Water Wise: Vishwanath’s Call to Stem the Tide of Wastage and Save Every Drop

Water conservationist Vishwanath has sounded the alarm on India’s water crisis, emphasizing that reducing wastage is the most urgent step to safeguard the nation’s dwindling water resources. Speaking at a recent environmental summit, he called for immediate action from citizens, industries, and policymakers alike.

 

Key Highlights

 

• Vishwanath highlighted that nearly 40% of urban water supply in India is lost due to leaks, inefficient usage, and outdated infrastructure.

• He urged households to adopt simple measures such as fixing leaks, using water-efficient fixtures, and harvesting rainwater to make a collective impact.

• Industries were called upon to upgrade to water-saving technologies and recycle wastewater, while urban planners were encouraged to design cities with sustainable water management in mind.

• Vishwanath also stressed the importance of public awareness campaigns to change mindsets and promote a culture of water stewardship.

 

Outlook

 

With climate change intensifying water scarcity, experts warn that conservation is no longer optional—it’s essential. By reducing wastage at every level, India can secure its water future and set a global example in sustainable living.
