carefully.
WATER MANAGEMENT
1. Needless to say that water will perhaps be the scarcest commodity of the 21st century. On
global scale it is assessed that over the next two decades, water use by human beings will
increase by 40% and that 17% more water will be needed to grow more food for the increasing
population. Water it finite in nature and the quantum of water cannot be increased. The World
Water Vision Commission drew attention to the 'gloomy arithmetic of water', as water demand
will outstrip its availability. As such State of Art and innovative technologies have to be
developed for reducing wastage of water and recycling waste water. There is need for a Water
Secure World and to achieve this objective 5000 experts had gathered in Hague in March 2000
to prepare a policy document on this subject. And they have indeed provided very useful
guidelines.
2. The scenario of water in India is equally gloomy. Against our requirement of about 2788
billion cu. metres of water annually by 2050, availability of water will only be about 2300 billion
cu. metres including that from the ground water sources. The problem is further compounded
by the fact that only 15-16% of water resources have been developed thus leaving a very large
gap thereby emphasizing the need for conservation and preservation of water.
3. As regards the drinking water scenario although it is claimed that 83% of urban population
and 90% of rural population is covered, the sustainable availability, coverage and quality of
water carry a big question mark.​
