Water is the ‘Elixir of life’. It is indispensable to all life on this earth. Although 75% of our planet is water only. 1% of the earth’s water is fit for human consumption. More than half our world’s fresh water resources are over exploited and polluted in spite of many laws and regulations, particularly in India.

Growing population and rampant industrialisation has put an irretrievable pressure on natural water resources. Hence it is necessary for all to conserve water resources so that the world may not face a water crisis. Moreover we have to preserve our water resources and prevent its pollution so that we have access to clean and safe water for our daily use. To conserve our water resources everyone should be made aware of water management.
