India Water Week 2013: efficient water management - challenges and opportunities
Water is the harbinger and sustainer of all life on the planet especially the humankind. With the increasing demand by the growing population and improvement in economic status, the demands on the available resources are increasing and we have to constantly strive towards stretching the same water to satisfy larger needs. As a result, there is an urgency to conserve and utilize the limited availability of water resources in an optimum and efficient manner. In an effort to raise awareness, conserve and use water resources in an integrated manner, the Ministry of Water Resources, Government of India acknowledges the need to address various related issues and aspects locally, regionally, nationally and globally and hence will organize the India Water Week between April 8-12, 2013 to use it as a platform to elicit ideas and opinions from global level decision makers, politicians, researchers and entrepreneurs in the field of water resources for mutual benefit and goodwill.
