Abstract
Water resources management impacts almost all facets of the economy. Water is also the primary medium through which climate change influences the earth’s ecosystem and therefore people. Water stress is already critical, particularly in most of the developing countries, and improved management is essential for sustainable management of this resource. Recognition of the centrality of water in the development process has not yet permeated the political and policy echelons in most of the countries of the world and in India too it is not reflected adequately in national plans. To shape our water future – there should be a coherent approach involving science and technology, policy initiatives and community participation.
