30 Out Of World's 100 Cities Which Fear Water Crisis Are From India: WWF
WWF's 'Water Risk Filter' report has suggested that 30 of the 100 cities across world, which fear future water crisis, are from India. The Indian cities include Jaipur, Indore, Srinagar, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Visakhapatnam and Dhanbad among others. The study warned the population in high-water risk areas could increase to 51% in 2050 from 17%(2020). However, the report also cited Indian revival models of Bashettihalli wetland, Bengaluru and Sirpur Lake, Indore as preventive measures.
