According to a study by the Water Resources Group, India will have a 50% gap in demand and supply of water (754 billion m3) by 2030. 80% of this demand is projected to be for agriculture considering the fact that India has poor agricultural water productivity, produces water intensive crops, has an ageing and inadequate water supply infrastructure and increasing domestic food requirements. India will see rapid increase in municipal and domestic water demand also (108 billion m3 ) by 2030. India has poor water storage capacity (200 m3 per person) compared to China’s 2200 m3 per person and 6000 m3 per person in the US. India’s three major river basins (Ganga, Indus and Cauvery) are projected to face shortages.
