Water Resource Management
Keywords:
Water Resource Management, Water Cycle ManagementAbstract
Human’s whole existence depends on the availability of water. The management of water resources will need to keep evolving in order to meet the existing and foreseeable issues brought on by the allocation of water. The decision-making process will become considerably more difficult as a result of the increasing unpredictable nature of the impacts of global climate change and the long-term repercussions of management practises. Continuous climate change will probably result in situations that have never been seen before. Numerous alternative management options are being looked for as a result in order to minimise disturbances in the allocation of water resources.
In a perfect world, water resource management planning would take into consideration all of the competing demands for water and strive to allocate water equally in order to meet all of the uses and demands. In real practise, this is a rare option along with other types of resource management.
The sustainability of the allocation of water resources, both now and in the future, is one of the issues that we are most concerned about for the future of our water-based resources. The management of water resources assumes an increasingly critical role as the availability of this resource continues to decline. In order to ensure that water resources will be available for future generations, it is essential to strike a healthy equilibrium between the requirements of people and those of the natural world. Present paper discussed in detail about water resource management in India.
