The Seen and Unseen Consequences of India’s Growing Water Crisis


Context

  • The United Nations World Water Development Report 2022 (UN WWDR 2022) of UNESCO has encapsulated global concern about the sharp increase in freshwater withdrawal from streams, lakes, aquifers, and man-made reservoirs, impending water stress, and water scarcity being experienced in various parts of the world.
  • The report “Groundwater: Making the Invisible Visible” describes the global challenges and opportunities associated with groundwater development, management, and governance.
  • According to the report, groundwater accounts for 99 percent of all liquid freshwater on the planet. However, because this natural resource is poorly understood, it is undervalued, mismanaged, and even abused.
