India is one of the world’s most water-stressed countries, with less
than five percent of the world’s fresh water resources. A recent UN
Water Resources Group report noted that more than 100 million people in
India live in areas of poor water quality. However, India’s Prime
Minister Narendra Modi has placed clean water at the “heart of good
governance.”
“We are honored and humbled by this recognition from the AIF,” said
Decker. “We understand the complexity and urgency of India’s unique
water challenges and we are committed to working with the government and
our customers to develop sustainable solutions that will help fuel the
growth of India’s economy. At the same time, we have a responsibility to
help expand access to vital clean water resources. That’s why we created
Xylem Watermark, our corporate citizenship program, to help bring water
and sanitation access and education to communities in need in India and
around the world.”

bridge between the United States and India through high-impact
interventions in education, livelihoods, public health, and leadership
development.
