Water scarcity in India, causes and possible remedial measures
Published on by Yogesh Agrawal, Director (retired), Minor irrigation schemes, Water Resources Department at Govt of Rajasthan in Government
Mining activities, deep tube wells for agriculture , industrial and domestic uses and use of water in agriculture sector with water use efficiency less than 50% are causing water scarcity in India. Rivers, their tributaries and local nalla etc are being adversely affected by construction and development activities by the governments. These are causing less flow of water in village ponds and dams. I have written an article titled “PRESERVATION OF WATER RESOURCES AND THEIR UTILIZATION” available freely at https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7OEEuzHbopKUWRSQ3JCTUR6dWM for taking steps to improve the situation of water scarcity.
