Water is elixir for life on earth. The human civilization initiated and thrived along the water courses. Out of the total water resources in Earth, only 3% is fresh, of which 1% remans in rivers, lakes and swamps, while 30% remains below the surface as ground water. The remaining 69% is locked as glacier and ice cap. India accounts for 18% of world population but holds only 4% of global freshwater resources. Agriculture consumes 78% of total water withdrawal, 8% goes to industry and power, while the remaining 6% is consumed by domestic sector. For sustainable management of water resource, we must relook and reorient the existing practices and governess policies in India.

“Clean water for all, forever”

Effective and judicious management calls for innovations in water sector, application of advanced technologies, capacity building and empowering of all stakeholders, encouraging innovative investment in water sector etc. This prompted MRIIRS to set up the Manav Rachna Centre for Advanced Water Technology and Management with the objectives to aid in effective and sustainable management of India’s water resources through innovation, capacity building and outreach programs.
Manav Rachna Centre for Advance Water Technology & Management (MRCAWTM) was established in 2017 to pursue teaching, research, consultancy and impart training programs in hydrogeology, water resources engineering and management, water quality and collateral environment and ecology issues.
