Manthan Topic:Towards Cleaner India: Providing clean drinking water and proper
sanitation facility to all

• Out of 3% fresh water available over 2.5% is frozen, locked up in Antarctica, the
Arctic and glaciers, and not available to man.
• Thus humanity must rely on this 0.5% for all of man’s and ecosystem’s fresh
water needs.
 Every year, around 92% of the precipitated water is lost due to surface runoff,
evaporation, etc..
GLOBAL SITUATION INDIAN SITUATION
• India, which is home to 16% of the world’s population, has only 2.5% of the
worlds land area and 4% of its water resources.
KEY FACTS
Out of the 1,869 TL of water reserves in the country, only an estimated 1,122
TL can be utilized due to topographic constraints and distribution issues.
India’s current water consumption is approximately
581 TL, with irrigation needs accounting for a
staggering 89%, followed by domestic use at 5% and industrial consumption
at 6%.
It is estimated that around 37.7 million Indians are affected by waterborne
diseases annually, 1.5 million children are estimated to die of diarrhea alone
and 73 million working days are lost due to waterborne disease each year. The
resulting economic burden is estimated at $600 million a year.
 Water scarcity will have spread further; India and China will continue to be the
largest countries facing water stress
Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink…….

• The water demand for the
industrial sector is on a rise and will
account for 8.5 and 10.1 %of the
total freshwater abstraction in 2025
and there is 4 % rise from the
current level of 6% of the total
freshwater abstraction by the
industries in 2010.
• Surface water is the major source
of water for the industries (41%)
followed by groundwater (35%) and
municipal water (24%). The use of
municipal water is limited to
industries located in urban/ peri-
urban areas.
Industrial Sector
• India is projected to move into the category of water stressed nation by 2020.
WATER USAGE
 Domestic sector accounts for around 5% of the total water consumption.
 Municipalities are facing problems in meeting the increasing demands of
sprawling cities.
Domestic sector
 Lack of safe confinement and disposal of human excreta poses health risks .
 1 in every 10 deaths in India in villages, due to poor sanitation and hygiene and
Girls are often forced to miss school or even drop out of education.
SANITATION
Agriculture sector
• Agriculture sector provides 26
percent of GDP and accounts for
1/6th of the total value of countries
export.
• Domestic food grain demand
increases with population.
• Demand for water intensive crops
like wheat, rice are increases
substantially.
• Increase in wastewater discharge:
Agri-based industries such as
textiles, sugar and fertilizer are
among the top producers of
wastewater.
Water, water everywhere but not a drop to drink…….

There are several acts and programmes passed by Govt. Some of the key acts:
 Inter State Water Disputes Act, 1956
 Drought Prone Area Programme (1973)
 The water (Prevention and Control of Pollution Act) 1974
Centrally Sponsored Rural Sanitation Programme 1986
 Environmental Protection Act 1986
 Setting up of National River Conservation Directorate 1995
National Water Policy 2002
E-Toilets ,called Desire provided by Kerala Govt. for sanitation.
Recent proposal Indian Rivers Inter-link
WATER ACT IMPLEMENTATION FAILURE
 Government failed to solve many interstate water disputes.
 Government Schemes have not reached to remote districts.
 Irrigation through canal and availability of water reached to very few states.
 Drought and floods are still prevalent in the country.
 Industries are still not following the norms and acts set by laws.
 Sanitation facility still not available in most of the villages.
 The rivers described as bountiful, but now it become garbage dumps and
around 600 km of Yamuna river is declared polluted to an extent that is
irreparable .The DO(Dissolved oxygen) at nizzamuddin bridge is zero.
 Illegally untreated waste is being dumped into rivers and canals defying the
WATER act. But unlike Ganga or Yamuna, rivers likes Thames ,Danube ,
Murray-darling are cleanest .
Life depends on water, the reservoir depends on you…..

• The primary objective is to “RECYCLE OF WASTE WATER” Which can be used
in other applications and to meet the discharge limits sets By Pollution
Control Boards.
• Nearly 80% of the industries surveyed have reported to have undertaken
wastewater treatment and reuse in their companies
• Using the treated wastewater for horticulture and gardening is the most
preferred choice for the industries. A large percentage of industries (24%) use
treated wastewater for industrial process like ash handling, washing of ore. e.
INDUSTRIAL WASTE WATER MANAGEMENT AGRICULTURAL WATER MANAGEMENT
• The primary objective is to preserve storage capacity through lakes, ponds
reservoir etc. during the time of monsoon season.
• Capitalization of educated human resources.
• Different types of irrigation techniques should be implemented according to
the geographical location
• According to the depth of groundwater, we can cultivate different crops which
absorbs water according to their need.
• There should be drip and sprinkler techniques for better utilization of water.
• There should be measurement of soil moisture to avoid wastage of drinking
water.
Save Water…..It’s not just a drop in the bucket

 India has a tropical climate, rain water harvesting is also a growing option for
fresh water collection.
 The water requirements of coastal cities with inadequate alternative sources
of water by the adoption of new technologies such as low temperature
desalination technologies that enable the use of ocean water.
 If local participation is extensive, capital costs can be substantially reduced
 The main objective is to Monitor integrated water resource management, and
also enable more equitable distribution of water resources across and within
states.
DRINKING WATER MANAGMENT SANITATION MANAGEMENT
 Around 2.6 billion people – 72% of whom live in Asia do not use improved
sanitation facilities.
 The focus here is on household sanitation, including the safe disposal of human
excreta, as measured by household ownership of a sanitary latrine and household
access to drainage facilities.
 These are best methods to achieve the best outcome for a particular community.
 Awareness and education
 Health education and subsidized sanitation
 Incentive-based sanitation
 Integrated/holistic approaches
 Social marketing
 Community Led Total Sanitation
 Water and Sanitation Users Groups
It’s only good until the last drop, then What?

DUAL WATER SUPPLY
 From these figure , domestic sector treated water is used for drinking and
household purpose
 From Industrial sector, waste treated water is used for sanitation purpose.
PROPOSED MODEL FOR USAGE OF DRINKING WATER HEIRARCHY FOR QUALITY OF WATER NEED
From these scenario , we find that quality is decreasing while quantity is
increasing day by day.
Think outside the sink!!!!!

SANITATION PLANING
Partnership with local NGOs
•To bank on the network already established, we have tied up with local NGOs
IEC Sessions
•Half day sessions with villagers to educate them on sanitation using professional speakers as well as advanced audio
visual material
Personal visits and phone call follow ups
•Leaders in the villages are reached to get the Parishudh initiative started in their villages.
Door to door campaigns
•To the households on the need of sanitation.
Built prototypes
•This is done by construction of a few toilets for early starters and have these stand as models of what the families
will get in future.
Collaboration with Government
•Government needs to tighten implementation of laws on hygiene and sanitation.

DRINKING WATER PLANNING
SMALL SCALE
IMPLICATION
Residential buildings to have sewage
treatment and recycling
20 % water reduction mandatory for all
industries
SEZ –Green development mandatory
Urban water and wastewater
management
Fiscal incentives provided for promoting
water efficient technology.
Water labeling concept should be
implemented
LARGE SCALE
IMPLICATION
Ground Water
recharge
Attention to over-
exploited areas
Watershed
development
Water tariffs to be
revised.
INTEGRATED WATER
RESOURCES
MANAGEMENT
Water Foot printing
: water auditing for
all types of
consumers.
Incentivize
recycling of water
including
wastewater

 Water pollution can be mitigated
upto a certain extent.
 Public health can be improved.
 Woman exploitation can be
avoided.
 Literacy rate will increase.
 Infant mortality rate and maternity
rate can be improved.
 Agricultural product will improve.
 Economic and social status of
persons will improve.
IMPACT
We classified water segment in five major verticals :
 Water collection, harvesting, desalination and treatment
 Water supply and distribution
 Sewage and sanitation services
 Other services includes using the treated wastewater for horticulture and
gardening is the most preferred choice for the
 Our major objectives is use treated wastewater for major sanitation program.
IMPLEMENTATION CHALLENGES
 National river linking itself is a
challenge and after linking also.
Diversification will create economic
demand for more reliable, on-
demand irrigation service for which
farmers will be willing to pay
substantially more than they pay
for canal irrigation today.
 The World's Most Polluted Places
(Times survey) Sukinda, India.
Number of people potentially
affected: 2,600,000. Groundwater
in Sukinda is believed to be
contaminated with chromium.
Sukinda, which contains one of the
largest open cast chromite ore
mines in the world, 60% of the
drinking water contains hexavalent
chromium.
 Deep digging of water table causes
Fluoride toxicity which is
dangerous For human health.
 In industrial area much of the
ground water contains arsenic
which is harmful for health.
Don’t be a fool, cover your pool……

 Try to do one thing each day that will result in saving water. Don't worry if the
savings are minimal every drop counts! You can make a difference.
 Remember to use only the amount you actually need.
 Form a group of water-conscious people and encourage your friends and
neighbors to be part of this group. Promote water conservation in community
newsletters and on bulletin boards.
 Encourage your friends, neighbors and co-workers to also contribute.
 Encourage your family to keep looking for new ways to conserve water in and
around your home.
 Make sure that your home is leak-free. Many homes have leaking pipes that
go unnoticed.
 Do not leave the tap running while you are brushing your teeth or soaping
your face.
 Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily.
 When washing the car, use water from a bucket and not a hosepipe.
SOCIAL AWARENESS
We can store water in a variety of ways. A simple method is to place a drum on
a raised platform directly under the rainwater collection source. You can also
collect water in a bucket during the rainy season.
Water awareness groups among social media networking sites like Twitter,
Facebook are creating new trend among the social awareness groups.
Donate fund for ongoing projects.
Its not a solution to be found, it should be a RESOLUTION everyone should take
Progress is Must But Environment is First
