The water sources are contaminated with both bio and chemical pollutants. 21% of the country's diseases are water-related with only 33% of the country having access to traditional sanitation.[4] Excessive use of groundwater for agriculture has also caused a strain in the resource. As India is one of the top agriculture producers in the world, the consumption of water for land and crops is also one the highest. The results of the widespread use of traditional techniques used for irrigation aligned with mismanagement are few of the reasons for the water deficit. [5]
