Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
Safe drinking water is a fundamental right of every citizen of India. Water is essential for good quality of life and health. Fatal diseases spread through dirty water. Consumption of unhealthy water can lead to diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, etc. Hence the supply of water is the responsibility of the government. However, people still lack access to safe drinking water. Areas farther from water storage units get water in lower amounts than those nearer. Industries have been exploiting water resources in rural areas. They release waste water into such water bodies. Water availability in public taps is irregular and limited. People who cannot afford to buy bottled water or private supplies face a big setback in quality of life.
