Safe water is the backbone of any healthy economy. However, this is a sphere that is highly under prioritized across the globe.We at Bankabio Understand the future needs and come up with Solution products to ensure access to sanitation, and wastewater treatments in the most disconnected areas of India.

1. Access to clean water - A big trench between need and
availability
• The figure shows the percentage of
people across the world who use
unsanitized drinking water.
• And it is alarming to see the
percentage of the population in so
many countries that do not have such
a small population with access to
clean drinking water.

2. Understanding the global scenario and the availability of clean
water
• The water demand is on the rise owing to population growth and urbanization. Access to
safe drinking water is the basic requirement for health. However, data shows that in the
current state of things, billions of people will lack access to clean water by the year 2030.
• To begin with, how do you define clean drinking water? Clean drinking water denotes an
improved water supply that is available when required and is free from any contamination.
• To reach the optimum level of making clean and safe drinking water available to all
universally it is important to increase the current progress at least fourfold. Only then will it
save the millions of people who succumb to death because of diseases caused by unsafe
water?
• Today over 2.2 billion people globally lack access to safely managed water services. The
problem is highly prevalent in the rural areas.

3. Access to the safe water crisis in India
• The above figures related to water issues in
India is alarming.
• Around 6% of the population which is over
91 million people do not have access to safe
water.
• Safe water is the backbone of any healthy
economy. However, this is a sphere that is
highly underprioritized across the globe.
• Also, Promote the use of a Wastewater
Treatment plant decrease the use of
drinkable water for other purposes.

4. The water problems in the Indian States
• The graph shows the population of India on the
left side with the data on water and sanitisation
cases as a percentage against the household
percentage that get access to clean drinking
water in their homes.
• Nearly half that is over 48.3% of the households
in the urban and rural areas do not have access
to clean drinking water.
• On average a family of four world need at least
40 litre of water a week if they conservatively use
just 2 litres of water each day. This is as per the
allocation per person by the government in rural
areas.

5. Groundwater sources in various states
• If the state-wise estimates are made then Madhya Pradesh has 57.5% and West Bengal has
50.1% of its population that had to use a public water source for getting clean drinking water.
• It was 23.3% in Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh was at 21.3% and Bihar had just 4.7% as
households mostly use chappakal or hand pumps installed outside their homes.
• Thus for Indian households a hand pump is the main source of drinking water in rural areas.
• The improved drinking water sources include piped water into the yard or dwelling, borehole
and tubewell, protected spring, rainwater, bottled water, or a community reverse osmosis
plant.
• However, it is not necessary that the water that is obtained from the improved sources would
not have any negative health impact on those who consume it.

6. Initiatives that are being taken to address the water needs
A few ways to manage and supply drinking water across the country could be:
● To stream groundwater depletion which is being highly exploited. It works to help the
villagers understand the availability of water and its usage pattern.
● The idea of 24/7 water is something that can be achieved by gaining a professionally run
water utility company managing the business and being accountable to citizens directly.
● It is imperative to manage the iconic rivers of India. It is required to make irrigation
predictable which needs immense investment in infrastructure to usher agriculture.
● Minor irrigation schemes, tracking floods and droughts, and implementing rainwater
harvesting systems or recharging underground aquifers could be ways to narrow this gap.

7. Conclusion
• Once the summer months set in water becomes an even more rare commodity in India.
• The country has just 4% of water resources which makes it among the most water-stressed
countries in the world. Climatic change, floods, and droughts bring in more distress.
• We at Bankabio Understand the future needs and come up with Solution products to ensure
access to sanitation, hygiene, and wastewater treatments in the most disconnected areas of
India.
