Jal Jeevan Mission-How Ritewater Solutions is taking this forward for the betterment of everyone?

About the Objective

For as long as one can remember, water has been the focal point of life. We have relied on water for centuries for survival and will continue to. As important as water is for us humans, it is getting less accessible by day.

Everyday, a woman from a rural Indian village walks at least 6 kilometers on an average to provide her family with water for the day. Now that may not affect people in cities who are using more water than their counterparts in the villages. But if the water they drink is polluted with fatal chemicals that are left inside their bodies?

The picture is jarring. Water truly represents the quality of life of the region. Poisoned water being the only source of quenching thirsts does not bode well for anyone, the people or the government. To eradicate the problem, the Government of India launched the Jal Jeevan Mission.

A mission that aims to bring clean water to as many rural homes as possible, at affordable costs. The goal is to bring safe water to every rural home by 2025. This sounds noble and the right direction towards a better quality of living for people who need it. However, a mission with such a magnitude is not an easy feat to achieve.

The objectives of the Government of India

More than 85% of the water we use ends up in sewage systems. The concoction of the chemicals in the sewage make a lethal area to be around. The Government aims to reuse the sewage water and bring it back to the people.
There is no reliable system in the country that supports the rural population to quench their water needs. The government aims to develop or revive the existing water sources to bring in reliable and sustainable solutions of water for the people.
If there is water available, the presence of chemicals such as arsenic, lead and iron make the water poisonous. The Government aims to bring in technology that removes the contaminants from the water, thus providing safe water for the people.
As someone who understands the problem, and has a solution, Rite Water Solutions partnered with state government projects such as the Jal Jeevan Mission campaign “ Har Ghar Jal” and international organizations such as “Johkasou technology” of Japan to deliver quality drinking water across the length and breadth of the country.
With Mobile water and water ATM’s, Rite Water has been able to bring in water to more than 1.5 million people.
To realize the goal of ‘Har Ghar Jal’, the mission is making all-out efforts in close coordination with States and as a result, now more than 8.42 Crore (42.7%) rural households in the country have the provision of tap water supply.
The Government of India has been the biggest client and supporter of Rite Water Solutions in improving the lives of the rural and urban town population. The technology we have adopted has been able to clear the lethal contaminants from the water, thus eradicating the threat of life to them.
Mobile water ATMs provide a modern solution to protecting nature and providing employment to the youth. These mobile ATM’s function as a safer, affordable, and a nature friendly alternative to plastic water bottles. They not only reduce the amount of plastic that gets dispensed after every use, they also provide employment to the youth. Mobile ATMs are run by the youth.
The Water ATM system is another innovative solution that has been solving rural water problems. With a water purification station at the heart of the community, the ATM’s provide water to people at around 25 paise/litre. These ATMs functioning 24/7 makes it easier for people to bring in water at any time they need.

The Conclusion:

An initiative that allows people to bring in safe water to their homes at lowest costs is the one that Rite Water is proud of. Water has been an essential source of life for so long, and the need for it only increases every day. RiteWater aims at not just solving the scarcity for the present, but the future.

Initiatives by RWS also enable private citizens to come forward and help aid us in making the lives of rural populations better. Initiatives like water ATM systems and Solar water purification systems in new locations have a heavy initial burden, people can contribute and share the burden as they will.

Water is a necessity, and RWS aims to make it accessible to every person they can. A safe water solution is everyone’s right.
