India is experiencing increasing variability in availability,with differentials translating into iniquitous distribution and access. Deteriorating water quality is anadd-on stressor with impacts on human health and ecosystems. The scenario therefore calls for Industry over the years has been undertaking measures to improve their water usagetowards attainingwater neutrality. An overall framework that defines approach towards attaining neutrality is necessarysuch that acommonunderstanding of “Water Neutrality”is developedensuring its uniformity in terms To streamline the process, NITI Aayog constituted a Steering Committee under the leadership of Prof.Ramesh Chand, Member, NITI Aayog, and in association with CII, formulated standards for defining The document attempts to bring out a standard definition and approach for water neutrality/positivitystatus based on defining key principles on which water neutrality should be based. It holds immense It is envisaged that thestandardized definition, approach, and principles put forth, will benefit theindustry immensely. It will also help in extending and evolving this appr
