Despite improvements over the past few years, accessing clean water is a big challenge in rural India. According to the National Sample Survey Office (NSSO) estimates, 14% of the households reported shortage of drinking water at some point during the year.Two years of back-to-back drought have meant Indias reservoirs are three-quarters of the past decades average. Water scarcity could hurt crops, worsen price pressures and dent growth in Asias third-biggest economy. (Photo by Ritesh Shukla/NurPhoto)
