Global water crisis is a serious issue affecting many regions of the world. Over 1/3 of the global population lacks access to clean drinking water. Lack of access to sanitation is linked to poverty and disproportionately impacts developing countries. Rapid population growth and development are straining water resources in many places through overuse, pollution, and depletion of sources. Improving access to clean water and sanitation worldwide is critical for public health, but achieving universal access remains a challenge.
There are several ways to save water, such as taking shorter showers and not leaving the tap running unnecessarily. Water can also be reused, like collecting rainwater in tanks. Some countries waste more water than others due to large swimming pools, gardening needs, and long baths. People in countries without reliable access to water survive by drinking whatever water is available, even if contaminated, and walking long distances like children in Africa who spend hours each day getting water for their families.
The presentation discusses India's water crisis, where availability of water is less than the demand and people lack access to fresh drinking water and sanitation. Water resources are becoming scarce due to chemical pollution and environmental degradation. It emphasizes saving water by being careful in domestic use and establishing rules for industries, as only 1% of water on Earth is available and a crisis will worsen without conservation efforts. The presentation was given by A.J. Sonone, a student at Symbiosis Institute of Geoinformatics.
