India is currently facing a challenging scenario with respect to water availability and quality. Water is projected to be in limited supply across the spectrum of major users in India.
Historically India's per capita availability of freshwater has been far lower than the world average. Over the last fifty years, the per capita entitlement of freshwater to the average Indian has decreased by 60% and is currently at 1/6th of the world average.
The demand for water is projected to overtake its availability in India somewhere between 2025 and 2050. The freshwater demands of India’s burgeoning population can only be met if municipal wastewater is treated effectively.
