Q. 4, Name the major users of water in India and also suggest measures to solve
the emerging water crises in the country?
Answers
Since my arrival in India, I have had access to three different sources of water; tap, which most of the time comes from a tank in my roof and is used mostly to wash dishes and take showers; filtered, for washing vegetables and to cook with; and mineral water, consumed in bottles or from a dispenser.
There are also water tankers (used by millions of families), big trucks that deliver water in case of water shortages, and people selling water in the streets.
Access to drinking water remains one of India’s biggest challenges. This issue is reinforced each day by a growing population, rapid urbanization and the growing demand for water from agriculture, energy and industry.
Access to drinking water is recognized to be, above all, a question of public and domestic health. According to UNICEF, only a quarter of the total population in India has drinking water on their premises and nearly three-quarters of all diseases in India are caused by contaminants in the water supply.
After more than 30 years working in the water sector in France, the Czech Republic, Morocco, Gabon, South Africa and India, I am convinced that working hand-in-hand with municipalities and all stakeholders is the main challenge to implement innovative, sustainable and equitable solutions that meet city’s and industries’ expectations and needs.
