2. • India faces a turbulent water future,
even though we have one of the worlds
largest fresh water reserves.
• Why? Infrastructure
• Find water- Extract Water- Purify
Water-Transport Water and Consume
Water in the most effective way.
• How? Infrastructure
• Unless water management practices
and water infrastructure are changed,
India will surely face a severe water
crisis within the next two decades.
• India will have neither the cash
reserves to build new infrastructure nor
the water needed by its growing
economy and rising population.

3. • Shortfalls in financing have led
to an enormous backlog of
maintenance.
• The implicit philosophy has
been aptly described as Build-
Neglect-Rebuild.
• Much of what currently
masquerades as "investment"
in irrigation or municipal water
supply is in fact a belated
attempt to rehabilitate
crumbling infrastructure.
• When infrastructure isn’t
present people take mater into
their own hand---indiscriminate
ground water pumping-----
Water Mafia
