We are facing acute water crisis. Future of assured drinking water supply is a big question. Per capita water availability is decreasing regularly. To ensure drinking water availability to present & coming generations we have to ensure efficient use of every drop of available water.The only way to ensure efficient use of every drop of water is to rationing the scarce resource either with the charges or without the charges. But important task is to judiciously ration the available resource. It is a question, how we can ensure that level of efficient use of every drop of water when we are not having the system of efficient system of measurement of supply? In my opinion, this is the time to take some stringent action towards most efficient use of every drop of water. When we have to pay for every drop of petrol/diesel and there is no scarcity of POL in market, why we are facing short supply of drinking water even after having sufficient availability at present. This the time to make a system to provide drinking water through water pumps as like petrol pumps. For poor people government can provide drinking water from public tap free of cost. The same way, when we travel, most of the people which are having buying capacity purchases water bottle and other (poor segment) take it from the public tap free of cost. RESULT IS " NO SCARCITY". Therefore providing free water is not a solution but providing 24X7 drinking water is the only solution.
