- In over 60 years of political independence and economic development India has not be able to ensure the most basic of human needs - safe water for all its citizens. Increase of 91,1 million persons to urban population during 2001-2011 is the highest since independence. In 21st century it will be a great challenge for India to meet demand for water in urban sector. Most urban areas have depleted, polluted or destroyed their local sources of water like rivers, lakes and tanks and even groundwater. Urban water sector is a zone of serious mismanagement.
