Water Resource Management

Why it matters

• Ensures food security by maintaining reliable irrigation systems for agricultural productivity.
• Mitigates the impact of climate-induced hydrological extremes such as droughts and floods.
• Promotes public health through the provision of clean drinking water and effective sanitation infrastructure.
• Balances competing demands between industrial growth and ecological preservation.

How it is asked

Focus on the shift from supply-side management to demand-side management, the role of integrated water resources management (IWRM) frameworks, and the constitutional division of powers between central and state governments regarding water governance.
