Topic: Improving Access to Clean Water.

India is a national state whose official name is the Republic of India. It is located in
southern Asia and borders Sri Lanka to the south, Pakistan to the northwest, China,
Nepal and Bhutan to the north, and Myanmar and Bangladesh to the east. Its form of
political organization is the parliamentary republic.
Has an area of ​3,287,000 square kilometers (it is the seventh largest country in the
world). Its population of more than 1.4 billion inhabitants makes it the most populous
country in the world. Its capital, New Delhi, has more than 32 million inhabitants and
is currently the second most populated capital on the planet.

India have the most radical global problem of water.

India is facing the worst water crisis in it's history,in 2018 more than 600 million
inhabitants face cuts in water supply, 75% of homes don't have clean water, 84% of
the same in rural areas lade access to water stream,and in 2023 the 70% of the
water is contaminated and 200,00 people/year are from drinking contaminated water.

Between 2012 and 2017, the Government of India realized through a study that the
amount of bottled water purchased was increasing, so they realized that they should
do something but at that time nothing was done due to the scarcity of resources and
their administration. monetary.
In 2019, the Government of India launched the Jal Jeevan Mission to provide
adequate, safe and reliable drinking water to all households in rural India by 2024
through the installation of functional running water taps in rural areas. households.
Within the Indian Government's strategy there are a series of ambitious plans to
solve the situation of its water resources. The Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), its flagship
project, aims to provide drinking water supply to the rural environment by 2024.

● An effective proposal for water conservation in India could be the

implementation of rainwater harvesting systems at the community and
household levels. This involves installing storage tanks in homes and public
buildings to collect and store rainwater during the monsoon season hoping to
achieve results in 2025.

● In addition, the reuse of treated water for non-potable uses, such as crop
irrigation or street cleaning, could be encouraged, thus reducing dependence
on non-renewable water sources; this could be achieved within 2 years. It is
also important to promote more efficient agricultural practices in the use of
water, such as drip irrigation, and raise awareness among the population
about the importance of conserving this vital resource, achieving this objective
would be achieved in 1 year.

● Another proposal is to water infrastructure moderation in India would be to

invest in the modernization and expansion of existing infrastructure. This
would include upgrading outdated water distribution systems, constructing
new water treatment plants, and implementing advanced technologies for
efficient water supply and quality management. In addition, better urban and
rural planning would be needed to ensure equitable and sustainable access to
drinking water, as well as measures to reduce water losses during transport
and distribution. Collaboration between government, private sector and civil
society would also be crucial to address the challenges of water infrastructure
moderation in a comprehensive and sustainable manner, achieving this by
2026.
All these proposals can be supported by Michell Obama or any President of another
country.
