Providing safe drinking water for the people of India is a nationwide initiative. To this day, the remotest of villages do not have clean drinking water for the villagers. Even in some of the more popular areas, having clean drinking water is somewhat of a new phenomenon. Over the past few years, Dow India has worked diligently to build water purification plants in and around some of the smaller towns and villages of India, providing clean drinking water at a minimal price. This small charge helps offset the costs of the purification process as well as plant management.

Another one of India’s largest private businesses, Tata Group, has also taken a true interest in providing the basic necessity of clean drinking water to the masses. With over 10 years of research and development, Tata Group created a low priced water purification filter that does not require running water, electricity, or a battery. Tata Group believes this system will be affordable enough for the low income sector of India to afford and maintain, thus providing the healthy drinking water individuals and families need.

Seeing as hundreds of thousands of people, predominately children, are dying every year from lack of clean water, finding affordable purification systems is a necessity. There are countless companies and distributors in India that sell filters and purification systems on both large and small scales. Completing a simple search will bring up companies that work predominately with grand scale water treatment plants and provide the equipments, building strategies, etc., as well as those companies that have the ability to work in a smaller capacity.
