India tops the list of countries with the most number of people living with
water scarcity.

As many as one billion people in India live in areas with physical
water scarcity, of which 600 million are in areas of high to extreme water stress.

Approximately 330 million people from 302 districts were affected by droughts in 2016.

Over 21% of the country’s diseases are
water related. In 2015, India lost over 1 lakh children under the age of five to diarrheal diseases.

As per a report by NITI Aayog, Bengaluru will soon be among one of the 11 cities in the world to run out of ground
water.

The report also states that the β€˜Day Zero’ will hit Bengaluru and 20 other major cities (including Delhi) in India by the year 2020.
