From over 6000 cubic meters per person in 1947, it is projected to drop to less than 1150 cubic meters by 2050, a level deemed insufficient for healthy living by the World Health Organization. As the global population is expected to surpass 9 billion by 2050, water scarcity could escalate into a global crisis, leading to crop failures, ecosystem breakdowns, and industrial collapse. In India, the majority of the population depends on groundwater, which is rapidly depleting across the country. Rivers are drying up, fertile lands are becoming deserts, and the effects of global warming exacerbate the situation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book seeks to raise scientific awareness about water habitats, its global distribution, and the importance of groundwater, rivers, and surface water. It introduces concepts like groundwater recharge, water regeneration through greenhouses, desalination techniques, and modern methods of freshwater production. The book also covers the emerging concept of the ‘water footprint’ of crops and commodities, encouraging individuals to contribute to rational water utilization decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eContents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Reverence for Water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin of Fresh Water on Earth and its Habitats\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGlobal Distribution of Water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGround Water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater in Indian Rivers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProperties of Water\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesalination of Sea Water for Potable Use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShruti Mathur, a recipient of the Young Scientists’ Award from the Indian Science Congress, is currently an Associate Professor of Biotechnology at Amity University, Jaipur.
