3. Water and Agriculture Sector Growth
Water as a most critical resource for agriculture.
High volatility in agriculture production due to dependence on monsoon.
Productivity of Irrigated area is far more higher as compare to rain-fed areas.
Efficient use of water through micro irrigation
Drip System
Sprinkler System.
Government initiatives
Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY
Har Khet Ko Pani
More Crop Per Drop

4. Water and Industrial Sector Growth
Sources of Water for Industrial Sector
Ground-Water (35%)
Surface Water (41%)
Municipal Water (24%)
Industrial water demand has been increasing with the pace of industrial development.
Water demand in industrial sector
About 13 per cent of the total freshwater withdrawal in the country.
Will grow at a rate of 4.2 per cent per year.
Rising from 67 billion cubic metres in 1999 to 228 billion cubic metres by 2025.
Industries not only consume water but also pollute it. According to the World Development Report (WDR) of 2003, in developing countries, 70 per cent of industrial wastes are dumped without treatment, thereby polluting the usable water supply.

5. Water as an Economic Good
The term water “as an economic good” originated in the Dublin Conference (ICWE 1992).
Water is not only economic good but a public good too in India which requires some amount of extra-market management to effectively and efficiently serve social objectives.
The effective and sustainable management of water resources will lead to economic growth,
Sustainable growth in agriculture
And industrial sector.
It also has significant contribution in improving quality of life, health condition, education standards and so on.

10. Rationale behind Water Management Index
The variation in the availability of water resources
Among the states
And surface and ground water resources.
Rapid increase in population and urbanization.
NITI Aayog has framed an index called Water Management Index which may develop the competitive federalism among the states in conservation, management and efficient use of water.
Index will serve the purpose of tracking performance and taking corrective measures to conserve water resources.
