#Water #crises in India and Five facts about water our cities need to remember in 2019.

Newspaper headlines at various times during the year 2018 highlighted what may well be called the worst water crises in the country’s history till date. Cities faced various issues such as flooding, deficit rainfall, poor drinking water supply, encroached water bodies and untreated sewage, and all these were considered in the preparation of the Composite Water Management Index (CWMI) by NITI Aayog (National Institute for Transforming India) released in June.

Union Minister for water Resources has however pointed out that availability is not so much a problem as the mismanagement and lack of conservation of water. This implies that the ownership and remedy of the problem both rest in human hands.
1. Overused groundwater: 21 cities moving towards zero level

2. Contamination: 200,000 die every year due to lack of clean water

3. Mismanaged Sewerage: Two-thirds of city houses lack sewage connection

4. Climate change: Floods cost Kerala Rs 20,000 crore

5. Economic drag: GDP to plummet 6% due to water crunch

Water is precious. We have to Save Water.
