Give some possible solutions to water problem in India.

Explanation

In order to solve water problem in India constructive holistic approach should be adopted and implemented.
There is a wide scope to use rainwater harvesting technique to conserve precious water resource. It can be done by harvesting rainwater on rooftops and open spaces. Harvesting rainwater also decreases the community dependence on groundwater for domestic use.
Besides bridging the demand supply gap, it can also save energy to pump groundwater as recharge leads to rise in groundwater table. Urban areas can specially benefit from rainwater harvesting as water demand has already outstripped supply in most of the cities and towns.
Desalinisation of water particularly in coastal areas and brackish water in arid and semi-arid areas.
Transfer of water from water surplus areas to water deficit areas through inter linking of rivers can be important remedies for solving water problem in India.
Pricing of water for households and communities should be considered more seriously.
