Abstract

The depleting amount of water resource is a major concern most of the major cities in the world are dealing with the problem of lack of clean fresh water, it is said to be the most severe problem of our generation. This condition is reached by continuous unchecked depletion of fresh water and lack of recharge which will make the effect irreversible eventually. Like the unchecked use of ground water and its slow recharge have lead to the permanent lowering of water table. This will have negative impact on environment on earth. It is said that almost one third of the world population is living in water scarcity for a period of not less than month . Apart from the problem of availability of water there is problem of availability of clean water, most of the developing countries are facing this problem .
