Control strategy for water management in India is slow. Cities are considered as major sources of pollution. It may be the Yamuna in Delhi or the Ganga in Kanpur. Both the sacred rivers are badly polluted. Sewerage regulation hardly keeps control over industrial waste discharge. Although the water prevention and control of pollution act in force since 1974 but still the role of this Act needs BHAGIRAT TAPAYSA. No doubt, the importance of water conservation is a landmark achievement of the Act. Every drop of water used in the industry is levied. The industry has become cautious of the wasteful use of water and realized the recycling process as an integrated concept while planning water use. Less water means less wastewater and this in term requires lesser volume of the rector vessels for treatment, all this would inevitably lead to economy. In order to avoid establishment of new industries without pollution, the licensing procedures and subsequent follow-up action need to be streamlined. While setting up any new industry, environment impact assessment should be made more effective for making correct decisions regarding possible negative impact and nature and extent of abatement technology required for migrating ill-effects of pollution and possible Eco-degradation. Similarly, in urban sector, a proper land use plan will have to be evolved and adopted for containing the stress of environmental pollution on resident population.
