India has been experiencing a severe water crisis for 20 years as urban and industrial growth has decreased per capita water availability to 1,400 cubic metres annually. This shortage is projected to worsen, with some predictions estimating India's water supply will fall 100% short of demand by 2030. While government programs have aimed to increase supply, conserve water, and restore resources, they have overlooked effectiveness. The time has passed to further delay action on India's worsening water crisis.

1. INDIA’S WATER
CONUNDRUM
BEYOND THE
TIPPING POINT?

2. For the past 20 years, India has been
experiencing a severe water crisis. As urban
and industrial growth picks up speed, per capita
availability has decreased to around 1,400 cubic
metres annually and will continue to do so.
The issues are well-known for enabling India,
but they exist in separate administrative and
thematic contexts.
Will India’s problems with water get worse?
Most research appears to support this.
According to some predictions, India’s water
supply will fall short of demand by almost 100%
by the year 2030. There are many programmes
supported by the federal, state, and local
governments that aim to increase water supply,
encourage water conservation, recharge
groundwater, restore water bodies, or invest
in rainwater harvesting. They all overlook one
crucial aspect: effectiveness.
The time to hit snooze on this crisis has gone.
