What are Distribution Losses?
Indian cities of Bengaluru and Delhi are going through an enormous water crisis. The rising heatwaves and scorching summers are affecting our country's water security. Ensuring water security is imperative for the growth and development of a country and its people. This will require focus on increasing the supply of water, through
rainwater harvesting and ensuring that the millions of groundwater systems are recharged;
It also means rethinking the way cities draw water from longer and longer distances, which adds to loss of water and higher cost and so unaffordability. It requires stressing on the need to recycle
every drop of wastewater so that we do not destroy our rivers; this in turn means redesigning our sewage systems so that they are affordable and so sustainable.

Watch the full episode to understand the challenges caused by growing water crisis and how we can mitigate the risk.
