As water is a common heritage having economic value, the responsibility for its regulated use and conservation is vested with every citizen and community. The ownership of water resides with the State as a publicly owned resource with entitlement for individuals, communities and service providers to use water without owning it. In order to conserve and manage water, micro-watershed have been considered as a basic unit and river basin, as an integrated unit of micro-watersheds, shall define water rights and regulate water use.This will facilitate a resource-based approach, user participation and a sustainable and equitable water resource management. A policy framework shall be adopted to create an enabling environment for equitable, sustainable and productive management of water resources for ensuring public health, promoting growth and minimizing regional imbalance.
