Abstract
Conjunctive use of surface water and ground water is a complex water management strategy that involves management of surface water and groundwater as one resource under diverse geological, hydro-geological, hydrology and geophysical setting. India has adopted this concept as management strategy since 1970s, but the progress of the same hasn't been encouraging as on date. The strategy has been a setback in Indian context, despite prioritizing 40 years ago, due to the limitations and lacunae of research and institutions. The paper identifies the causes and impediments that has slowed implementation of conjunctive use of surface and groundwater in India and recommends measures to reset its strategy in the 21 st century.
