India's water crisis is often attributed to lack of government planning, increased corporate privatization, industrial and human waste and government corruption. In addition, water scarcity in India is expected to worsen as the overall population is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by year 2050

1). Rapid increase in population has led to a greater demand for more water.

2)The use of water as coolant in industries and for washing causes scarcity and also leads to pollution of water resources. This causes water to become unfit for use.

4) Deforestation leads to less rainfall.

5) Agriculture in India mainly depends on rainfall, however it is unseasonal and irregular, which causes scarcity of water and eventually leads to crop loss.

6) Leaking pipes, taps and overflowing tanks are the major contributors to water wastage in the cities. Water gets wasted due to ignorance, wrong attitudes and general apathy- lack of responsibility.
