| Summary, etc. |
The present trends of water scarcity indicate that it is going to be critical problem in the 21st Century. This article presents a comprehensive survey of the existing scenario of the water resources management and water related issues facing the country. The first and foremost is the need for resource conservation, efficiency in water uses, minimisation of losses and recycling of used water. Agriculture being the largest consumer of water, the article suggests adoption of water-conserving cropping patterns, water harvesting and water pricing policies to discourage waste. The core strategy of watershed management lies in a combination of protection, regeneration and production. It concludes that to address the problem fully and severely both the Central and state governments must seek and enlist the involvement of communities at all levels. - Reproduced. |
