Abstract

Water conservation is essential in India’s arid and semi-arid regions, where water scarcity results from low rainfall, high evaporation, and excessive groundwater use. Traditional techniques like johads, tankas, and khadins aid in groundwater recharge, while modern methods such as rainwater harvesting and check dams enhance water availability. Integrating geospatial technologies helps in resource management. Sustainable water practices are vital for agriculture, climate re-silience, and ecological balance, requiring community participation and policy support.
