India's Water Challenges and Urban Solutions for Sustainable Access by 2030
India faces significant water challenges, including widespread contamination, uneven groundwater availability, and inefficient urban water systems. About 70% of water is contaminated, with over-extraction and pollution affecting quality. Urban utilities lose substantial water before delivery and treat only a fraction of sewage, limiting reuse. Addressing these issues within a political term involves improving water sourcing, reducing dependence on distant supplies, enhancing efficiency, equitable distribution, and sustainable financing to support India's growth and health goals by 2030.
