Water Scarcity
Water scarcity is a condition when there are insufficient freshwater resources
to meet the human and environmental demands of a given area.

Water Scarcity: Availability of Fresh Water
2 Litres
= 100% of Water
12 Spoons = 2.5%
of Fresh Water
97.5% Left Water
= Salt Water
- =

Water Scarcity: Availability of Fresh Water
9 Spoons 2 Spoons 1/2 Spoons 1 Drop
97.5% of the total volume of the world’s water is estimated
to exist as oceans and only 2.5% as fresh water
Distribution of fresh water
Icecaps Groundwater Fresh water lakesRivers

Water Scarcity: Uneven Distribution of Water
Western India: Thar Desert gets
very low rainfall
North-Eastern India: Mawsynramis
the wettest place in India

Causes of Water Scarcity: Quantitative and
Qualitative Aspects
Growing Population
Agriculture Expanded
Growth of Industry
Quantitative:Water Table going down
Qualitative: Increase in Salinity
More Food
More Irrigation
Quantitative :Water Table going

Qualitative :Water Pollution
Urbanisation and Industrialisation
More domestic and industrial use

Need of the Hour: Dealing with Water Scarcity
Grow: Drought Resistant Crops
E.g.: Pearl Millet or Bajra
Treat:Wastewater

Need of the Hour: Jal Jeevan Mission
•Government of India has initiated the Jal Jeevan Mission.
•This to improve quality of life in rural areas.
•The goal is to provide potable piped water at a service level of 55
litres per capita per day on a long term basis to ensure functionality
of tap water connections.

What are dams?
A dam is a barrier across flowing water to obstruct, direct or hamper its flow
by often creating a reservoir, lake, or impoundment. Most dams have a
section called a spillway or weir over which water will flow through-
continuously or intermediately.

Classification of Dams: Structure and Material
Timber Dams Embankment Dams Masonry Dams
(Primarily
made of wood)
(made of naturally
available soil and rock)
(made of stone and
brick)

Classification of Dams: Height
Low Dams Medium Dams High Dams

Hydraulic Structures in Ancient India
❖In the earlier days, they built traditionally to built to impound rivers and
rainwater, that could be used to irrigate agricultural fields.
❖In the first century B.C, Sringaverapuranear Allahabad, had sophisticated
water harvesting system channelling the flood water.
❖During the time of Chandragupta Maurya, dams, lakes and irrigation
system were extensively built.
❖Evidences of sophisticated irrigation works have been found in
Kalinga(Odhisha), Bennur(Karnataka) and in Kolhapur (Maharashtra)
❖In the 14
th
Century, the tank in Hauz Khaz, Delhi was built by Iltumishfor
supplying water to Siri Fort Area.

Important Dams of India
Sutlej Beas River Project
(Feeds water into Indira Gandhi Canal)
Transformed the landscape and lives of
inhabitants along Jaiselmer, Bikaner,
Jodhpur etc.
Mahanadi river​

Environmental Impacts of Dams​
Disruption of flow causes
excessive sedimentation​
Sediments are rich in
nutrients
Rockier beds cause poor
habitat for the aquatics​
Excessive sedimentation on
one side results in rockier beds
on the other side​
Excessive Sedimentation
Poor habitat for aquatic life
Rockier Stream Bed

Environmental Impacts of Dams​
Loss in soil fertility ​Impoundment causes
loss of vegetation
and soil​
Improper release of
water from flood
gates can cause
floods.​
Can cause
earthquakes​
Loss in
soil
fertility ​
Impoundment

Mass displacement of people as
more area is required to construct
the reservoir​
Unequal access to the dam's water
as at times the water is not properly
channelled. ​
Social Impacts of Dams​

Inter-State water disputes
Example-Objection raised by
Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh
govt on Maharashtra
Change in cropping pattern
Results in increase in salinity and
makes the soil infertile.
Social Impacts of Dams​
Inter-State water disputes​

Intensive and
Commercial Cropping

Narmada BachaoAndolan
❖Sardar Sarovar dam has been built over the Narmada River, Gujarat.
❖One of the largest river projects encompassing 4 states-Gujarat,
Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
❖Narmada BachaoAndolanis a NGO which mobilised tribals, farmers,
environmentalists and activities against the environmental issues that
would arise on building the dam.
❖It has recently refocused it’s aim to enable poor citizens and displaced
people to get rehabilitation.

What is Rainwater Harvesting​
Rainwater harvesting is the collection and storage of rainwater that runs off
from rooftops, parks, roads, and open grounds.​

What is Rainwater Harvesting​
❖Water harvesting system seemed like a viable alternative to multipurpose
river projects-socio economically and environmentally.
❖Ancient India also had an extraordinary tradition of harvesting systems.
❖People had in depth understanding of rainfall patterns, soil types, and
developed a wide range of techniques to harvest rainwater, groundwater
and river water.

Rooftop rainwater harvesting​ Tankas​
Types of Rainwater Harvesting Systems​
Rooftop rainwater harvesting.​

Rooftop rainwater harvesting​
•Rainwater accumulated at the roofs is
collected using pipes.
•Filtered out using sands and bricks.
•PVC pipes takes to an underground tank for
immediate usage.
•Water from first rain is not collected to
cleanse the pipes and tanks
•Water stored from the tank can be used for
various household activities
•Mainly practiced in arid and semi arid
regions like Rajasthan
Types of Rainwater Harvesting Systems​
Rooftop rainwater harvesting.​

Rooftop rainwater harvesting​
•This is a most common practice in
Meghalaya and Shillong.
•Successfully adapted in remote backward
villages in Mysuru, Karnataka
•Tamil Nadu is the first state in India has
made rooftop rainwater compulsory to all
the houses across the state

Types of Rainwater Harvesting Systems​
Tankas​
•In Rajasthan, there are underground tanks
or Tankas for storing drinking water.
•They were part of the rooftop rainwater
harvesting and were built inside the main
house.
•Makes it an extremely reliable source of
drinking water.
•It was considered to be the natural water or
purest form of water-“ PalarPani”

Fortunately, in many parts of rural and urban India, different methods of rooftop
rainwater harvesting has always been adapted. The modern adaptations of
rainwater harvesting include:
•Meghalaya:Using bamboo pipes, spring and stream water is tapped in
Meghalaya. This system is over 200 years old. ​
•Gendathur: In Gendathura remote village in the Mysore district of
Karnataka rooftop rainwater harvesting system was installed in around 200
houses. Around 1 lakh litersof rainwater is harvested annually from 20 houses in
this village.​
•Rajasthan: To store drinking water, ‘Rooftop rainwater harvesting’ is
commonly practiced. For storing drinking water, all the houses have tankas or
underground tanks in Balmer, Phalodi, and Bikaner regions of Rajasthan.​
