@India needs to map water to prepare for droughts and floods. Better Groundwater Governance Only Can Ensure Sustained Water Supply I have pleasure to inform all that I have authored a book entitled "Better Groundwater Governance Only Can Ensure Sustained Water Supply", published by Lambert Academic Publishing, Germany. (ISBN: 978-3-330-32219-6). The book has been released at the price of 49.90 € Euro on permanent links on morebooks.de, amazon.com, For water security point of view, I request all to give wide publicity about this book, because, I think public (including all stakeholders) by an large has taken water for granted. The book will be also very useful for students and researchers. Blurb: All countries are confronted with water scarcity of varying types. The daunting biggest challenge for the authorities is in protecting groundwater from depletion and pollution, and making sound managing decisions on complex issues/activities that may affect water supply at local and basin scale. For short-term situation management when water supplies are affected, the managers usually adopt approaches, which involve eliminating immediate, unacceptable impacts on human and the environment, groundwater-use restrictions, regulation, balancing time and resources. However, these may require more research, time, regulations, funding, technology, etc., and be expensive/complex. This book identifies the issues that affect water supply; and makes scientific endeavors to improve all stakeholders’ awareness and understanding of real groundwater problems, and suggests governance approaches by relevant policies, with strong peoples’ participation efforts by behavioral change. The analysis may be especially useful to professionals in water governance and communications for long-term solutions to ensure sustained water supply, reducing costs and implementing water resources protection strategies, for public benefit.

Hello my friend, you need not feel sorry. Please read my book.
Nice to know that the presentation seem to you totally idealistic.
If you read the book attentively, you will find that the book not only describes the issues, but also suggest real practical solutions, taking into consideration what you think as the only problem i.e., the rejection of wastewater into the environment without treatment, and also, by establishing very expensive and ineffective high-performance technologically advanced wastewater treatment infrastructure.
Better governance by a change in mental attitude and behavior of all the stakeholders is very essential through public awareness programs.

Hello I'm sorry, but this presentation is totally Utopian. It only describes an issue without making any real solutions.
What is the problem? Water consumption? Its use? But no we're away from all this.
Humans need water to live and he only is gene not to use it. Advances in technology of urban planning, health, food, appropriate water for a more comfortable life.
There - it enough water in reserve around the world? Yes it's not exhaust it.
The problem is elsewhere and I am surprised that no one make her stand out.
The problem is only in the rejection of the wastewater into the environment without him having previously purified see purified.
The Earth has a huge water regeneration system to make drinking water. Humans interfering on this process allows pollution in General to seep into the groundwater.
We soon reach when humans will build factories to clean up drinking water. But as he can't seem to clean up these own sewage I'm not sure of the effectiveness of the process that he put a in place.
The modern world by these ultra high-performance technological advances disempowers the man of the pollution it generates. Is not by building very expensive but ineffective infrastructure wastewater treatment that man will be interested in this problem even by writing a book. Environmentalists around the world draw attention to this issue. By participating in the governance environmentalists don't is not tackling this problem.
For 120 years now we suggests that wastewater management is ultra efficient. Off it provides no treatment of the pollution that it rejects in various forms in the environment, thus distorting the vision of this management.
The problem of drinking water is closely linked to the problem of wastewater management: its main source of pollution. As long as we don't if endeavoring not to solve this management of wastewater with a comprehensive and definitive real sewage solution, the problem will persist much longer
Bonjour Je suis désolé mais cette présentation est totalement utopique. Elle en fait que décrire une problématique sans apporter de solutions réelles.
Qu'en est il de la problématique? la consommation d'eau ? son usage? Mais non on est loin de tout ceci.
L'homme a besoin d'eau pour vivre et il ne se gène pas à l'utiliser. Les avancées technologiques d'urbanisme, de santé, alimentaires, s'appropient l'eau pour un meilleur confort de vie.
Y a t-il suffisamment d'eau en réserve de par le monde? Oui on est loin de l'épuiser.
La problématique est ailleurs et je suis étonné que personne ne la fasse ressortir.
La problématique tient uniquement dans le rejet de l'eau usagée dans l'environnement sans l'avoir au préalab le épurée voir purifiée.
La terre est équipée d'un énorme système de régénération de l'eau pour en faire de l'eau potable. L'homme en interférant sur ce processus peremet à la pollution en générale de s'infiltrer vers les réserves souterraines.
Nous arrivons bientôt ou l'homme devra constuire des usines de dépollutions de l'eau potable. Mais comme il n'arrive pas à dépolluer ces propres eaux usées je ne suis pas certains de l'efficacité des processus qu'il mettre a en place.
Le monde moderne par ces avancées technologiques ultra performantes déresponsabilise l'homme de la pollution qu'il génère. Ce n'est pas en constuisant des infrastructures très onéreuses mais inefficaces dans l'épuration que l'homme s'intéressera à cette problématique même en lui écrivant un livre. Les écologistes de par le monde attire l'attention sur cette problématique. En participant à la gouvernance les écologistes ne s'attelent pas à cette problématique. Depuis maintenant 120 ans on laisse croire à la population que la gestion des eaux usées est ultra preformante. Hors elle n'assure aucune épuration de la pollution qu'elle rejette sous diverses formes dans l'environnement, faussant ainsi la vision de cette gestion.
La problématique de l'eau potable est intimement liée à la problématique de la gesiton des eaux usées: sa principale source de pollution. Tant que l'on ne s'attèlera pas à résoudre cette gestion des eaux usées avec une solution globale, définitive d'une réelle épuration, la problématique persistera encore longtemps
