&lt;em&gt;The International Water Day serves as an annual reminder of the mess in management of water resources&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
In an intriguing order on 20 March, the Uttarakhand High Court has recognized the rivers Ganges and Yamuna as a living entity, which means that anybody found polluting the river would be seen as harming a human being. It remains to be seen what impact the order has but the order does reflect a sense of urgency in trying to rescue one of India&amp;rsquo;s most important rivers from rampant pollution.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
India&amp;rsquo;s water woes however do not end with the pathetic state of the Ganges. After two consecutive rainfall deficient years, 2016 saw normal monsoons in India. However, a look at reservoir levels shows that even a normal rainfall year is failing to sufficiently recharge our water bodies. Nowhere in the country are reservoir levels significantly more than half of their total capacity.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is even more worrying is the long-term trend: there seems to have been a secular decline in reservoir levels. Data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy shows that last 10 years&amp;rsquo; average live storage as percentage of live capacity at full reservoir level has fluctuated between 25-33% in this decade. Between 2001-02 and 2004-05 this value was always more than 60%. This seems to be a result of increasing exploitation of ground water. The rate of withdrawal of groundwater as a percentage of net groundwater available per year&amp;mdash;defined as level of ground water development&amp;mdash;has seen a sharp increase between 2004 and 2011. While states such as Gujarat and Tamil Nadu registered some improvement, traditional farming states such as Punjab and Haryana have witnessed rising exploitation of groundwater resources.&lt;br /&gt;

It remains to be seen what impact the order has but the order does reflect a sense of urgency in trying to rescue one of India&amp;rsquo;s most important rivers from rampant pollution.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;India&amp;rsquo;s water woes however do not end with the pathetic state of the Ganges. After two consecutive rainfall deficient years, 2016 saw normal monsoons in India. However, a look at reservoir levels shows that even a normal rainfall year is failing to sufficiently recharge our water bodies. Nowhere in the country are reservoir levels significantly more than half of their total capacity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is even more worrying is the long-term trend: there seems to have been a secular decline in reservoir levels. Data from the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy shows that last 10 years&amp;rsquo; average live storage as percentage of live capacity at full reservoir level has fluctuated between 25-33% in this decade. Between 2001-02 and 2004-05 this value was always more than 60%. This seems to be a result of increasing exploitation of ground water. The rate of withdrawal of groundwater as a percentage of net groundwater available per year&amp;mdash;defined as level of ground water development&amp;mdash;has seen a sharp increase between 2004 and 2011. While states such as Gujarat and Tamil Nadu registered some improvement, traditional farming states such as Punjab and Haryana have witnessed rising exploitation of groundwater resources.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/RUNqU2wgNOOVuaX7ZtRleK/Indias-water-governance-regime-is-crying-for-reforms.html&quot; title=&quot;http://www.livemint.com/Politics/RUNqU2wgNOOVuaX7ZtRleK/Indias-water-governance-regime-is-crying-for-reforms.html&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

India's water governance regime is crying for reforms -Roshan Kishore

-Livemint.com The International Water Day serves as an annual reminder of the mess in management of water resources In an intriguing order on 20 March, the Uttarakhand High Court has recognized the rivers Ganges and Yamuna as a living entity, which means that anybody found polluting the river would be seen as harming a human being.
