| Tools & Techniques |
| Water management is a vast and complex subject, and we have divided it into practice areas as a way to organize the knowledge comprehensibly. Listed here are the best management practices crucial for both short term and long term sustainable use of water. We have collected, documented and developed case studies, slideshows, courses and movies for each practice. Along with that, there is an effort to bring together policies, research papers and reports relevant for each practice. |

Groundwater Management |
In rural India,
groundwater (GW) provides
approximately 85% of the water used
for domestic purposes, and more than
50% of that used for irrigation.
These statistics, however underplay
the larger role of groundwater
within both, natural resources and
socio-economic frameworks.
In this section, you will find
courses, policies, case studies and
research material related to the
recharge and sustainable use of
groundwater. |

Water Quality |
| Poor water
management has led to the pollution
of most surface and groundwater
resources in India. Chemical and
bacteriological contamination has
rendered most drinking water sources
unfit for consumption. In some
cases, groundwater naturally
contains high amounts of some
minerals that can be harmful if
consumed regularly.
This section contains courses,
movies, slideshows and casestudies
related to water quality and its
maintenance. |
