According to Mr. Arun Lakhani there is an urgency
to have an influx of drinking water. Like today
in Maharashtra we see a truck load of water is
being sent for drinking purposes. Section 144
needs to be implemented to protect the water
tankers from people. This situation needs to be
introspected and we need to understand why we are
faced with these water problems.

India fortunately has an abundance of natural
resources. We have more than 100 billion cubic
meter of usable water. Maybe its distributed
unevenly across our geography, considering we are
a large country. So, we may have larger rainfall
in some countries and scarcity in other areas.
But still we are not a country which should reach
to a situation where we have to have our society
live by train load of water. We have gone wrong
somewhere and we need to rectify this situation
and particularly looking at sewage as a resource
for water and not just as waste water that we
need to treat. When we were at the time of
independence we were a 37 crore now we are 120
crore. We were pre dominantly agricultural
economy now we are industry and service industry
economy. We were pre dominantly rural but we
are now 37 urban and growing fast.

Due to this situation in our society, we are
pumping out 38,000 million liters per day of
sewage untreated into nature. 21 of diseases are
water borne. All the lakes, river (surface water)
etc are polluted. The down streams of the large
cities particularly, if you see the water
treatment plant intake parameter. They almost
resemble sewage water parameters. If we make a
rule all the towns will lift water from their
downstream and not upstream then well realize
what we are doing to nature, our society and our
country. I strongly believe we need a sustainable
urban water management. Distribution 24x7 water
supply, pressurized water systems give a way to
healthy and safe water to the citizens.

For instance in Nagpur 24x7 we are doing this
whole cycle. Source, treatment, distribution and
sewage are important. Sewage treatment even in
the towns it can be lifted from the open nallas
and not allow it to just got through and go to
the rivers, or the lakes or nature.
Till be become very robust as an economy we will
have to create a source of revenue for this
sewage treatment within the cycle of urban water
management. If we have rules that sewage treated
water will be given priority by thermal power
stations, by industry, by gardening, etc we will
be able to generate revenue out of this water.
We need to start working sewage water treatment
in our nation for a more sustainable living.
