The Role Of Water Resource Management In Agriculture Sustainability

No life on earth can exit without water scientist estimate that there is over 1 billion cubic kilometer of water on this earth. Which covers nearly 3 /4 of the earths surface in the form of oceans , rivers, lacks, snow ,glaciers and groundwater. Through the same and inordinately huge amount in actual fact less than 1% is fresh and usable found in lacks, pounds, rivers and groundwater. Of the remaining 97% found in ocean and 2% is locked up in glaciers and ice caps .only one percent is available for use. Water is natural resource fundamental to life, livehood food security and agriculture development. It is also scarce resource. India has pure than 17% words population but has only four percent of world's land area . As per percent estimate India receiver on average annual prescription of about 4000 Billion cubic metre (BCM )which is its basic water resource . out of this after consider the natural evaporation transportation only about 1869 billion cubic metres is average annual natural flow through rivers and aquifers. Due to l spatio- temporal variation and estimated 690 BCM of surface water in utilization. Water is most important for life for, climate, for agriculture, for industry, for power generation, for scarcity and water management. In the agriculture field without water we can't image the development in agriculture. Food cannot be i culture is the without water vegetables are 80 to 90%, milk about 87%. Agriculture is the major consumer of water in India so the role of water management is very important in agriculture sustainability
