National Water Resources Bill

The National Water Resources Bill is proposed legislation aimed at managing and regulating India's water resources more effectively. It establishes a legal framework for water conservation, allocation, and use across the country. The bill emphasizes the sustainable management of water bodies, promotes equitable distribution, and includes provisions for river basin planning and development. It also seeks to strengthen existing institutions responsible for water governance and ensure that water is used efficiently and transparently, balancing the needs of agriculture, industry, and households while protecting ecological health.
