Question

what ster taken by the government to conserve water

Answer 1

There is lack of infrastructure and infrastructural integrity across the country when it comes to water filtration and supply. That is the reason, clean water supply is a major problem in urban and rural India. Understanding the need of the hour, the Government of India has taken several initiatives to provide clean drinking water, promote water conservation and adequately treat sewerage wastes.

Here are the initiatives taken by the GOI for water conservation in India.

MGNREGA for Water Conservation



Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act is one of the biggest government funded employment scheme in the world. The huge workforce employed under the MGNREGA has enabled the government to introduce water conservation as a project under the Act. The government aims to improve groundwater harvesting and build water conservation and storage mechanisms through MGNREGA.
