Abstract:
Water is Earth’s most precious and critical resource. Throughout history, it has played a crucial role in the origin, well-being, and progress of civilizations. A basic need at the individual level, water is equally essential for society and the economy to thrive. Whether it is ensuring security of food supply, freedom from ailment, or smooth operation of industrial activities, water is a necessity in each case. A lifesustaining element, it is deeply embedded in the Indian ethos. After all, India derived its name from the great River Indus.
