On India!
India's population surge that will increase the workforce to 800m by 2016 and make India the world's most populous nation. India has 18 per cent of the world's population but
only 4 per cent of its fresh water and just over 2 per cent of its land
area. Many of the country's groundwater aquifers are already in
critical condition. Available per capita water supply has declined
since 1975 and water demand is set to exceed all usable sources of
supply by 2050.
