India receives 1170mm annual rainfall but stores only 6% due to poor infrastructure. This is a national crisis.
Policy Points:
- Every household must have clean drinking water as a fundamental right.
- Water storage infrastructure improved at village and district level.
- Rainwater harvesting mandatory for all new constructions.
- Regular water quality testing in all areas.
- River cleaning must be a national priority.
- Groundwater depletion regulated by law.
