professionals in India. ▪ Over the last 30 years IPA is persistently working towards Redefining Plumbing standards in India with the active support of its 24 Chapters pan India. ▪ I SAVE WATER Mission was launched in 2019, saved 130 Crore Litres of water by distributing 15,000 Aerators FREE to Institutional buildings, Commercial buildings and Residential complexes pan India. ▪ Target of saving 500 Crore Litres in 2023 by using aerators. ▪ Reduce waste, reuse grey water, reclaim by rainwater harvesting Events and Activities Initiatives INDIAN WATER CRISIS
▪ India has 17.65 percent of the world’s population, but only 4 percent of its water resources, making it among the most water-stressed in the world. Nearly 40% of Wastewater goes untreated ▪ A large number of Indians face high to extreme water stress, according to a recent report by the government’s policy think tank, the NITI Aayog. ▪ India is also the largest extractor of groundwater, mostly for its irrigation purposes. ▪ Our surface water resources including rivers and lakes are getting polluted. Bengaluru earlier had 280 lakes in 1960, now handful of them are left. Untreated sewage and effluent goes into rivers and lakes. ▪ 70% communicable diseases, Cholera, Typhoid, Amibiosis, Diarrhea are caused due to bad quality of water. 3000 children die everyday due to infectious diseases, bigger killer than AIDS, Covid 19 or Cancer. ▪ Urgent need to act now to conserve freshwater and reuse treated water. WATER VISION @2047
▪ If treated water is re-used, fresh water is conserved, it benefits the entire eco- system, says Sh. Narendra Modi, Honourable Prime Minister of India. ▪ “Catch the Rain” a successful Rainwater Harvesting program has helped states conserve precious rainwater and use it for various uses. ▪ Still, a lot more needs to be done to raise the awareness among the masses on the following: a) Water Use Efficiency b) Water Governance c) Water Security As water gets administered through the state to all of us at a rock bottom price so we do not realize the value of it. There is a humoungous amount of cost which is borne by the govt. to make that water reach our homes. As highlighted by the govt., we need to hold water festivals in community programs so as to inform and educate the general public about this 1 major element of Panchtatva.
