Ground water resources are receiving global attention, as human
population growth and development cause significant changes to the
earth system. It plays a major role in ensuring livelihood security
in many parts of South Asia and its contribution to poverty
alleviation is substantial. The complex nature of ground water
problems in the Indian Sub-continent requires a precise delineation
of the ground water regimes in different hydro geological settings
and socio-economic conditions and is a primary necessity for
sustainable and equitable management. Strategies to respond to
ground water over-exploitation and deteriorating water quality must
be based on a new approach. Practical policies and various solution
options urgently need to be formulated and implemented to prevent
the development problems. There is pressing need to evolve workable
methods and approaches based on modern scientific researches on
ground water resources, as well as to build a social framework
including community participation at all levels for a ground water
development system. The community participation in water pumping
policies, incentives of efficient use, affordability of low income
users and other vulnerable groups, water awareness are prime
factors for success of any ground water based water supply project.
