Dear Sir,
We agree, India is not a water deficit country, but due to severe neglect and lack of monitoring of water resources development projects, several regions in the country are experiencing water stress from time to time, particularly in view of poor state of infrastructure and utilities not in position to keep pace with rapid urbanization. Pilgrimage sites are ultimate challenges in this regard.
KEY POLICY INTERVENTIONS NEEDED THROUGH INITIATIVES LIKE "MORE CROP PER DROP"
Water conservation through development of watersheds and river basins, increase in storage capacity and linking of rivers;
Effective water use through improved irrigation systems, water efficient crops and recycling of waste water;
Prevention of water pollution by banning the discharge of untreated sewage and effluent in river, judicious use of agro-chemicals and regulation on over-exploitation of ground water;
With warm regards,

We as people can move step by step
1. We learn to consume as much water as necessary and even small wastages like running taps, high discharge tap to be avoided and taps and showers with high pressure with less quantity of water to be used.
2. We harvest all the rain water by discharging as much as possible underground or storing over ground.
3. We stop discharging sewage water in the natural waterways and they will all be cleaned in one monsoon itself. To me cleaning Ganga is simply a bogey and source of making money.

Dear Sirs,
Speedy urbanization and ineffective pollution control boards have jointly created alarming situation; the reaction to mobilize vast funds for problem solving may seem to be panic driven.
- Water harvesting may have to be indeed followed up by Zero Discharge initiatives and municipal waste water recycling along with innovative and comprehensive water conservation measures as well as outreach programs for social awareness.
- This will certainly complement huge investments being attracted in water technology sector in view of mass contamination of rivers.
Warm regards,

I feel unnecessary scare is being created by the vested international interests. If we can harvest the rain water properly, there is no question of scarcity of water. The quantity of water on the earth is neither increasing nor decreasing, it is simply changing the forms. Experiments carried out in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh have proved that recharging of the subsoil with rain water can solve the problem. In my Industry, underground water level had gone to 800' and tube wells used to dry up during three months of summer. Then in 1980 we adopted the tube well recharging practice by channeling the water on our shed's roof into our tube well, slowly water level started improving, availability of water from 9 months in a year has now reached around the year. Don't create panic, create awareness about importance of water in life and as individuals and societies what are our duties to ensure our right to clean water.

India set to become water scarce country by 2025: report
At present, there are more than 1,200 companies dealing in water and wastewater treatment in the state, mainly cater to the small & medium sector. (Photo: PTI)
Mumbai: Although India is set to become water scarce country by 2025 due to demand-supply mismatch, the water sector is expected to see investment of USD 13 billion from overseas players in the next few years, a new study has said.
"India's demand for water is expected to exceed all current sources of supply and the country is set to become water scarce country by 2025.
"With increasing household income and increasing contributions from the service and industrial sectors, the water demand in the domestic and industrial sectors increasing substantially," says a study conducted by EA Water, a leading consulting firm in water sector.
Nearly 70 per cent of country's irrigation and 80 per cent of domestic water use comes from groundwater, which is rapidly getting depleted.
However, overseas players from Canada, Israel, Germany, Italy, United States, China and Belgium sees big investment opportunity worth USD 13 billion in the domestic water sector.
The industry is expected to receive Rs 18,000 crore in the next three years, the report said.
The country provides huge opportunities across the spectrum in infrastructure development for water supply and waste water management.
The industrial market is going to be the big opportunity till 2020, with growth in waste water recycling and industrial water treatment, the report said.
Maharashtra is emerging as a hub for the water sector.
Over 12 international companies have already set up design and engineering centers in Mumbai and Pune.
At present, there are more than 1,200 companies dealing in water and waste water treatment in the state, mainly cater to the small & medium sector.
Pune and Nashik are going to be large hubs for manufacturing & fabrication industry in pumps, instrumentation & monitoring equipment.
A centralized waste water treatment & recycling plants is under planning stage for Mumbai and Pune city, the report said.
With Modi government's planned investments in the water sector through the Ganga River Cleaning project, the Smart Cities initiative and the Swachh Bharat campaign, the industry is also hopeful of creating over 1 million jobs, it said.
