water scarcity group discussion for Airforce Phase2

Water scarcity and access to drinking water are the biggest challenges for countries in the 21st century. Despite the fact that more than 71% of Earth's surface is covered by water, only 3% of total water is fit for human consumption, even lesser quantity is accessible to the human race.

Currently, the struggle for control over water resources is one of the major causes of the conflict between many countries and states. The challenges are more significant for developing and underdeveloped countries like India and Bangladesh, because of their large population and rapidly depleting water resources. According to NITI Aayog, 21 cities of India will run out of groundwater by the year 2020Water scarcity is an ongoing water crisis in India that affects nearly 600 million people each year, causing many diseases, economic hardship, as well as social upheaval.                          

There are a plethora of reasons behind the water scarcity, including unpredicted monsoon, faulty agricultural practices, rapid urbanisation and encroachment on natural reserves, depleting groundwater, uneven distribution of water resources, etc.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (6), India’s Jal Jeevan Mission and Swajal Scheme are some of the International and national initiatives, successfully moving ahead with their aim to save and reuse water and assure access to clean water to all.
