Groundwater and surface water in India are contaminated with metals and chemicals, and sanitation and hygiene services are almost non-existent. Half the population lacks access to toilets, and only a quarter have access to clean water. Women and children suffer most from water-borne diseases, and 1000 children under 5 die daily due to lack of access to clean water and sanitation. Proposed solutions include reducing pollution from factories, setting up water treatment plants, creating awareness programs about sanitation, and organizing clean drinking water programs for underserved populations.

1. MANTHAN TOPIC: TOWARDS CLEANER INDIA
Providing clean drinking water and proper sanitation facility to all

3.  GROUNDWATER AND SURFACE WATER ARE NOW CONTAMINATED WITH
METALS AND OTHER CHEMICAL WASTE .
 SANITATION AND HYGIENE SERVICES ARE ALMOST NIL IN INDIA.
 HALF OF THE POPULATION DOES NOT HAVE ACCESS TO TOILETS.
 ONLY A QUARTER HAVE ACCESS TO PURE WATER.
 WOMEN AND SMALL CHILDREN COVER LONG DISTANCES TO FETCH
WATER TO THEIR PREMISE.
 MANY DON’T EVEN TREAT THEIR DRINKING WATER.

5 DIE DAILY IN INDIA.

6. WHAT CAN BE DONE
 LESS NO. OF FACTORIES
NEAR WATER BODY CAN
REDUCE THE SPOILAGE OF
WATER.
 COMPOSE NEW
MULTINATIONAL TREATIES
TO SPECIFY WATER SHARING.
 INSTEAD OF DUMPING WASTE
IN WATER TRANSFORM THEM
INTO FUELAND FERTILIZER.
 SET UP PROGRAMS TO
CREATE AWARENESS ABOUT
SANITATION.
 THE BIGGEST SOLUTION
WHICH CANNOT BE
EXEMPTED IS TO SAVE
RAINWATER AS MUCH AS
ONE COULD DO.
 ORGANISE CLEAN DRINKING
WATER PROGRAMS FOR
UNDESERVED POPULATION .
 SET UP WATER TREATMENT
PLANTS FOR CHILDREN IN
RURAL AREAS.

7. THIS APPROACH CAN SAVE
MILLIONS OF LIFE ……………
 WATER WILL BE IN REACH OF EACH AND
EVERY PERSON.
 QUALITY OF WATER WILL IMPROVE.
 WATER BORNE DISEASES WILL NOT
OCCUR.
 DISPUTE AMONG PEOLPLE FOR WATER
WILL BE REDUCED .
THE AVERAGE OF PEOPLE SUFFERING
WILL BE DECREASED.
WOMEN IN RURALAREAS WILL NOT
HAVE TO COVER LONG DISTANCES TO
FETCH WATER.

8. AT LAST…………........!
WE CONCLUDE BY SAYING THAT WATER IS A NATURAL
RESOURCE AND IS A
VERY IMPORTANT PART OF OUR LIFE. IT CANNOT BE
RENEWED FROM THE NATURE
SO THE SOLUTION WE GAVE SHOULD BE HIGHLIGHTED
FOR THE BETTERMENT FOR THE PROBLEMS
WE ARE FACING TODAY BECAUSE WE THINK IT WILL NOT
ERADICATE THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY BUT WILL
SURELY
REDUCE IT TO SOME EXTENT.
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT YOU LIVE IN.
