The Earth is filled with nearly 71% of water, yet we can only consume 2% of that water. This mainly lies in the fact that most of this water is filled with saline. Worse, in a country like ours, where we see rapid urbanization, the need for water is even more. The rapidly urbanizing Indian population is expected to reach a figure close to 600 million urban people by 2031, leaving a the country to face serious challenges for urban planners. Indian cities have for long lived with intermittent water supply systems riddled with a variety of problems ranging from high levels of NRW to contamination issues. The Chairman and Managing Director of Vishvaraj Infrastructure Limited (VIL India) Arun Lakhani has understood the importance of such a requirement and are working to provide 24 X 7 water. And with that we go to Magadi.

After the success of Nagpur 24x7, Vishvaraj Infra decided to explore different locations and we wanted to incorporate of water management model all over the nation. This will be a big investment but over time it will be beneficial for all the citizens of the country http://www.lakhaniarun.org
Every house from slum dwellers, to flat owners to bungalow residents everyone will get pressurized water supply round the clock. The reason Nagpur 24x7 is a huge success is due to the 4th P in the PPP model. The 4th P is the people. Their opinion and feedback was taken into account due to which the project became such a hit among everyone. VIL started out with Orange City Water (OCW) along with Veoila France and the project just developed and grew to be a success story says ArunLakhani. https://arunlakhaniblog.wordpress.com
