In India alone, 140 million people drink water that is contaminated with pollutants, despite measures to improve water quality. Sarvajal is a company that is trying to tackle this problem with water ATMs, created with sensory equipment and cloud technology. This invention not only provides clean water to many rural areas, but allows for the women and children who used to spend their time only retrieving water may now divert their attentions.
The still growing population of India will begin to stress the water supply beyond capacity, creating a detriment to the region as the water table will fall. The fall of the water table will not only hurt the human populations of the area, but all natural habitats as well.
Will the improvement of water in India be enough to halt over use of the area's resources?
