Innovative Ways To Solve Water Crisis in Rural India
Community drinking water, electrification of roads, sanitation and hygiene, women, youth, and child welfare. All these projects undertaken by various NGOs are a cumulative effort towards uplifting the quality of life of the marginalized sections of the society.
We have always been highlighting the negative aspects and the delirious condition of rural people. However, in the last fifteen years, the government along with local development authorities have been rolling out opportunities for the villagers. These projects, training, and opportunities aim to empower millions of lives that will help them to live sustainably without compromising on their basic necessities.
Investing resources in pure drinking water & making villagers aware of mineral water project information will contribute towards the betterment of the project. Water is the primary resource that helps to sustain life on earth. Today the level of water pollution is extreme due to environmental factors and disgraceful human activities.
Low-cost Water Filtration System:
The cost of transporting freshwater across drylands can be expensive. Hence it is better to invest in low-cost filtration systems that are effective in purifying water by removing all the contaminated particles. It is a dual process where at first the large impurities get removed. And in the second stage disinfectants help in discarding harmful bacterias and viruses. This can be a very cheap method of generating safe and clean drinking water. Especially in areas where water shortage is predominant.
Water Wheel System:-
Therefore, if villagers get access to clean and pure water. The one problem they face is storing the water for a long time. This is definitely a cause for concern as, without proper means to store. There is no point in getting access to clean
. The water wheel is a fifty-liter container that can easily be rolled from the source of the freshwater to other locations. This system helps to maintain clean water and villagers can access a fast supply of water without any hindrance.
Digitization of Water Supply:
Also, It is very difficult to ration the amount of water each family is using. A family of 4 will require less water than a family of 8. But it is difficult to maintain who is overusing or wasting water. Areas that are suffering from water scarcity can definitely opt for a digital meter and a tap card. Access to water can be preset according to the number of members in the household. The tap card will account for daily limits and there will also be provided for emergency transactions.
