🌕 India, the world's largest groundwater consumer uses around 230 cubic kilometres of groundwater accounting for 12% of global groundwater extraction in a year. At this rate by 2030, nearly 60% of India's aquifers will be in a critical state.
🌕 Out of total available groundwater of 253 BCM (billion cubic metres), agriculture (irrigation) alone consumes around 90%
🌕 Groundwater resources are overexploited in nearly 17% of total assessment units (blocks, talukas, watersheds etc) in the country : Jal Shakthi ministry 

🌕 Nearly 13.8 crore household that comprise 16 crore people lack access to safe drinking water. 

🌕 Niti Aayog's Composite Water Management Index (CWMI) report, pointed out that the country's water demand is predicted to be twice the supply available, 
implying a subsequent 6% loss in GDP.

Initially, the Web started as a great way for academics and researchers to distribute information; but as millions of consumers flocked to the Internet, it began to spawn completely new business models. Three good examples of innovative models include:   • Amazon - Amazon (which opened its doors in July, 1995) houses a database of millions of products that anyone can browse at any time.
