No single compilation on water can ever do complete justice to the varied aspects of this magical, critical yet often misunderstood and mistreated valuable resource. This compilation is an attempt by those involved in its creation to pay homage to, and highlight several key challenges involving water, and more importantly addressing these. What emerges is that the crisis is largely due to mismanagement rather can actual shortage of water, and that it is possible to reverse the trend. Reversing the trend - Celebrate water - Uphold principles of equity, rights and sustainability; - Inform and involve people; - Learn from case studies and bio-mimicry; - Achieve breakthroughs through technology; - Harvest rain and scale up artificial recharge; - Bring efficiency in water use for agricultural production and urban supply and consumption; - Be a water conscious and responsible industry; - Stretch water use through multiple use of every drop; - Create an enabling environment that nurtures innovation.
