India will face a huge water crisis by 2030 unless it brings about changes in the water management practices.

According to a report (2030 Water Resources Group), the ‘business as usual approach’ will increase the water shortage. Demand projections for India are that agriculture will continue to be major component of the total water demand and there will be increase in municipal and domestic water demand due to increasing population. Except for the North East and higher region in Jammu & Kashmir, India will have supply shortages.

India’s major river basins (Ganga, Indus, Cauvery), which support agricultural activities, are forecasted to face a water shortage due to environmental issues and poor water management strategies. The water demand and supply gap ranges between 20% to 80% in these river basins.
