It considers both the quantity of available water and its quality for its intended uses. Aquatic resources also encompass the linkage between fresh water systems and the downstream coastal areas into which it drains, where it sustains biologically rich and commercially important coast as ecosystems. This chapter highlights the aquatic resources of Udaipur City, and the study is based on secondary data collected from various government and nongovernment organizations.
