Introduction of Conference Topic

  • Water has its role in everyone’s life. It connects living world with non -living things.  All the rivers are fed by basins and their life depends on sustainability of basin ecosystems and their hydrology. Perhaps continual supply of clean water for human uses and for other living things refers to the sufficient availability of water into the better future development. The water availability is a major component for fare agricultural production; water quality affects both, the human health and crop development. The present climatic conditions are extremely variable causing various disasters affecting daily human life and, urban and Agricultural Activities. The present climate change scenario is basically due to human activities for better life. Now It has become necessary to take various adoptive and creative actions to sustain the life on earth. The various models, IT tools, Database management tools, Risk management action are necessary to be adopted. Water is at the core of sustainable development and is critical for socio-economic development, healthy ecosystems and for human survival itself. It is vital for reducing the global burden of disease and improving the health, welfare and productivity of populations.
