Water is a crucial resource for the economic and social development, and its depletion poses significant challenges. A major portion of India is facing high levels of water stress and rapid depletion of groundwater reserves, impacts millions of people. This paper proposes a roadmap for sustainable water resource management in India through an integrated approach, considering water supply and wastewater systems, and highlighting the significant role of civil engineers in balancing cost, risk, and performance. The framework provides guidance for planning, functions, and interactions with flexibility for varied conditions. The study emphasizes need for a wholesome approach to water resources management and highlights the variables that influence the effectiveness. The proposed framework can aid water resource managers and policymakers to make informed sustainable decisions, contributing to improved practices in India. |
