Introduction to Water Resources

P.K. Chatterjee

Working Papers from eSocialSciences

Abstract: Water resources have increasingly come under pressure of late due to competing and ever increasing demands from different sectors. What is often said that future wars will be fought for water, seems prophetic, given the depleting water resource endowment both in quality and quantity. That the groundwater resource in the country is the most stressed in the world, drives us to think of alternatives to water management. As we all know, understanding of technical aspects of water resources is essential to appreciate the limits to exploitation and technological options for judicious use of the resource.
