What are the steps taken by the Indian Government to conserve/preserve water?(at least 6 points)

Answer 1

There are a few steps taken by indian government to tackle water shortage :- 1. Government has taken steps towards commissioning desalination plants to meet the needs of people with no access to safe water. Indian government has built desalination plants that use nuclear and even solar power apart from the conventional fuels. 2. There has been a large scale promotion of rain water harvesting systems by the government. 3. The government is trying to find a solution to the longstanding conflict with Pakistan over the 1960 Indus Water Treaty. There is no other major step taken by the Indian government. With the change of regime, people are hoping something new will be done to tackle water shortage in India :)
