"India's demand for water is expected to exceed all current sources of supply and the country is set to become water scarce country by 2025.

印度对水的需求将超出目前所有的供应来源，该国到2025年将成为水资源匮乏的国家。

Nearly 70 per cent of country's irrigation and 80 per cent of domestic water use comes from groundwater, which is rapidly getting depleted.

Most of the river water is going into sea. During 50s, the then central cabinet minister, Dr.K.L.Rao proposed to connect all rivers from Ganga to Cauvery so that the precious water can be conserved instead of allowing it into the sea. But Nehru did not agree for that proposal.
大多数河水流入大海了。
50年代，时任中央内阁部长Dr.K.L.Rao提议把恒河和高韦里河等所有河流连成网，把宝贵的水资源储存起来，别让其流入大海里。
但是尼赫鲁并不同意这一提议。
