Background
Indian cities are facing huge water-related risks that are aggravated by climate change, rapid urbanization, and outdated infrastructure resulting in flooding, water scarcity and rehabilitation costs on a scale that overwhelm the capacities of cities.
The report by the NITI Aayog clearly highlights increasing water stress across the country. The report states that 600 million people face high-to-extreme water stress, 75% of households do not have drinking water on-premise. The announcement of the Jal Shakti Abhiyan (JSA) a time-bound, mission-mode water conservationcampaign initiated by the new Jal Ministry is a welcoming step focusing on rainwater harvesting,rejuvenation of water bodies, reuse of treated wastewater, and intensive afforestation. It is of utmostimportance for meeting the rising demand for water augmentation, improving the health of waterbodies as they provide various ecosystem services that are required to manage microclimate,biodiversity and nutrient cycling.

| Looking at the difficulty faced by the common man in present as well as in future, the training is adequate and satisfactory. We learned water pollution, solid waste management etc. If we harvest rainwater then the problems regarding shortage of water can be mitigated. In same way solid waste can be converted into manure.
