Water Crisis in Rajasthan

In rural areas of women are spending increasing amounts of time and energy traveling long distances to get water. In some dry regions of Rajasthan, they spend as much as four hours a day and walk an average six km for water.

With the water crisis worsening in the desert state of Rajasthan , the state government is now focusing on community-based water management solutions instead of predominantly engineering-based ones. In its recently announced water policy, the state government has shifted its focus towards community- level empowerment and responsibility for water management under the umbrella process of Integrated Water Resources Management.
