Abstract
The importance of water is too obvious to require much elaboration. Water is life. It is one of the most critical natural resources for the continuance of life on earth. It is a scarce, precious and replenish able natural resource which cannot be created. Its true value can be known only when it is not available its value can be gauged by the energy and time spent in traversing to fetch a pot of water. The sources of water are mainly surface and ground water. To some extent, these are interdependent as the use of one source affects the availability of the other. Utilisation of each source varies depending upon its availability.
