WATER
RESOURCE MANAGEMENT 
MADE BY :- AKSHITA KAMBOJ
 Haryana and Telangana are two states in
India that are facing increasing water
OVERVIEW scarcity and management issues. These
OF WATER issues are primarily caused by population
SCARCITY growth, industrialization, and
AND urbanization, which have led to a rapidly
increasing demand for water. At the same
MANAGEME time, the availability of water resources in
NT ISSUES the states has become more limited due to
IN HARYANA overuse and pollution. Both states have
AND been facing a decline in ground water
levels as well, making it difficult for
TELANGANA farmers and people living in rural areas to
access water for their daily needs.
 GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES AND
PROJECTS IN WATER MANAGEMENT IN
HARYANA 
The Haryana government has
implemented the "Jal Jeevan
Hariyali" program, which aims to
improve water management and
increase the availability of water in
the state. The program focuses on
rainwater harvesting, groundwater
recharge, and water conservation.

GOVERNMENT INITIATIVES AND
PROJECTS IN WATER MANAGEMENT IN
TELANGANA
The Telangana government
has launched the "Mission
Kakatiya" initiative, which
aims to restore and rejuvenate
the state's lakes and tanks,
which are traditional water
harvesting systems.
The state has also
implemented a number of
water supply schemes, such as
the construction of new dams
and canals, to increase the
availability of water for
irrigation and drinking.
The state also has a scheme for
the construction of check dams
which are intended to harvest
rainwater and recharge
groundwater.
 Increasing water scarcity and population growth make
water management a critical issue in Haryana and
Telangana. To address these challenges, the state
government has built new dams and canals and
promoted conservation and efficiency measures. Still,
challenges like climate change, groundwater depletion,
CONCLUS poor infrastructure, and pollution persist. Water
management strategies such as rainwater harvesting,
ION micro-irrigation, groundwater management, and
traditional water management can help improve water
management and ensure sustainability. Telangana and
Haryana can improve water management by
implementing these strategies and exploring new
technologies. This will protect and sustain the water
resources of the states.
