availability was about 5117 m³. This has now reduced to about 1545 m³ in 2015.

10. Poor water quality Only 209 cities have sewage treatment facilities. High level of BOD in river water. India produce 38,354 million litres sewage but our treatment capacity is only 11,786 million litres . Half of water supply in rural areas contaminated with toxic bacteria.

11. Dwindling ground water supplies In india status of ground water extraction is 62%. It supplies 85% of drinking water and 65% irrigation water. On current situation 60% of ground water sources in critical situation. And uneven rain and high use of it make situation even worst.

12. Some stats on water supply duration None of the 35 Indian cities with a population of more than one million distribute water for more than a few hours per day No city has a continuous water supply

13. This is what has happened in India Water conservation can help solve this problem

14. Some facts about india’s water crisis Cities account for a production of 29,000 million litres of waste water but there is only a management capacity for 6000 million litres . More than 300 cities with a population of and above 100,000 are completely without sewers. As of 2003, it was estimated that only 30% of India's wastewater was being treated, with the remainder flowing into rivers and groundwater. The sewer system, in the places they are present, are in seriously bad condition and need maintenance, replacement in addition to a great expansion to keep up with the pace of the growing urbanization.

15. Some more facts All the run-off from storm water is discharged as sewage. 90 millions school days are lost each year due to water related diseases. Advanced water treatment technologies are only limited to highly developed urban cities. All the major 18 rivers in India were polluted due to discharges from agricultural, domestic and industrial uses because the effluent is not pre-treated prior to discharge. Groundwater is contaminated and depleted day by day. Diarrhea alone causes more than 1600 deaths daily. 21% of the communicable diseases are water related.

16. Water India has 86% improved water sources that leaves 14% with dirty water.

17. How many baby's live and die Among 5 children 1 die because of poor water quality.

18. What steps are Government taking to address these issue? Leveling land and tapping rainwater by creating check dams in villages. India’s 12 th five year plan coverd watershed development, Aquifer mapping, developing irrigation capacity. State of Gujarat built over 1,00,000 check dams. New Delhi per capita availibility of water is increase by state government.

19. Household Solution to overcome water scarcity Every home must have rain water harvesting facility. Waste water treatment and recycling for non-drinking purposes. Several low cost technologies are available for housing areas. Stop water leaking in our homes,in public areas beacause it cause a loss of 2,26,800 liters of water per year.

20. Policy Recommendations Create Economic Incentive to Stop Pollution Invest in Water Harvesting & Storage Structures Inter-Basin Water Transfer Education

21. Conclusions India needs.. Efficient water management strategies and techniques (Conservation, Reuse and Recycle) Awareness in people regarding water management Improved water treatment technologies and access to good sanitation and drinking water Rainwater harvesting (capture and store rainfall and use if efficiently) Water and environmental related classes to be offered at the college and university level in all educational institutions.
