Group 1: Trends for freshwater in India
India is a country with a population of 1.2 billion people. Fresh drinking water is very important because of how many people live in the country.
At current rates, by 2025 it is expected that nearly 3 billion people will live below the water stress threshold. The water stress threshold is how much clean freshwater is accessible for the population. If more people need water than is currently available, there will be struggles to find clean water

Another issue with future water in India is the trend that by
2050, per person water availability is expected to drop by about 44% due to
growing populations and higher demand, as well as higher pollution levels. This
is why we must begin to clean up our globe. Pollution has a serious
impact on our freshwater drinking supplies.
