Water in India

Water is the most important thing in this life, and the humans cannot live without it. As the world goes forward, the pollution increases on the earth, especially in the poor areas. For my blog, I choose India to write about it. I will write a problem-solution report about the water situation in India.

The main problem that India faces is the pollution. There is not enough fresh water for drinking in India, and the water in India is controlled by companies like Vivendi and Suez. So those companies require the people to pay for bottled water. Also diseases spread in India by water. According to the water partners International on their web side, there is approximately 21% of people die from water pollution as the World Bank as estimated, and that means more than 1600 people die daily from bad drinking water.

Although the problem is huge, there are some solutions that the people have to do to stay alive. According to the film “Flow”, some companies like Suez control the fresh water in India, so the people have to stop paying them because “the water is for anyone and it not for companies to control” as many people said in the film. Another solution is to filter and purify the water with UV light before using. It’s an inexpensive technology for clean water. And the Indians use this technology for a little money, so everyone can pay a little and have clean water daily.

Overall, the Indian people have to fight for their water. And they should not pay those companies, also the government should support the people. In my opinion, the new technology that they use to filter and purify the water is very successful and they have to publish it in all the parts of India.
