India has just 4% of the world's fresh water, but 16% of the global population.
Half of India's water supply in rural areas is routinely contaminated with toxic bacteria.
Every year, about 600,000 Indian children die of illnesses associated with unclean drinking water.
Lack of clean water is hurting India’s manufacturing sector, resulting in employment declines.
