The dependence on ground water as a reliable source for meeting requirements for irrigation, drinking and industrial uses in India has been rising rapidly during last few years. Ground water development has occupied an important place in water management in India. In some parts of country has reached at a critical stage, resulting acute shortage of water. Overdevelopment of the ground resources has resulted in declining of level of ground water, shortage in water supply, increasing salinity of ground water. Worsening ground water quality has also adversely affected the availability of fresh ground water in some areas.
“Water is life's mater and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.” Albert Szent. Unless we take quick action to save water, this ‘elixir of life’ will change to muddy swamps and no longer be there to support human life anymore. We should NOT be saying like the Ancient Mariner of Coleridge- Water, water, everywhere, Not any drop to drink.
