How can development take place in an equitable and balanced manner?
India’s development hinges on equitable progress across all regions, with a focus on integrating resources sustainably. The Ganga and Brahmaputra basins, covering over 60% of India’s landmass, play a pivotal role. Considered a single hydrological system, they demand transboundary cooperation for water security. Despite abundant precipitation, only a fraction is available for use, emphasizing the need for sustainable surface water development. The Brahmaputra basin, despite its smaller size, boasts the highest water resources potential. However, challenges like water stress and groundwater depletion afflict basins like Sabarmati, highlighting the urgency of holistic and sustainable resource management for India’s future.
