Hello,
It's About Water.
More specifically, freshwater.
Though 70% of the earth is covered in water, only 2% of it is fresh. Further complicating the issue is that 1.6% of that freshwater is contained in glaciers and polar ice caps.
Many third world and developing countries struggle with ensuring this basic tenant of our existence is both available and safe. Nowhere is this more apparent than India.
A Major Lack of Resources
With the planets second largest population at 1.3 billion, and expectant growth to 1.7 billion by 2050, India finds itself unable to serve the vast majority of that populace with safe, clean water.
..
Hope it helps.
Thankyou!

Less than 1% of the water supply on earth can be used as drinking water.
About 6,800 gallons (25,700 liters) of water is required to grow a day's food for a family of four.
An acre of corn will give off 4,000 gallons (15,000 liters) of water per day in evaporation.
