To make water management more effective in India, it is necessary to understand the various dimensions of water and work on commercial, social and technical aspects of water management. Citing this members of the Indian Water Works Association (IWWA) Indore discussed various aspects and quoted possibilities in an online discussion with young engineers.
Water management expert Sudhindra Mohan Sharma- (Former National Nodal Officer, Drinking Water Safety, Government of India) said, “There are employment opportunities in various sectors like NGOs, Free Lansing Consultants, Private and Government Jobs, Facilitators, Start-ups etc.” He added that water has to be managed in its water cycle because it cannot be created, it can only change its form, shape and size, but it cannot be created.
