India faces water crisis: scarcity, pollution, and inadequate management threaten livelihoods.
Water management in India is facing challenges due to a growing population and limited water resources. The country has only 4% of the world's fresh water but 16% of the global population. This imbalance has led to water scarcity and poor water quality, affecting agriculture, industry, and access to safe drinking water. The key issues include deteriorating water quality, lack of conservation efforts, insufficient irrigation water, and the need for safe drinking water. The Ministry of Water Resource is working on regulating inter-State rivers and improving water quality. Sustainable water management is crucial for India's development and the well-being of its people.
