 India's Water
Woes
India country has 18 percent of
the world’s population, but only 4
percent of its water resources, making
it among the most water-stressed in
the world. A large number of Indians
face high to extreme water stress,
according to a recent report by the
government’s policy think tank, the
NITI Aayog. India’s dependence on an
increasingly erratic monsoon for its
water requirements increases this
challenge. Climate change is likely to
exacerbate this pressure on water
resources, even as the frequency and
intensity on floods and droughts in the
country increases.
The Importance of Water
Management
Management of water resources in
India is of paramount importance
to sustain one billion plus
population.

Water management is a composite

area with linkage to various sectors
of Indian economy including the
agricultural, industrial, domestic and
household, power, environment,
fisheries and transportation sector.
Water Scarcity in
India
India is facing a severe water crisis, with
many regions experiencing acute water
scarcity.
Climate change,overexploitation of
groundwater,and poor water management
practices are some of the factors
contributing to this crisis.

Innovative Solutions for Water Management

In recent years,there have been several

innovative solutions for water management
in India,such as rainwater
harvesting,wastewater treatment, and
community-based water management.
These solutions have the potential to
transform India's water landscape.
