In view of the looming water crisis the CII-WI has developed a plan to provide a comprehensive solution towards efficient water management. A few critical areas which are of long term business interests to CII-WI will be Industrial Water treatment, Municipal Water supply & Waste water treatment, Water shed development, Rain water Harvesting, Community based drinking water projects, Drip irrigation projects, Urban and Rural Sanitation.
CII-WI has been rendering water management services to various end users in industries and to the community as a whole. The services include Preliminary water survey, detailed water audits, training programs, developing Public Private Community partnership projects (PPCP) in water resource management under the auspices of Indian Business Alliance on Water (IBAW) and organizing events such as National Awards for Excellence in Water Management in industries, Water Investor's meet and the Water summit.
Water is essential for human survival and the basic requirement for all sectors of the economy. Although India's average annual rainfall is adequate to provide water for various uses for the billion people living, water scarcity has become the norm in both rural and urban areas. Equitable and sustainable management of water resources is a major global challenge.
In this context Public-Private-Community partnerships have great potential to contribute towards water resource management and achieving mutual benefits. With this objective, CII joined hands with World Economic Forum to form Indian Business Alliance on Water (IBAW). SDC, UNDP and USAID- India are supporting the IBAW initiatives.
