520			_aWater being a finite yet indispensable and vulnerable source needs to be managed scientifically. This can be achieved by augmentation of water resources on one hand and conservation and judicious utilisation on the other. Agriculture being the most water intensive sector, appropriate techniques of irrigation, cropping and conservation need to be developed and applied.
