Among the different component of natural environment, water is the most important component. Adequate supply of the safe water is essential for maintaining the health and sanitary conditions. Not only this, water as the natural resource has influence on almost every aspect of the development. Many people in the developing world are unable to get enough water to meet their basic requirement for drinking or other essential purpose. India is considered rich in terms of annual rainfall and total water available at the national level; however, the uneven distribution of the resource cause regional and temporal shortage of water. The rapid increase in the country’s population, from about 343 million at the time of independence to over 1000 million in 2000, accompanied by the growth of agriculture, industrialisation, rapid urbanisation, economic growth and improved access to the basic services has resulted in an increase in the demand of water. The widening gap between the demand and supply has led to a substantial increase in the share of ground water consumption by the industrial, agricultural and domestic sectors. Sporadic urbanisation is mainly responsible for the inadequate supply of the portable water. Most of the cities in India is depend on the monsoon. Therefore uncertainty or delay in the monsoon create adequate water crisis in Indian metro every year. Proper and efficient water supply is necessary to solve the problem. The purpose of the sustainable water management is simply to manage our water resources while taking into account the needs of present and future user.
