Water shortage happens when an area does not have enough water to meet the needs of the people who live there. A shortage happens when there is too much exploitation of water in terms of use or there is not enough supply. Now you will say that we have a lot of water, we have huge oceans, big seas, big rivers, pond, lakes etc. Yes, we have 97% of water available in oceans but that water is not fit for drinking as it is salty. Only,2.8% of water available is fresh water present in rivers, groundwater, glaciers etc. That can be used for consumption. In India, average women travel around 3 to 4 km daily to bring water to their home. It has been projected that per capita surface water availability is likely to be reduced to 1401 m 3  and 1191 m 3  by the years 2025 and 2050, respectively. The Per capita water availability in the year 2010 was 1588 m 3  against 5200 m 3  of the year 1951 in the country .  Shocked!!! Thirsty Water: Every Drop Counts
