Better irrigation techniques,including drip irrigation system developed by Israel has to be adopted.
Major area of concern is the high rise apartments in urban areas where they use water in enormous quantity( where there was one house previously has, now more than 48 to 50 house holds).They drill even 200 feet in metros to get water, as water table has gone down.This has to be checked.
Granting permission for multinational soft drinks companies has also contributed for water level being depleted.To augment ground water resources, rain water harvesting has to be encouraged,tanks in every village must be destilted and cleaned,delta regions of rivers must be deepened,sand quarrying from riverbeds must be checked.
Check dams need to be built to preserve water from rivers, as the water goes awaste into the sea.
For drinking water in metros where ever feasible ocean water must be made potable by reverse osmosis process.

Depletion of Water resources by Corporations.
Whether it be Cocoa Cola or Nestle they believe in profits by sucking the blood of consumers and the community, by depleting water resources.In Indian State of Kerala, local went hammer and tongs and have gone against Cocoa Cola for depleting water table by drawing massive quantities of water.Case is pending in court.Unfortunately, politicians ,for a few pieces of silver pledge Natural Resources to multi nationals.Locals have not stopped with case.They have resorted to blocking workers attending work and the pace of drawing later has slowed down.It still is not over.If justice is delayed, no harm in taking direct action.Is this reinforcing the prediction that the next war will be for water?
