the slide is related to water management in detail

2. • WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT
• INTRODUCTION
• Water is a unique substance. It is one of the few materials on the Earth
that exists naturally as a solid, liquid or gas. It is not possible for life
on earth to exist without water. Scientists estimate that there are over
one billion cubic kilometers of water on this earth, which covers
nearly three fourth of the earths surface.
• Though this seems an extremely huge amount, in actual fact, less than
one percent is fresh and usable and is found in lakes, ponds, rivers and
groundwater. Of the remaining, ninety seven percent is found in
oceans and two percent is locked up in glaciers and ice-caps

3. • From a global viewpoint, fresh water is abundant and the
volume of fresh water renewed by the hydrological cycle
between the oceans, the atmosphere, the sun and the land is
more than enough to meet the needs of five to ten times
existing world population
• Water Resources Management is a very important issue with
regard to the conservation and the protection of water. Water
demand management is meant to manage the available water
resources wisely and to deliver the necessary amount for
sustainable development. In these include environmental
conservation with inter and intra generation equity in mind
while any policy of conservation is formulated.

4. • Water Resources Management is an international,
multidisciplinary forum for the publication of original
contributions and the exchange of knowledge and experience
on the management of water resources. In particular, the
journal publishes contributions on water resources assessment,
development, conservation and control,
• DEFINITION-.
“Water resource management is the control of water usage and
also the quality of water. Many cities have departments that
will test the quality of water at treatment plants.”

6. • WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN INDIA
• In pre-British India water management was essentially a local matter
and was in the hands of the community. This changed with the arrival
of the British period and of modernity. Control over water resources
passed from the hands of the community into those of the state. While
ownership of natural resources was claimed by the state , management
passed into the hands of engineers and bureaucrats.
• The induction to western engineering ushered in the era of large dams
and there was a concomitant decline of traditional forms of small
scale, local, community-managed systems of water harvesting and
management. These new projects became symbols of development.

7. • Government initiatives for water resource management
are outlined in :
• National Water Policy 1987,
• National Conservation Strategy and Policy Statement Environment
and Development 1992, and
• Policy Statement for Abatement Pollution 1992.
• Water [Prevention and Control of Pollution] Act, 1974. This Act is
meant to curb the various kinds of pollution ranging from domestic to
industrial pollution.

10. • Water resource management by Community:- Pani Panchayat in
Maharashtra :
• The term Pani Panchayat actually refers to the mobilization of groups
off a farmers for the formulation and implementation of community
irrigation projects. The term was first coined to denote the five
member committee that was formed to over see the first lift irrigation
project set up by the Gram Gourav Pratishthan [GGP].Today the
term symbolizes the principles of equitable distribution of water.
• Gram Gaurav Pratishthan (GGP) was established as a charitable trust,
at village Naigaon, lies in the severely region of Purandhar Taluka,
near Pune, Maharashtra. Ever since it has been the back bone to
various development and projects carried out under by Pani Panchyat.
Here are few of the facts about Gram Gaurav Pratishthan.

11. • Need for Water Resource Management.-
• Water is a limited resource. The amount of freshwater available to
man kind and nature is limited. Only saltwater resources are
abundantly available, but even the quality of these resources is under
stress as well.
•
• Agriculture accounts for almost two-thirds of freshwater
consumption. Efficiency is often far below 50%, mainly due to
conveyance losses in inefficient irrigation systems. Only 12% of
freshwater is used to provide drinking water to the growing world
population.
• Less than 50% of the world population has access to potable water
from safe sources. More than 50% of all piped water is wasted as a
result of leaking pipes. The provision of high quality drinking water
requires treatment depending on the source as well as effective
demand of the end-users.

12. • Only 20% of the potable water used in industrialized countries is
required for drinking, food preparation and hygienic purposes. The
rest is consumed in activities for which a lower quality would be
sufficient. The reduction of water wastage could greatly enhance
accessibility of freshwater.
• Freshwater is becoming increasingly scarce and expensive like all
commodities. Providing water to small and large consumers and
communities has a price . Climate change is affecting the spatial and
temporal availability of water resources , there being either too little,
too much, or too dirty water.
• More developed countries can afford to pay the higher cost for water.
However, in rural and Urban Africa it is not the inability of people to
pay for the full cost of drinking water , but rather the lack of capital to
invest into efficient water infrastructure.

13. • People who know the importance of water can understand very well
that it has become very important to save water. We all know water is
the most precious resource among all.
• Today we all are facing the biggest problem that is scarcity of water
drinking water as the level of water is continually decreasing. Many
nations have been facing water problems for years.
• Millions of people start their day in search of water, end of the day
they succeed. In many countries people die because of contaminated
water as they do not have any water resources that contain pure water.

14. • Advantage-
1. saving of extra water,
2.recycling of water,
3.ground water, surface water source is safe from
pollution due to treatment of waste water.
4.treated water is used for vegetation.
5.cost of transportation of polluted water is saved.
6.Air pollution is limited to treatment plant.

15. • Disadvantage-
1 space.
2.money is used for construction of waste water
treatment
3. handling of dry sludge , cake.
4.food chain is missed for various organism ,life cycle
river animals.
5.various chemicals are produced to treat the waste
water
6.nature capacity(river capacity is remains un-utilized
to treat the waste water during flowing) to treat the
water remains un-utilized.

16. • CONCLUSION-
• Lastly we can conclude that the current rate of population growth,
combined with the growing strain on available water resources, India
could well have the dubious distinction of having the largest number
of water-deprived persons in the world in the next25 years. This is the
scenario if the available resources are not managed judiciously and
with care . Urbanization and an ever-increasing population in the
recent decades have contaminated water bodies, thus making them
unfit for use.
