Abstract: The paper analyzes the India water crisis. Water scarcity in India has been a problem for a number of years now as many Indian water sources contain biological pollutants and excessive use of groundwater for irrigation depletes water reservoirs. This paper will explore non-revenue water levels and conduct a cost benefit analysis. It will conclude with a recommendation on where the solution to mitigating the Indian water crisis lies – privatization.
