Water: Problem and Its Management

This book, as its title indicates, discusses, albeit briefly, water problem and its management. Earlier we used to think that there is enough water for use, and even for squandering, for all times to come. This is, the wise heads tell us now, a towering absurdity. Water – freshwater, to be precise – is not an inexhaustible resource. It has a limit; and if we use if foolishly and carelessly, there could be possibility of acute water shortage in not-too-distant a future. And that means death of everything that lives on water. It is high time that we hear the alarm bells and check the rot before it checks us out. But, how do we do this? This small book provides answer to this big question with the help of internationally known water authorities like Dr. Vandana Shiva, Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer, Prof. A. Vaidyanathan, Ms. Maude Barlow, Sh. B.S. Bhawani Shankar, Sh. Ramesh Joshi and Sh. Viv Singh. The book is volume 1 in the WEHAB (Water, Energy, Health, Agriculture and Biodiversity) Series.
