| Abstract: | Life of every organism present on planet earth is
dependent on water, therefore, quantity and quality of water are of utmost
significance. Water should not be considered as free but a precious gift of
nature. Therefore, it must be used judiciously and prudentially for sustainable
future, failing which the situation shall be very formidable. Nature has
provided every commodity in abundance but the greedy and negligent tendency of
human beings have created an havoc in the case of water. Consumerism,
Urbanization and Industrialization along with excessive unproductive use in
irrigation have accentuated the situation of .water crisis. Even the elite
class people of our country are not only over-exploiting the water resources
but are using for recreational purposes. In fact every living organism has
right on water. Although, the planet earth has immense quantity of water, i.e.
1,46,00,00,000 Km3 but usable water is very limited (97% in oceans and 2%
in ice glaciers). Therefore, we have to conserve every drop of water for our
forthcoming generation for their survival. As mostly our dependency is on
ground water sources, but unfortunately they are severely depleting owing to
over-exploiting. Therefore, it is exigence to make necessary efforts for proper
management of ground water sources for present and sustainable future. In the
present communication the extent of problem, causative factors and managemental
measures will be discussed in detail. |
