Running to Save Water: One step at a time
A water crisis is impending. The reason I am running is because I want to do three things – raise awareness about the water crisis, show the urgency of the problem we are facing and drive action from companies that represent 90 per cent of water use globally, individuals and governments.” According to World Bank reports, India is home to 18 per cent of the world’s population, but has only 4 per cent of its water resources. “Using techniques like Direct Seeded Rice, Alternate Wetting and Drying, conservative tillage, efficient use of fertilizers, etc water usage can be brought down by up to 30 per cent. “Bayer’s large manufacturing facility in Vapi has successfully managed to reduce water consumption per ton of production by 35 per cent over the last six years. At our other sites and research centres, wastewater recycling plants, sewage treatment plants etc are helping us reuse a huge quantity of water that would have otherwise gone to waste,” said D Narain, President, Bayer South Asia and Global Head of Smallholder Farming.
