A large chunk of utilisable water flows as runoff each year into oceans, leaving people and land dry and perched. The article emphasises that the long-term adverse effects of not utilising the water resources would be catastroplic due to recurrence of floods, droughts and the resulting misery and unemployment, which a developing country like India can ill-afford. It highlights the near crisis situation in water resources management. To overcome these people have to be made an integral part of the water management system. Substantial augmentation of water supply can be effected by raising storage capacities and embarking upon new large reservoir projects. - Reproduced.
