Although water scarcity is a global issue, solutions such as rainwater harvesting must be identified at the local level. In this, India is fortunate that it is not a water-scarce nation. Since the world’s freshwater supply is fixed, we will have to increasingly rely on technologies of water conservation and reuse, including recycled sewage water. Currently, a minuscule part of treated water is used for industrial purposes. The aversion to using recycled water is psychological. Newer technologies, including advanced irrigation systems that use less water, and precision agriculture that incorporates data to boost productivity and improve soil health should be looked into. There should also be an emphasis on water recycling and efficient water use in agriculture such as drip irrigation and desalination.
