Detailed Solution

The given statement is false.
Regarding water availability per person per year, India ranks 133rd in the world and receives close to 4% of the world's precipitation. According to the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, 135 litres of water per head daily is recommended as a standard for metropolitan cities. Also, the rank of India in terms of water quality globally is 120 out of 122 nations. The two primary sources of fresh water in India are precipitation and the melting of Himalayan ice caps. Therefore, the only solution to improve India's rank in terms of water availability and water quality globally is the conservation and judicious use of water so that this resource can be enjoyed for extended periods. The correct statement would be India ranks 133rd in the world in global water availability per person per annum.
