Comprehensive Water Policy-Need of the Hour - M. Devaraj

The papers presented in this Workshop address various water issues at the macro and nicrolevels. They call for both individual and collective action for the conservation of water resources. There is emphasis on the need to ensure water quality for sustained human use including replenishement of denuded forests and restoration of soil health. Large number of case histories have been cited providing moral lessons for emulation at the local levels so that such actions build up into a global movement for judicious water use and management.
