Background

Despite the importance accorded to access to clean drinking water as a basic human right, acquiring access to clean water has become prohibitively expensive for non-profit and public sector community centers operating in India. Such centers play very important roles in society by carrying out important services with a budget that is usually not adequate. However, they are often compelled to spend money on buying water tankers in order to enable them to carry out their day-to-day activities. The inability to do this creates a major barrier because it robs them of important resources needed to enable them pursue their objectives.

These problems arise from two main problems. Firstly, most of these centers lack the necessary financial resources required to invest in infrastructure. Secondly, there is a need to create a system that helps to conserve water. While corporate giants have enough finances to use modern technologies, these community centers lack a plan on how to conserve water. Thus, it is the very entities that have been created to serve the most downtrodden members of India’s society that are left most vulnerable to the instability of water shortages. It has become crucial to address this issue by finding water-saving measures that are both cost-effective and easy to implement among the most essential segments of society.
