US Water Regulations and India's Water Challenges
India's current population is 1.3 billion, almost one‐fifth of the world's population. The economy of India is the seventh‐largest in the world (on the basis of nominal gross domestic product) and the third‐largest (by purchasing power parity). India's economy grew at a rate of 7.6% in 2015 ‐ 2016 and is expected to grow 8.0% in 2016 ‐ 2017. Despite this economic growth, India is facing water resource challenges such as cleaning its water bodies, providing safe drinking water, protecting public health, and reversing declining groundwater levels. Many of these water issues are similar to what the United States encountered several decades ago.
