Sounds similar to what we need to do in America(except repairs/replacements also). It revitalizes economies to have all those workers in their area for such a time lol

It's important to improve water access and quality in the us, but this figure from 2023 paints a very different situation than India.

2.2mil/330mil is less than 1%.

2.2 is still way, way too high, but India has a much more serious issue. (and has made great progress!)

Yes I meant to highlight repairing pipes in America but I failed at doing that well lol
