Abstract

Man is indiscriminately exploiting nature and natural resources. The main cause of most of the problems that man is facing today is that he is not making appropriate use of these resources in a scientific manner and is also not managing them properly. Water is the most valuable natural resource. A major part of the Earth is covered with water, but only 0.3% is clean potable water. The continuous depletion of water resources is leading to serious problems in the coming times, hence the need for an initiative for the conservation and management of water is important.
