A big claim has been made about India in a United Nations report. It has been said that by 2050, India will face the biggest water crisis in the world. The situation will worsen in the neighboring countries of Pakistan and China as well. Flow conditions in many rivers will also weaken.

According to the report released by the United Nations, in the year 2016, the 9.33 crore population was facing a water crisis.

It has been claimed in the report that 26 percent of the world's population is not getting clean water to drink. While 46 percent of the population is taking advantage of safe drinking water.
