Barely 2.5% of the water on earth is fit for use.
Of this, groundwater is fast depleting and other freshwater sources are also threatened.
Usable water available in India is 1,123 bcm, while the total water consumption in 2006 was 829 bcm.
This is projected to rise to 1,093 bcm by 2020. Which means, in a few years, India will reach its limit of water consumption.
Here is a look at where the water is and how India’s consumption compares to the rest of the world
