Jul-Sep India's finite and fragile water resources are stressed and depleting while sectoral demands are growing rapidly. Fragmentation of water management at the sectoral, national, regional and international levels with very little coordination amongst them has added another dimension to the issue. Deterioration of surface and groundwater quality due to inadequate pollution control and waste treatment along with rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and intensification of water usage has been causing pollution of rivers, lakes and wet lands. In the past, water has been developed rather than managed. The essence of all water resources management efforts should therefore be to satisfy the water needs of communities in terms of both quantity and quality. - Reproduced.
