An Overview of Technology intervention for water purification- an Indian Context

Abstract

In the last decade increasing population and pollution rate have revealed the lapsing picture of drinking water resources in India. Indian Government proactively stepped in to support water technology research by Public and Private sectors and made significant contribution to provide S & T Interventions for water contamination removal and few of them are commercially available. Since for the policy makers it is the efficiency (effectiveness, cost, accessibility, maintenance) of the solutions, rather than their origin, is critical, an in-depth study of water purification technologies options is necessary. This research paper draws insight about the recent water contamination scenario in different States of India and Science and Technology interventions in India at National and International level has been identified.
