Why the question: A prolonged and record-breaking heatwave has led to a water crisis in Delhi, forcing authorities to crack down on water wastage and impose fines. This is not the first Indian city this year to face water scarcity; Bengaluru and Pune have already borne the brunt of it. Key Demand of the question: To write about the measures needed to overcome water stress in the country and role of treated and reused wastewater in the above. Directive word: Analyse – When asked to analyse, you must examine methodically the structure or nature of the topic by separating it into component parts and present them in a summary. Structure of the answer: Introduction: Begin by defining and giving the status of water stress in India. Cite a statistic of show the level of water stress in the country, Body: First, write about the impact of water stress on the quantitative as well as qualitative aspect of fresh water and how it will impact us. Next, write about role of treated and reused wastewater – reduces pressure on freshwater sources, improves river and aquifer quality, and brings economic and environmental benefits. Next, write about the limitations of treated and reused wastewater – nfrastructure development, public acceptance, and technical considerations etc. Conclusion: Conclude with a way forward.
