NEED OF RIVER REJUVENATION IN INDIA

India today is desperately in need of answers to resolve its water crisis. The country faces a critical challenge is improve the productivity of drinking fresh water. No socio-economic development or even political stability will ever be possible without ensuring uninterrupted supply of quality potable water. It is therefore clear that river rejuvenation will need to be distributed across the country. In other words, we will need to capture rain water, where it falls, over vast parts of the country so that we can provide local water security and recharge every well. Present study examines the presence of water resources in India from two perspectives: pollution in the river basins and need of river rejuvenation work implemented in India. This is based on river rejuvenation needed in India and water resources affected by dumping many sources and types of pollutions in River basins.
