WATER SCARCITY AND THE NEED FOR WATER
MANAGEMENT
CONSERVATION AND
Given the abundance and renewability of water, it is difficult to imagine
that we may suffer from water scarcity. The moment we speak of water
shortages, we immediatelyassociate it with regions having low rainfall or those
that are drought prone. We instantaneously visualise the deserts of Rajasthan
and women balancing many'matkas ' (earthen pots) used for collecting and
storing water and travelling long distances to get water. True, the availability of
water resources varies over space and time, mainly due to the variations in
seasonal and annual precipitation, but water seareity in most cases is caused by
over- exploitation, excessive use and unequal access to water among different
social groups Where is then water searcity likely to occur? As you have read in
the hydrologieal eyele, freshwater ean be obtained direetly from precipitation,
surface run off and groundwater.Is it possible that an area or region may have
ample water resources but is still facing water searcity? Many of our cities are
such examples. Thus,water scarcity may be an outeome of large and growing
population and consequent greater demands for water, and unequal access to it.
