Abstract: To all forms of life on earth, water is vital, as from the simplest of living organisms to the most complex of human systems. In India, the surface water and ground water resources play significant roles in agriculture, forestry, fisheries, livestock production and industrial activity. Lack of water for drinking, for use in agriculture, industry, and for several other essential needs is a limiting factor perhaps the most important factor hindering development in many regions of India. In order to appropriately address the present and future water and food security, the Government of India (GoI) through the Central Water Community (CWC) has been implementing various measures. The inefficient management of the resource has led to deterioration in water quality, posing new challenges for water management and conservation. The favourable utility of water resources has to be included with development based and efficient management. There is a need of formulating a water management strategy along with the extension of available resources and integrated development carefully.
