Integrated Drinking Water Resource Management: Impact Study of Watersheds in different Geohydrological and Socio-Economic Situations in India
Journal Title: International Journal of engineering Research and Applications - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 10
Abstract
Increased competition for the limited ground water resource has resulted into the rapid depletion of sources. Which in turn creates unmanageable water scarcity problem during the summer almost in all the agro-climatic zones of India. A research on consequence of watershed development on drinking water supply (quality, quantity and access) has been conducted in seven different locations in five states of India. Study focuses on drinking water demand and supply status for consumptive and productive uses, type of infrastructure in place, operation and maintenance arrangements, and institutional roles in development and management of infrastructure. The impact of a watershed development programme on drinking water sources in watershed villages and peripheral villages is a complex phenomenon. A study of a watershed development model from differing physical and socio-economic frameworks reveals the variability in the nature and degrees of impacts of watershed development on drinking water regimes from various agro-climatic regimes of India. The drinking water supply in rural India cannot be looked at in isolation. There are vital and multifaceted links of water resources with the socio-economic situation of community, ecosystem health including the crucial role of agriculture, political, institutional and administrative environments and most significantly in the changes in water utilization over a period of time. In most of present watershed development programmes and drinking water supply projects in India, there is absence of proper assessment of this extremely critical issue. It is essential to follow the systems approach in an integrated manner for sustainable rural drinking water supply.
