Abstract
Access to freshwater is one of the biggest crises that India faces, considering the pace at which it is developing and urbanizing. The growing population, increasing urbanization, changing lifestyles, rapid economic growth and unsustainable utilization of natural resources have brought freshwater scarcity to the forefront of issues requiring resolution as well as policy-making. It has nudged both users of water as well as the service providers of water-related solutions to rethink strategies for water sustainability and wastewater management. Therefore, the need is to bring all stakeholders to a single platform and take steps towards integrated water management.
