About Electrolyte:

• Electrolytes are minerals that give off an electrical charge when they dissolve in fluids like blood and urine.

• The most familiar electrolytes are acids, bases, and salts, which ionize when dissolved in such solvents as water or alcohol. 

• Many salts, such as sodium chloride, behave as electrolytes when melted in the absence of any solvent; and some, such as silver iodide, are electrolytes even in the solid state.

• Your body makes electrolytes. You also get these minerals from foods, drinks, and supplements.

• Electrolytes in blood, tissue, urine and other body fluids play a critical role in balancing body fluids, regulating your heart rhythm, and supporting nerve and muscle function.

• An electrolyte imbalance occurs when you have too much or not enough of certain minerals in your body. This imbalance may be a sign of a problem like kidney disease.

• An electrolyte panel is a blood test that measures electrolyte levels.

Union Minister for Housing and Urban Affairs said that the government has introduced the Jal Hi AMRIT scheme in its first 100 days.
• It was launched under the AMRUT 2.0 scheme.

• Under this initiative, it is envisaged to incentivise State & UTs to manage the used water (sewage) treatment plants (UWTPs/ STPs) efficiently for ensuring recyclable good quality treated water, meeting environmental standards, on a sustained basis.

• The purpose of the exercise is to build the competition among the cities, develop capacities and incentivise them to attain the best quality of used treated water at the treatment facilities.

• The main focus is thus on capacity building & incentivizing qualitative improvements in the treated discharge effluent.

• A mid-course assessment and water quality testing will be conducted, culminating in a final assessment & award of Clean Water Credits in terms of Star-rating (between 3 stars to 5 stars) certificate valid for six months.

Key facts about AMRUT 2.0 scheme
• It was launched for a period of five years, from the financial year 2021-22 to the financial year 2025-26.

• It is designed to provide universal coverage of water supply through functional taps to all households in all the statutory towns in the country and coverage of sewerage/septage management in 500 cities covered in the first phase of the AMRUT scheme.

• AMRUT 2.0 will promote a circular economy of water through the development of City Water Balance Plan (CWBP) for each city focusing on recycle/reuse of treated sewage, the rejuvenation of water bodies, and water conservation.
