摘要

Water scarcity is a critical issue in rural India. This paper discusses the management challenges that arise from such regions. Some of the actual causes of water scarcity include climate change, deforestation, and inefficient agriculture. It proposes a multi-faceted approach to address this issue. These strategies can enhance its water security, agricultural productivity, and sustainable development. In fact, policy support and public–private partnerships provide the very basis for obtaining optimal solutions in water management. This research—from participatory rural appraisal methods applied in co-designing with villagers to resource mapping—explores a community-centric approach toward implementing an RO filtration system, thereby addressing the problems of waste management in holistic strategies to further improve the community’s access to water.
