Water Managment Challenges to Sustainability of Agriculture in Pondichery
Journal Title: Research Journal of Philosophy & Social Sciences - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
While water holds the key for food production and agriculture perhaps is the major consumer of fresh water, sustainability of agricultural development greatly depends upon timely reliable and sufficient supply of water for cultivation. Contradictorily, evidences from various studies indicate a steady decline in the availability of fresh water for agriculture not only due to the competing demands for multiple uses of water, but also due to environmental pollution and water resource despoliation. In the backdrop of ongoing urbanization coupled with increasing water scarcity in Pondicherry, this paper investigates into the question of sustainability of agricultural development in this region. Locating the enquiry into the management of surface and groundwater resources, this paper attempts to delineate the impediments, issues and implications in water resource management for sustainability of agriculture in Pondicherry.
