WATER MANAGEMENT
“EVERY DROP COUNTS”
NATURAL RESOURCES Biotic – are obtained from the biosphere such as forests and animals, and the
materials that can be obtained from them. Fossil fuels , coal , petroleum etc . Abiotic – are those that come from non-living, non-organic material includes land,
fresh water, air and heavy metals gold, iron, copper, silver etc
Renewable resources :that can be replenished naturally. Some of these resources, like sunlight, air, wind, etc., are continuously available and their quantity is not noticeably affected by human consumption.
Non-renewable resources :that form extremely slowly and those that do not naturally form in the environment. a good example of this are fossil fuels, which are in this category because their rate of formation is extremely slow.
WATER MANAGEMENT -Water resources are sources of water that are useful to humans.
USES OF FRESH WATER- Agricultural , Industrial , Household which mostly require fresh water.
“A drop of water is worth more than a sack of gold to a thirsty man”
SOME FACTSIt is estimated that a quantity of 1700 cubic meters of water is
required for each individual per year as per UNOIf a country experiences less water per year below 1700 cubic
meters, the country is said to be experiencing “WATER STRESS”
If a country experiences less water per person below 1000 cubic meters, the country is said to be facing “WATER SCARCITY”
At present, the per capita availability of water in India is 1706 cubic meters per person per year
According to World Water Council by the Year 2025 about 48 countries with more than 2.8 billion people will be effected by “WATER STRESS” & this population could be 35% of the World Population

Increasing demand for WATER
The demand for water is increasing in rapid manner due to population growth and economic development.
The present population of India is about 130 cores it likely to touch 150 cores by 2050
By 2010: Water requirement ranges from 694 to 700 BCM
By 2025: Water requirement ranges from 784 to 850 BCM
By 2050: Water requirement ranges from 973 to 1180 BCM
Hence, We have to plan for additional needs of water by undertaking new projects as well as improving the water efficiency in the existing projects.

Water Bodies
Fresh water bodies:• Rivers• Dams• Canals• Tanks & Ponds• lakes
“Save water secure future”
Uses of Water Bodies
Direct water supplyHydroelectricityControlling watercoursesDownstream water supplyIrrigationDevelopment of individuals and for social welfare
“Today's rain water is tomorrow's life saver”
Need of Water Management
Population growthRapid UrbanizationControl on Flood and Drought prone areasClimate changeDepletion of fresh waterWater Pollution
“Waste water today - Live in desert tomorrow”

Issues with Water in India
River Pollution Ground Water Pollution Poor management of water resourceCorruption and slow growthInadequate storage capacityWater conflicts1) State-State conflicts:Krishna Dispute- Maharashtra , Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh2) Country-Country conflicts:Brahmaputra Dispute- India and China
“Let's Stop Polluting Water”
Future Challenges to India
Interlinking of riversDeveloping new projects Planning good networking of canals and distributaries Irrigation DevelopmentUtilization of water resources Rain Water harvesting Implementation of an integrated approach to water
