Prerak perspectives
Only a quarter of the total population in India has drinking water on their premises.
Groundwater is getting steadily depleted due to excessive extraction. Cities are expected to face serious water crisis in the next 10 years.
A large proportion of the rural population is not aware of the need for proper sanitation, leading to misuse of Government schemes and funds. Women and girls are the most vulnerable.
There is extensive contamination of water sources, both organic and industrial.
India is ranked 124th out of 178 countries in terms of access to safe water and sanitation.
