INDIA'S WATER CRISIS :

India's water crisis is often attributed to the urbanisation,industrialisation and human waste flowing into water sources and polluting groundwater,as well as compromises at different levels that delay various processes and task.In addition,water scarcity in India is expected to worsen as the overall population is expected to increase to 1.6 billion by year 2050.
As per the report submitted by the Committee on Restructuring the Central Water Commission (CWC) and Central Water Board (CGWB) 2016,if the current pattern of demand continues,about half of the demand for water will be unmet by 2030. Water tables,the level below which the ground is saturated with water,are falling in most parts of India.Harmful heavy metals and microrganisms render the water unfit for human consumption.

Groundwater provides 80% of India's drinking water and nearly two-thirds of irrigation needs. Over the last four decades,around 84% of the total addition to irrigation has come from groundwater.Moreover,60% of india's districts face groundwater over-exploitation and/or serious quality issues.In fact 11% of the rural water supply is based on groundwater. India's 251 cubic kilometre (cu km )annual groundwater extraction rate makes India the world's biggest consumer of groundwater,according to a 2012 United Nations Educational.

Water Quality:

  • The quality of Water available to the country is in a very poor state.It is affected by sewage discharge,surface runoff of rainwater caused due to urbanisation,overuse of pesticides and fertilizers and untreated discharge from industries.

Pristine Water Technology

EXISTING PURIFICATION METHOD & ITS SHORTCOMINGS:

All the possible technologies available today are basically solid liquid separation unit processes aimed at removal of solids either suspended or dissolved to varying degree. Dissolved solid presence up to a certain level is "DESIRED" in the water for human consumption for his wellbeing. American governments online health website www.pubmed.gov contains scientific articles which point out that human body absorbs about 6% to 30% daily requirement of various elements from TAP WATER. Hence removal of these vital elements required by human body for its wellbeing is NOT the right way. In the world,due to depletion of nutrients from soil,it is very important to intake Calcium & Magnesium from TAP WATER for the long term interest of healthy living.
World Health Organization (WHO) has pointed out that water devoid of minerals have unsatisfactory organoleptic properties and have adverse impact on animal and human beings. Optimal levels of required minerals are recommended for healthy human living.The existing purification method therefore gives us DEAD WATER
