Is There Really A Water Crisis?Over 1 billion people lack access to safe water
2 out of 3 people will be living with water shortages by 2025
Half of the world's wetlands have been lost since 1900.
The basis for most projections for future conflicts is that with the growth of demand, the decline in freshwater availability , and the adverse health effects from poor water quality, scarcity will result in violence and water wars.
YES

The global situation
• Less than 3% of the world’s water is fresh – the rest is seawater and undrinkable.
• Of this 3% 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.

The Indian situation
PM's Independence Day Speech, 2009
Dr Manmohan Singh, said:
“Climate change is threatening our ecosystems; water scarcity is becoming a way of life and pollution is a growing threat to our health and habitat.”

Market Study
Supply & Demand
There are two dominant features in current global water consumption patterns:
The supply of fresh water is limited, but demand is growing steadily.Many countries are failing to satisfy the basic need to provide sufficient quantities of water of acceptable quality.
The development of the water market is being shaped by four mega trends: • global population growth.• infrastructure• water quality• Climate change
![Page 31: ENVIRONMENTAL WEBSITE- Water](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022070416/56815217550346895dc057e2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Case Study [ecosan* ecological sanitation ]
The concept behind ecological sanitation (ecosan) is that sanitation problems could be solved more sustainably and efficiently if the resources contained in excreta and wastewater were recovered and used rather than discharged into the water bodies and the surrounding environment.
THE SOLUTION
Applying Ecological Sanitation means both creating awareness for recycling of human disposals as well as developing an adequate toilet design for separating urine and faces to make agricultural use possible and exude the use of water.

Solution
The much-awaited seawater desalination plant, the largest in the country with a capacity of 100 MLD (million litres per day), coming up near Minjur about 35 km north of Chennai .
Under the technology, developed by the National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT), warm water is pumped into a vacuum flash chamber and the resultant vapour is condensed using cold water to get crystal clear potable water.
Desalinated water is of a better quality and the cost is only 6 paise per litre.

Solution
Water FootprintTo manage the water consumption better.
A water footprint measures the total amount of water it takes for a company to manufacture and transport a product, or for a city, country, or business to operate. Calculating water footprints can help businesses and communities better understand and prepare for the impacts of global water scarcity, according to experts. Such data allows companies to identify potential water savings and plan for future shortages

Solution
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.

Solution
Avoid flushing the toilet unnecessarily. Put a brick or any other device that occupies space to cut down on the amount of water needed for each flush.
When washing the car, use water from a bucket and not a hosepipe.
Do not throw away water that has been used for washing vegetables, rice or dals. Use it to water plants or to clean the floors, etc
You 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.

Solution
Water awareness groups among social media networking sites like Twitter, Facebook are creating new trend among the social awareness groups.
Web 2.0 concept helps to bridge gap between the people – more interactive
By doing this water project, I have learned more about saving a drop of water rather using wordpress
Its not a solution to be found, it should be a RESOLUTION everyone should take.
