India’s water crisis defies a single easy solution. While there is fierce debate, there is also broad agreement that demand must be contained, particularly in agriculture, and supply increased.
Water conservation, management and disciplined use with commitment.
Possible Solutions:
ü Water management should be decentralized and local communities encouraged to manage their own water resources, rather than leaving it all to government.
ü Everyone who uses water should pay for it.
ü Those who pollute and overexploit the water should be strictly punished.
ü India should turn into more water-efficient crops and treating and reusing wastewater. Farmers should to be encouraged to grow nutritious, water-efficient food grains, like sorghum and millet, and the government should pay fixed prices for them.
ü India’s flood plains should be preserved and not used for development.
ü The government should offer incentives for farmers to install far more efficient drip irrigation, and do away with subsidized electricity to discourage the overpumping of groundwater.
ü The private sector should be enlisted to improve water management in cities, making certain kinds of water, like drinking water more expensive than recycled water, which can be used for gardening and outdoor use.
Also, I came to my own conclusion, people and government should agree to select the best options available for India in order to solve its major problem. Water is vital for us all, so they must work together so India can succeed, because the problem of water (its scarcity) brings many problems including a partnership with health problems, illnesses and deaths. No water, no crops, no food for Indian people, neither to sell to other countries, then sales go down, etc. will have an big economic crisis. I think it’s like a chain of complications.
