Water is a basic need for human society being required for drinking, bathing, washing, irrigation, industry, cooling, construction work, disposal of sewage and industrial effeuents. Agriculture consumes the maximum amount of water, some 70% of total. Industry requires 26% of water. Domestic and municipal consumption of water accounts for only 1.1%. Because of rising population, increasing urbanization, growing industrialization, rising standards of living, the demand for water is increasing day by day.<\/p>\n

\nA large number tribals, peasants and other villagers are displaced. Provision of adequate compensation and rehabilitation measures are not made.<\/li>\n
\nA huge amount running into thousands of crores is spent on building large sized dams. They do not generate proportionate benefits.<\/li>\n
\nThere is enormous deforestation and loss of biodiversity.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\nWater harvesting is capturing, collection and storage of rain water and surface run off for filling either small water bodies or recharging ground water so that water continuous to available in nonrainy seasons. Water harvesting has been an age old concept in India. The techniques used are highly region specific.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
