As India’s population moves towards 1.5 billion, our ability to secure the future of our citizens hinges on our ability to secure water for them. We now need an approach that addresses challenges in the water sector with speed, scale, and sustainability. Our work with partner organizations on the ground through projects, programs, partnerships and networks in the last 15 years has given us rich, deep learning of what works and where gaps continue to exist.

Silos have to be broken; people, knowledge, and data have to become much more easy to find; monitoring has to be more real-time and less resource-intensive; and finally we have to enable many more people to be a part of the solution.

Our journey to enhance agency of actors in the water ecosystem has started with a re-imagined approach to build capacities of front-line workers or “the first-mile”. This is the starting point of all water security interventions. Digital infrastructure is supporting this process by making knowledge fluid, increasing transparency, “lighting-up” assets, and increasing interactions – without placing impossible expectations on existing resources.
