According to a CSE analysis, India experienced extreme weather events on 235 of the 273 days during Jan 1-Sep 30, 2023. The water emergency, however, is not just about scarcity. Rivers are polluted, traditional water harvesting systems are gone, catchments are deforested, groundwater levels are depleting and water bodies are disappearing. India has over 18% of the world's population, but only 4% of its freshwater resources. A 2018 NITI Aayog report stated that India is 'suffering from the worst water crisis in its history'.
