Assessment Of Water Resources And Status Of Quality Of Water In India

We need water to sustain life and thrive. Water flourishes the cities and civilizations across the world. Without safe and adequate supplies our communities simply cannot bloom. Less than 1 of all the water available on the earth are fresh that we can actually utilize. We use water for purposes like drinking cleaning transportation industrial activities agricultural practices and in various other tasks. A Country like India which has a shape of the peninsula and it is surrounded by an abundance of water has 1121 BCM Average Estimated Utilizable Water. Though estimates vary each person uses about 80-100 gallons of water per day. The Government at various levels is trying to provide safe drinking water to maximum households. Though safe drinking water is not completely safe and there are a number of households which even do not have access to safe drinking water and that is why people have to fetch water from untreated sites and this lead to water borne diseases. In India every year million of cases registered due to water borne diseases and over thousands of deaths occurred. So water must be accessible and carefully treated in order to make it safe for drinking and other uses. It is the responsibility of all the citizens to be aware of the importance of clean water and help to preserve it.
