A look at freshwater pollution in India

Water is considered one of the primary resources human beings need for survival. But in a developing nation like India, with billions of people populating the nation, freshwater pollution is a fast-growing issue. This is the gist of our problem. We have a huge demand for drinking water but not enough supply sources to meet this demand for long.

What is the reason?

It is estimated that 70% of our surface water in the country is unfit for human consumption. This much water volume is polluted due to wastes transferred from industrial units to freshwater sources like lakes and rivers.
Chemicals, wastes, plastic, and various pollutants rapidly decrease the amount of potable water supply available to us. The usable water supply shrinks tremendously due to this problem.

What can be done?

The gap between the demand and supply of fresh drinking water in India is growing day by day. With freshwater pollution, the problem becomes doubly challenging. While it certainly isn’t insurmountable, we feel that strong steps need to be taken to overcome India’s freshwater pollution. Out of the box innovation like atmospheric water purifiers can go a long way in curbing this issue to a great extent.

Companies like Airowater are at the forefront in alleviating this issue so that no one faces problems in access to drinking water again. Their atmospheric water purifier converts moisture in the air into pure, clean drinking water. Their air-to-water technology makes potable water accessible, even in areas that face a crunch in drinking water resources.
