In financial parlance it is called 'forced saving'. Every new building built hereon must have WATER METERS. The Government must make this compulsory. The existing buildings must ensure water meters within a given deadline. Make the electricity meter reader read water meter reading also. Residents must be enabled to pay the water bill at post-offices/banks/through the internet. This would be a mammoth exercise for India, but the future of our children, it must and should be done. If required, a variable tariff could be worked out.
