Abstract

Abstract With a geographic area of 3.29 million square km, India is an important country of Asia. India is bounded by snow capped Himalayas mountain chain in the North and has Indian Ocean in the south. The country has large variations in climate: at some places summer temperature can go up to 47°C while the temperature can go below −40° C at some places in Himalayas. Most of the precipitation is received through southwest and northeast monsoons. About 80–90% of precipitation is received through southwest monsoon during the months of June to September. Such a skewed temporal distribution of water availability makes it necessary to adopt water conservation measures on a large scale. The population and industrial activities in India are growing rapidly and due to this, sustainable water resources management is a challenging task in India.
