India has more than 1.3 billion people yet there are only 4% of the freshwater resources all over the globe. Over 1 million individuals are affected annually by the chronic water issues. Water scarcity in India has a significant impact on both the vast rural and urban population, as well as the ecosystem and agriculture.

Therefore, only widespread and responsible efforts of citizens and industries, can guarantee water conservation and preservation in India.

What are the reasons behind India’s water crises?

Lack of government planning, greater business privatisation, industrial and human waste, and corruption are frequently blamed for India's water crisis. In addition, it is anticipated that India's water shortage would intensify, as the country's population reaches 1.6 billion people by the year 2050.

It is also predicted that in the future, national political conflict would increasingly be brought on by water scarcity, and India's future is projected to be no different. Despite the fact that drinking water quality has improved, many other water sources are polluted with bio and chemical pollutants. Thus, India urgently needs solutions.

How can citizens and industries help in preserving water resources in India?

As we are already aware that water now will never be in abundant supply, thus, cleaning up contaminated water is essential. Therefore, our government can inform the public and impose water use restrictions, but ultimately, it is up to individuals to utilize water responsibly.

Water conservation preventive actions that apply to the home, business, community, and government's role are required.

1: As soon as a leaky faucet is discovered in a home, fix it.

2: Turn off the faucet when shaving or brushing your teeth, and use water-saving toilets and showerheads.

3: Aerators should be added to hand-washing faucets in offices. Aerators combine air and water to produce a spray, while using less water than standard faucets.

4: The best approach for your neighbourhood to reduce water use is through increased awareness. Teach others in your neighbourhood how to conserve water, and disseminate this knowledge to as many people and other communities as you can.

5: For the communities, government should establish water quality standards, issue water usage permits, and guarantee dependable supplies.

6: Separate your domestic trash from your moist compost material.

7: Install wastewater treatment facilities at your residence, place of employment, or neighbourhood to adopt wastewater treatment techniques.

8: The quickest way to boost water supply in places with less water resources is to harvest rainwater.

9: Encourage employees to use commercial car washes that reuse water to wash company vehicles.

10: Greywater from the sink can be recycled using straightforward methods for flushing or watering the garden.

11: Plants and trees should be enclosed by a covering layer. By covering, you can reduce moisture loss while preventing weed development and soil moisture retention.

12: Avoid letting the faucet run while cleaning vegetables.

13: Parents should teach their children about easy ways to conserve water around the house.

14: Homeowners can also participate actively in local organisations working to clean up and save lakes.

15: It is important to educate workers and co-workers on the effects of water conservation measures, and issues related to water scarcity.
