A small notice to my 15000+ followers in my earlier WordPress blog: I was using a free domain in WordPress of which the allowed space has been exceeded. Also the no. of followers which is permitted for a free domain has crossed it’s limit within just 25 days from its commencement! So I have no other option but to buy a custom domain of unlimited storage. Though I spend Rs 3200/ to purchase this domain, be happy to know this new website too will be always free for you people! I consider this website to as a small tribute to my society. This work gives me an immense mental satisfaction that I too can deliver some facilities to my nation, especially those who lacks proper Coaching and guidance due to monetary stigma. What you have to do is: you have to subscribe through your email ID again as the earlier Website will no longer be available.Be focused in your goal. Jay Hind!

Water Security in India

debaratim Science & Tech Articles synopsis, Science & Technology, Study Materials , , , , ,
  1. Water Security is said to exist when all people of the country have access to water in sufficient quantity and quality to meet  livelihood needs throughout the year, without prejudicing the needs of other users.
  2. affecting global economic development and the livelihoods of the poor.
  3. Poor people suffer the most when resources are scarce.
  4. India accounts for 2.45% of land area and 4% of the water resources of the world population. With the present population growth rate (1.9 per cent per year), the population is expected to cross the 1.5 billion mark by 2050.
  5. The United Nations Human Development Report 2006 “Beyond scarcity: Power, poverty and the global water crisis” identified water availability per person (supply) was decreasing, while at the same time the amount of water that each person was using (demand) was increasing.
  6. low agricultural water productivity and efficiency, combined with aging supply infrastructure, would make severe supply-demand gaps likely in many basins with currently planned crop choices.
  7. India is one of the world’s leading crop producers. Over the years, there has been an increase in water consumption in the agricultural sector. The volume of water used for irrigation in India is expected to increase in by 68.5 Trillion (Tr) liters between 2000 and 2025.(Also due to the attributes needed for Green Revolution and BGREI)
  8. Unless local and national communities come together and dramatically  improve the way we envision and manage water, there will be many hungry villages and degraded environments and the economic development of the country will be put at risk. Stakeholders that include farmers, industries, policy makers, administrators, non government organizations, etc.  will need to come together to formulate an integrated road map towards water resource security in India. Some resolution in this road map may require potentially unpopular policy changes and the adoption of water saving techniques and technologies The dialogue needed amongst stakeholders, then, is about India’s economic and social priorities and the challenges that are worth  tackling  to deliver or achieve water security, when every child in India would have easy access to water of the right quality, in the right quantity and at the right place.
