It is the fact that WATER is the most precious natural resource which laterally control everything on this universe.
The situation of water in Jharkand is alarming and needs attention from the stakeholders with community solutions with sustainability. One such reflection is furnished below as:
.......................................................................
Drought hit – Jharkand’s water table falls three meters in one year. Feb 16-28, 2011:
This is the clear cut example of poor planning and implementation of water harvesting programmes (Drought hit – Jharkhand’s, Feb 16-28, 2011). Lack of advance need based assessment & planning, urbanization, non-scientific approaches and poor community participation has resulted for the fall of water table in the range of 2 to 9m. The situation is alarming and needs immediate action. The strategy like: geological / geophysical mapping, need based rainwater harvesting, development of surface water resources, community ownership with women participation, government support through various schemes and facilitation by the local NGOs certainly improves the water situation and thus results for sustainable development.
