Part 11/13:
Implement Efficient Water Management: Rainwater harvesting, modern irrigation techniques like bed-seeding for rice, and decontaminating groundwater could help conserve resources.
Pricing and Regulation: Introducing appropriate water tariffs could incentivize conservation among farmers and urban consumers. Currently, subsidized or free water supplies lead to wastage.
Restoring and Maintaining Infrastructure: Upgrading reservoirs, sewage treatment, and canal systems can improve water availability and quality.
Conservation and Policy Changes: Recognizing groundwater depletion as a national emergency and strengthening policies to protect rivers and ecosystems are vital.
