Internship profile

Arghyam is looking for a Data and Research Intern for 3 months. Arghyam is embarking on several projects related to water data, specifically to do with groundwater and sanitation. One of the themes we want to explore under sanitation is its relationship with health. To do this, we want to identify relevant data sets from rural health and look for correlations between relevant health indicators and rural sanitation. Once we have this data and understand the correlations, we will also be working to make the data more accessible to different communities like designers, journalists and developers and WatSan professionals.

A growing concern - How soon will India run out of water - Paper published in the Journal of Global Health
This paper published in the Journal of Global Health sheds light on the grave water scarcity that the country could face in the coming years and warns that this could happen in as few as twenty years as the demand for water continue to exceed the sources of supply. The paper argues that this will have a negative effect on the public health and sanitation situation in the country and urgent steps thus need to be taken to deal with this situation.
