As the country tackles the fury of unseasonal rain that led to severe damage to life and property in states such as Uttarakhand and Kerala, we look at India's impending water crisis. With depleting groundwater level and rainfall restricted to 20-30 days in a year, how can India work towards achieving water security for its citizens? We look at 6 broad themes as part of the water agenda that may hold the key to water conservation. These 6 themes include- rainwater harvesting, conservation of water in agriculture, industry and in domestic spaces, treatment of polluted water, use of technology to solve water woes and piped water for all. Could these 6 crucial areas hold the key to averting a water crisis in the country? Watch this episode of News Guru with Vikram Chandra to find out more.&nbsp;

Speaking on the need to use technology to conserve water in agriculture, UNDP's Dilip Singh stressed on the need to to educate the community to use technological solutions for water woes. Some of these methods include, AI and IoT based irrigation, community water budgeting and agromet advisories where frmers can plan irrigation based on updates from automatic weather stations. Such initiatives, he said can be started as a small project that can then be used as pilot for larger interventions.&nbsp;

&nbsp;Jal Jeevan Mission Director, Bharat Lal points to the need for 'water use efficiency' in both agriculture and urban spaces.&nbsp;With agriculture using the lion's share of freshwater in the country, are there ways that the community can reduce water wastage? Practicing micro-irrigation is one such step which is incentivised by the government and which reduces water wastage by about 70%. Bharat Lal gives the example of Gujarat where implementation of 'micro irrigation' led to increase in farmer's productivity, income and water table, and a decline in water usage.

An Intro to Paani Project: Connecting the Drops

In collaboration with UNDP and&nbsp;TERI,&nbsp;Editorji&nbsp;launches a campaign&nbsp;to focus on one the biggest crises that India is facing - water

600 million people, or nearly half of India&rsquo;s population, faces extreme water stress.&nbsp;21 major cities, including Delhi, would run out of groundwater by 2030, according to Niti Aayog estimates. India has 16% of the world's population, but only 4% of the world's freshwater resources. India will have only half the water it needs by 2030.&nbsp;India's water crisis is real and severe.Day Zero for a catastrophe is not a century but less than a decade away.&nbsp;We need to act, NOW. The crisis is clear and is staring us in our face, it's time to talk solutions and walk the water talk.Editorji in association with Teri and UNDP is embarking on a mission to pinpoint the water problem and talk solutions.&nbsp; The Big Question: What can be done to address India's water crisis. We will get experts and policy makers to dwell on some of the solutions. Rainwater harvesting&nbsp; Linking of rivers &amp; ancient water bodies&nbsp; Sewage treatment&nbsp; How can we clean the rivers?&nbsp; Domestic conservation of water&nbsp; Piped water in every home&nbsp; Groundwater recharge&nbsp;This is not just another campaign. It's a quest for workable solutions.We will also bring to you ground reports that will identify specific problems, but will also showcase efforts by the govt, communities, NGOs, industry and individuals that have made some real difference.&nbsp;Efforts are on at several levels. For example, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced the Jal Jeevan Mission at the start of his second term. Launched in August 2019, the ambitious scheme aims to provide potable water through taps to the 191 million rural households by 2024, from the existing one out of six households that have tap water. Despite the odds, over 30 million new households have been provided with tap water during this period, equal to the number of households provided with taps since Independence.&nbsp;We will list all such efforts, the change they are bringing. We will present best ways to synchronise these efforts for optimal results.&nbsp;Paani Project will act as a bridge between the people and policy makers to help tide the water crisis.Join us on this special and urgent journey: Paani Project - Let's connect the drops.

Prime Minister Narendra&nbsp;Modi's Jal&nbsp;Jeevan&nbsp;Mission seems to be working, but silently.
Padma&nbsp;Shri&nbsp;awardee and India's 59th richest&nbsp;Sridhar&nbsp;Vembu, who is also the CEO&nbsp;of software company Zoho,&nbsp;took to Twitter as he writes&nbsp;about his village getting government-provided piped water supply.
"Government-provided piped water supply has arrived in my native village in Thanjavur district. Every household in the village now has a water connection. Our democratic system is slow but eventually, it gets things done," he tweeted.
The Indian government's Rs 3.6 lakh crore program has a target to put piped water in all of the country's 192 million rural homes by 2024. It could be a difficult job as&nbsp;currently only 70 million Indian households have piped water, which is about 36% of the target.

Speaking at the Curtain Raiser event of the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) 2022, an annual flagship event organised by TERI, Bharat Lal, Director for the govt's Jal Jeevan Mission said, the water crisis in the country has to be seen from the equity and inclusiveness point of view as well. Adding that the govt's massive is that "no one should be left out", he said, is crucial that we work towards multi-faceted sustainable solutions. Solutions have to be worked out in four key areas, which include, improving water storage capacity, water use efficiency to avoid wastage, treatment of waste water, so that it is not a carrier for diseases, and finally, sensitization of people, which has to be a collaborative effort between govt and people.

Without over Rs 50,000 cr earmarked to the Jal&nbsp;Mission, there is big business opportunity for India Inc to tap into as the Govt pushes ahead it's pet water campaign.&nbsp;&nbsp;The scope of work under the mission includes creation of in-village supply infrastructure for tap water connection, reliable drinking water source development, retrofitting of complete and ongoing piped water supply schemes.&nbsp;Budgetary allocation for FY&rsquo;22 for the water mission is&nbsp;at Rs 50,000 cr this i a big jump from the Rs 11,500 cr in FY&rsquo;21. The govt has already released Rs 6000 cr to 15 states, this is however just the first of four tranches. The states will also match this contribution to push ahead the aim to get tap water to all homes across the nation.&nbsp;In just over a year 40.8mn rural households provided with new tap water connections. This is opening a big business opportunity for businesses, especially in the pipe business. The leader in the pack Supreme Industry has seen the stock soaring over 180% from it's pandemic low as the Jal&nbsp;Mission with the motto "Har Ghar Nal Se Jal by 2024" is&nbsp;improving earnings outlook significantly.

Speaking at the Curtain Raiser event of the World Sustainable Development Summit (WSDS) 2022, an annual flagship event organised by TERI, Union Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar said, in India, the agriculture sector consumed about 85% water, and hence the maximum saving must happen here, by implementing newer technologies, and a shift towards agro-forestry methods. He added the govt is incentivising forestry practices where water is being conserved.
He also stressed on the judicious use of water in our homes, adding that 50-60% of water can be saved, by judicious use of tapped water. He also added that water in housing societies or building complexes can be conserved by using rooftop water harvesting methods.

India is facing one of its most serious water crises. According to the NITI Aayog's Composite Water Management Index (CWMI) 2018, 21 Indian cities could face Day Zero in the coming years.
Day Zero refers to the day when a place is likely to have no drinking water of its own. Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad are among the most susceptible.&nbsp;The report also said that 75% of Indian households do not have drinking water on premise and about 84 per cent rural households do not have piped water access.&nbsp;Water is not properly distributed where it is supplied through pipes. Mega cities like Delhi and Mumbai get more than the standard municipal water norm of 150 litres per capita per day (LPCD) while others get 40-50 LPCD.&nbsp;The World Health Organization prescribes 25 litres of water for one person per day to meet all basic hygiene and food needs. Extra available water, according to WHO estimates, is used for non-potable purposes like mopping and cleaning.

India is facing one of its most serious water crises. According to the NITI Aayog's Composite Water Management Index (CWMI) 2018, 21 Indian cities could face Day Zero in the coming years.
Day Zero refers to the day when a place is likely to have no drinking water of its own. Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi and Hyderabad are among the most susceptible. &nbsp; The report also said that 75% of Indian households do not have drinking water on premise and about 84 per cent rural households do not have piped water access. &nbsp; Water is not properly distributed where it is supplied through pipes. Mega cities like Delhi and Mumbai get more than the standard municipal water norm of 150 litres per capita per day (LPCD) while others get 40-50 LPCD. &nbsp; The World Health Organization prescribes 25 litres of water for one person per day to meet all basic hygiene and food needs. Extra available water, according to WHO estimates, is used for non-potable purposes like mopping and cleaning.
