The abundant water resources in India are sufficient for the water supply in
whole of India only if proper and efficient water supply management is
adopted. The water infrastructure in India includes tapping of the available
water sources by the water board and department in India, proper water
treatment and purification, water storage facilities with regular cleaning of
the water storage tanks, usage of water, crisis in water supply, water
pollution, problems due to scarcity of water, Indian water policy for water
conservation and water harvesting etc.
Also safe drinking water supply is another area where the government needs
to emphasize more as groundwater is not an everlasting water resource. The
water quality is tested at regular intervals and only if the water quality
standards fulfill certain quality parameters, the water is certified to be safe
for drinking.
Water Conservation:
The Indian government provided the masses with adequate water supply but
the management of the water supply systems wasn't undertaken efficiently
this has resulted in deteriorating condition of the water supply network. Thus
majority is forced to pump out ground water to fulfill the water requirements
that has in turn created a huge drop in the ground water levels.
Thus an effective strategy for water conservation is the need of the hour. The
steps taken in this regard include water treatment plants, water pollution
control so as to keep the water resources safe for other usage, careful
scrutiny of water supply division and projects. The water supply department
by adopting timely conservation methods can help solve the water shortage
problem in India and deal with the ongoing water crisis in India.
Rainwater harvesting can also provide a solution to the water crisis in India.
Certain areas in India receive plenty rainfall and thus creating huge
rainwater harvesting water tanks can help is accumulation of natural water
and then after some treatment can be utilized as a drinking water substitute.
