"With increasing household income and increasing contributions from the service and industrial sectors, the water demand in the domestic and industrial sectors increasing substantially," says a study conducted by EA Water, a leading consulting firm in water sector.

Nearly 70 per cent of country's irrigation and 80 per cent of domestic water use comes from groundwater, which is rapidly getting depleted.

However, overseas players from Canada, Israel, Germany, Italy, United States, China and Belgium sees big investment opportunity worth USD 13 billion in the domestic water sector.

Anyway we dont have any rivers to worry about. Tamil Nadu should store the water efficiently which get through rain. Always the Veeranam lake (11KM long and 4KM width) gets spilled during the rainy season in the cuddalore district and our university used to get holidays for atleast a month due to floods every year.

I dont think we are scarce of rain, water management is poor.
