4 responses to “The previous water policies primarily emphasised on the supply side, through the construction of reservoirs and dams. This draft policy focuses on improving efficiency and river restoration. That’s a paradigm shift. In light of this, discuss the major recommendations in the draft National Water Policy 2020. 10 marks”

Hi Zulu
Good intro.
In the way forward also mention that we need to redefine, rethink and recalibrate what we mean by Integrated Water Resource Management. The aspects of basin and sub basin planning has to be looked into for setting up realistic targets. Emphasis needs to be shifted towards participatory groundwater management to ensure sustainability and quality of water.
Good conclusion.
Underline keywords.
Keep writing.

Hi Bhupender
Good intro.
Refrain from lomg paragraphs, write in points.
Some good points but need to work on content.
Also mention that sustainability and resilience should be the key words in the management of problems like water shortage or excessive water availability. Another important aspect can be interlinking rivers to transfer water from surplus basins to deficient basins to balance out the water availability.
Work on presentation.
