The water scarcity is primarily driven by two converging phenomena: increasing demands for freshwater use and decreasing supply of clean water due to steady depletion of usable freshwater resources. There is a physical angle to water scarcity and an economic angle as well.
The 2018 edition of the UN World Water Development report stated that nearly 6 billion peoples will suffer from clean water scarcity by 2050. This is the result of increasing demand for water, reduction of water resources, and increasing pollution of water, driven by dramatic population and economic growth.
The water crisis is a global phenomenon and India is no exception. Our water scarcity can be assessed by the fact that we house around 17 % of the world population but possess only 4% of the world’s fresh-water resources. Further, whatever fresh-water is available in India, we are not able to access the same fully.
