With the planet's second largest population at 1.3 billion and expectant growth to 1.7 billion by 2050, India cannot serve the vast majority of its populace with safe, clean water. It will have only half the water it needs by 2030, based on our current water usage patterns. Some core challenges in the access, control, and use of water are structural inequalities, violence, socio-economic vulnerability, intersectional subjectivity, climate impacts, and affordable technology. In this context, the speaker delves into the basis of addressing this issue and approaches to prioritise it.
