RYE BROOK, N.Y., April 2, 2016 /3BL Media/ – Xylem Inc. (NYSE: XYL), a leading global water technology company dedicated to solving the world’s most challenging water issues, will be recognized this evening by the American India Foundation (AIF) for its long-term commitment to India’s growing economy and to helping provide greater access to water for the country’s most vulnerable communities. Xylem President and Chief Executive Officer Patrick Decker will be a featured speaker at the AIF Annual Atlanta Gala at the Atlanta Athletic Club.

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.”
