Abstract
Water is life. Without water imagine nothing growing on earth. The surface of the earth with no water in it, would be lifeless, dead, collapsed into dust, sand, clay or rock. It is an essential part of any ecosystem; both in quantitative and qualitative terms, and reduced water quantity and quality both have serious negative impacts. It is fundamental for sustainable development and without water all living things is impossible. The present paper aims to find out the amicable solution of the Wangjing River catchment area that has many problems of social, cultural and environmental complexity as the river passes through villages of having different caste, creed and culture people settled along the river. The main objective of the study is to estimate surface and groundwater availability, present utilization and future demand for various purposes and finally to suggest water conservation measures for meeting the water deficit in the catchment area. A large part of the cultivable land in the state remains dry and adequate water for cultivation is missing for long gape. The available ground water is also scarce in these areas. A large part of land is under water during the rainy season and difficult to grow crops in these areas as there has been absence of farm canals and water regulatory norms for water sharing to the basin area. The river was perennial in nature, there was enough water for agriculture and other domestic uses, and moreover, there was no pollution in the water bodies, but today due to various anthropogenic causes in the catchment areas and river courses for sand quarry and other factors, the entire basin environment get disturbed. As a result, there is occurrence of scarcity of water for agriculture, drinking and other domestic purposes in the river basin. Based on the studies, certain water resources development schemes have been recommended for the basin with a view to optimally make use of water resources for maximizing the agricultural production and meeting other important needs.
