E03 Water Crisis in Indian Cities | How to mitigate the risk? | The Sunita Narain Show

- Indian cities of Bengaluru and Delhi are going through an enormous water crisis. The rising heatwaves and scorching summers are affecting our country's water security. Ensuring water security is imperative for the growth and development of a country and its people. This will require focus on increasing the supply of water, through
rainwater harvesting and ensuring that the millions of groundwater systems are recharged;
It also means rethinking the way cities draw water from longer and longer distances, which adds to loss of water and higher cost and so unaffordability. It requires stressing on the need to recycle
every drop of wastewater so that we do not destroy our rivers; this in turn means redesigning our sewage systems so that they are affordable and so sustainable.
Watch the full episode to understand the challenges caused by growing water crisis and how we can mitigate the risk.

Correct, water crisis has already started. In Faridabad a small town in NCR, neo rich have a fleet of ACs and private cars, and they get the vehicles washed with running water irrespective of surmounting crisis. We have to purchase drinking water on daily basis. It is looming and most probably, by next year, both water and power crises will cross all limits; however poor would be the sufferers, not the rich!!!
We are in a waste producing era. The more waste we produce the more we pollute our environment and results we face. A new system is required
The more waste we produce the more richer we look.
thank you Narain ji and Down To Earth team for this practical measures for the countrymen.
Report that opened my eyes. Knew something was not covered in media. Thanks DTE. .
I believe antinatalism and childfree is ultimate peace 😊. The rivers and pond we worship are in bad condition by same people.
🎉 I am doing rainwater harvesting at my level, I am trying to be off-grid in mid of urbanization. 😊
Maam , Dr.Jayalalitha had made it compulsory that all houses above 1200sqft plot in cities and towns in tamilnadu have to dig a 5 ft x 5ft x 5ft Recharge pit and all the outlet pipes of terraces in these houses should send the rain water to this recharge pit which has helped recharge tamilnadu cities ground water. All houses those days had wells and not borewells. Delhi people should start digging wells in their houses.she made people dig pits and made it a success with a clause that if recharge pit is not dug and approved by corporation office then cauvery drinking water connection in that house will be disconnected.
Excellent timely warning and guidance
Please provide transcript of the show as well as a link to other articles, reference material and books for further pursuit of the concern that is being spoken about in the episode. Especially material for layman and beginners who would like to have an overview to begin with.
Thank you Sunita Mam. Have always had high reverence for you
thank you mam for the episode..
Wow! Thank You so much for making such a dots connecting video with solution
Thank you
Full of ideas from start to end. Thanks
Excellent analysis, as always!
It's very very informative. Thanks a lot Mam!!!
One of my favorite show..👍
Thanks Mam
Insightful 👏👏💯
Excellent Presentation. Lots of economic and environmental activity can be explored out of this presentation.
An eye opener for every individual and all administrators many of us know and are facing all the issues pointed but very little or say negligible percentage is getting implemented. Important is to start practicing by individuals instead of looking at others or the government to do for us.
Well stated! There are possibilities in line with your view point of closed loops in every area. There must be a will to get into it!
Very informative.Need more videos .
A common man only try to avoid water wastage but Government can only act on discussed opportunities.
I pray that this video reaches any government authority.
*Thanks Down to Earth 🌎*
❤nice 👏 solution
Very nice maam😊
She is a warrior
🙏🙏🙏
appreciable work that done by down to earth, but my request is that you should make video in hindi also, it will be more appealing to covered more areas across to india.
We should also relook at the cultivation of water intensive crops like Rice and Sugarcane which are depleting our ground water and also intensifying climate change
Already started to face water crisis here in Kolkata. I have municipal ganga water connection. Still. We will have water from 6:30 am to 2 pm and then from 4:30 pm to 12pm and then whole night no water. I paid 65 lakhs for this flat , yet have to face such problems. This problem didn't exist last year , started this yr in 2024 itself. I pay 2 lakhs in income tax every year , yet have to face such issues. No wonder rich people leave this country. I am too planning to leave for the US or Australia in the next few years, u get taxed like developed countries but get no benefits of developed country.
Bengaluru, Delhi? In my place in Jharkhand, we are facing water shortage for last 12 years because the government sold all the water reservoirs in the nearby region to real estate dudes.
Can u do this in Hindi? The politicians in the Hindi heartland need to understand this.
And trees
Meeeeega ❤️❤️DANKESCHÖN🤝 ❤❤
100% recycling of waste water is the solution along with conserve fresh water use n rainwater harvesting
Even many people knows this but then also they don't want rain water harvesting because their home look is not looking good.
Human ignorance is in peak
Oo

Lacs of gallons of water flowing from almost every house/ offices from in the form of waste from air conditioners
Solution:-
Water flowing from AC duct may be collected by owner in tanks or drum which should be in turn collected by water supplydept or local bodies for reuses after suitable purification I. e just like door to door collection of waste by local bodies.
Maybe use for drinking or non drinking purpose
"We first cry because we have no water, then we cry because we are flooded" 😞
The problem is not in government
The problem is in people, of they need water they should arrange it,
It's your problem, don't depend on anyone
But govt should provide options
And make river water drinkable
Government machinery is not interested in solving the problem, only interested in new projects
Today whole world is causing destruction to our planet and we are naming it as our progress and development.

Lacs of Gallons of water of rain flowing on road, ultimately wasted
Solution:-
There should be a concrete rainwater harvesting policy, Govt should not give licence for construction of house or housing societies or commercial building unless there's a rainwater harvesting plan.
It will provide water to a place where there is no Water supply facilities available I. e. Pub. Health Eng Deptt(PHED), or where there is no connectivity by road, rails etc
It is only rain that water is available bin remote areas lacking infrastructure
Instead of innovating new avenue we have to strengthen exiting system
mam, please communicate in hindi . definitely it will be mass appealing and more robust voice
Its already late now. Future is going to be scary
You should not hold water
Mem whatever you are saying is perfectly fine.. but the problem of india is we have a finite land but our population has become infinite we need every thing more than what we are going to balance the development with environment.. we need housing for people we need industry,we need road, we need railway and lots of infrastructure for that we need land... That the real issue for india.. first thing we have to make sure that we balance our population but to doing so we have a threat of economic disability.. ..you know demographic dividend... So things at the end is we are going to face problems whatever we do.. because the sole problem is more population in less land ..
It's mildly hilarious, to say the least, that no one is talking about the root cause of every single problem we face on earth: human overpopulation.
Acharya Prashant is talking about it
Thanos was right
99% people blame Govt buy don't blame themselves.
Yes overpopulation is the reason for this.
I forecasted water crisis 20 years back by seeing overpopulation & decided not to have children.
Now me and my wife live happily & we can now survive even in bigger droughts as we are going to spend on water & food rather than useless children .
You are true daughter of mother india.
Now Srestha ji will copy the idea 😅
No solution, in the long term. Whosoever will be able to go abroad, will be the ones to survive. That's it. With overpopulation and a mindset that believes that blind nationalism and English language are the solution for all the Indian problems, the disaster will surely come within 20-30 years.
mam make your content in hindi please and other local languages or please give subtitles because most of people will not understand your content and will not bother to see it.
There are subtitles in Hindi
Yes thank you and we will work on this
I have seen you when you were young
Who is bell the cat.
