About WAC '09
Water use efficiency includes any measure that reduces the amount of water used per unit of any given activity, consistent with the maintenance or enhancement of water quality.
Water use efficiency has a clear role to play in sustainable development, in other words, the use of the earth's resources by today's inhabitants while assuring that future generations have sufficient capacity to meet their own needs. Improving the efficiency of resource use comprises one means of meeting sustainable development goals.

Guest Post by Sangeeta Deogawanka
For a GIS zealot like me, this is breaking news on the Indian mapping front. Finally a GIS application for risk-mapping and management of floods in India!
The Flood Risk Mapping Study, funded by the Water Resources wing of the Public Works Department to a tune of Rs 2,17 crores, is an initiative of the Tamil Nadu State Government. It is supported by the Centre's Department of Science and Technology and Survey of India in the research component of the project. This one-year project is being handled by Anna University’s Institute of Remote Sensing (IRS), Chennai.

Arghyam is looking for a Technology Project Manager
Thinking about giving back to society? Looking for an opportunity to do something meaningful and use your skills and experience to contribute to the lives of the disadvantaged? Come and join a small team of like-minded individuals working together with people and groups across the country on the issue of water.
Everyday more than 1000 children die of preventable, water related diseases in India. At least 30 million people don’t have access to safe drinking water in urban India, and 40 million live in slums without adequate sanitation facilities. And the situation is only going to worsen. Water is likened to oil, only much more central to our very lives and well-being. Globally, it is increasingly being seen as the burning issue of this century.
