2600 million in india are facing water availabilty time.

Reasons for severe water crisis:

1Faulty agricultural practice → 90% of groundwater exhausted for agricultural purpose

[Diagram showing: severe water crisis in india with regions marked, showing major aquifers and water-stressed areas]

2Lack of water storage → hardly 24% % available and drained stored in india (CADC)

3Water pollution → over 360 rivers are polluted in india (CPCB) → water quality index → 129 pulled out of 112

4Indian monsoon in ICO → responsible complexity, uncertainty, name → tss rainfall → within june to septem

5Lack of govt infrastructure and policy → fault of JJM - not utilized
