Themes & Indicators	Ecosystem Quality of water and water related ecosystems is monitored, maintained, and improved The water balance (water quantity ) of water related ecosystem, including groundwater dependent, is monitored and maintained. Conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements is ensured People Proportion of population having access to sufficient, safely managed and affordable drinking water services is increased Proportion of population having access to adequate and equitable safely managed sanitation services is increased Proportion of population having access to adequate and affordable a safely managed hand-washing facility with soap and water is increased Mortality rate attributed to unsafe water, unsafe sanitation and lack of hygiene (exposure to unsafe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for All (WASH) services) is decreased. Economic and Development Water supply for economic and development activities across all sectors is secure, reliable and sustainably used. Water-use efficiency in economic and development activities is improved and sustainable withdrawal and supply of freshwater is ensured. Sustainable water practices by economic and development activities are promoted and implemented. Pollution load management and circular economy is enhanced Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Response Mortalities and the number of people affected by water-related disasters is significantly reduced Economic losses due to water-related disasters are reduced The risks of water-related disasters are addressed through integrated plans and strategies, monitoring systems and preparedness Investment in water related disaster security measures, such as nature-based solutions and infrastructure, to reduce damage and protect from the impacts of climate change is increased Cross Cutting Enabling environment such as water resources policy, law(s), plans, regulations, or similar, at the national and/or sub-national levels, are developed within GESI principles and implemented. Institutional setting for water security is supported with clear role and sufficient capacity, and also able to effectively collaborate and coordinate. A collaboration mechanism for public, community and multi-stakeholder participation in water resources development, management and decision making that addresses inequalities is established. Management instruments and tools to support IWRM implementation such as in water-use management, pollution control, water-related ecosystem management, water-related disaster management at the national, basin or aquifer level are established and implemented. Innovative financing mechanisms that increase revenue and budget for both IWRM elements and water resources infrastructure are developed and implemented. Transboundary operational arrangements for water cooperation and water diplomacy (including political stability) are increased and organizational framework for transboundary water management is established, and regular data and information sharing between countries is implemented. Innovation and research on infrastructure, climate change adaptation, and resilience and sustainable environment technology in water related infrastructure and management is undertaken, developed and implemented Arrangements (eg. coordination mechanisms) to avoid water related conflict within and between countries are established

Description	Industrialists in India are showing an inspiring example for water conservation. An Industrialist namely Mr. Darshan Jariwala owning a Textile processing factory in Surat, India says: His factory consumes almost 5000 liters of freshwater daily. He also pays heavy water bills every year for this water consumption. He chose to opt for Rainwater Conservation and decided to recharge rainwater in his factory's Borewell and use that water for his factory's daily water requirements. His premises having 800 Square meters roof area is now conserving more than a million liters of Contamination free rainwater each year ( Which is water for 200 days for his factory in every year). DEVRAM INTERNATIONAL and it's NGO Shree Someshwar Education Trust helped the Industrialist achieve self reliance for his own Water.
