Conservation of Water Quality: India is full of diverse geological formations, from the oldest Achaeans to recent alluviums, and is characterized by varying climatic conditions in different parts of the country. Naturally, groundwater quality is influenced by the depth of soils and underground geological formations through which groundwater remains in contact. In general, much of the country's groundwater quality is potable and suitable for other purposes as well. Generally, groundwater in shallow aquifers is suitable for different purposes and contains calcium bicarbonate, sodium chloride and mixed type. The quality of deep aquifers varies from one place to another and is suitable for common uses. There is salinity problem in coastal areas and high incidence of fluoride, arsenic, iron and heavy metals etc. has been reported. (17)The major groundwater quality problems in India are:1. Salinity: Salinity of groundwater can be broadly classified into two types: namely, inland salinity and coastal salinity.a. Inland Salinity: In groundwater, inland salinity is dispersed mainly in arid and semi-arid areas of Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. There are several places in Rajasthan and South Haryana where the electrical conductivity values ​​of groundwater are quite high, making the water unused for drinking purposes. In some areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat, the salinity of groundwater is so high that the water is directly used for making salt. Another reason that results in salinity of inland lands is the practice of surface water irrigation without considering the condition of groundwater. The gradual increase in groundwater levels over time results in ...... middle of paper ...... marks the beginning of a strategy that no longer considers drinking water as a free good, the provision of which should be the responsibility of the government. In principle, the SRP aims to improve the sustainability of water supply systems and sources, in addition to ensuring effective implementation of projects. (12) The SRP was introduced with a view to institutionalizing (a) community participation and (b) a demand-driven strategy. The cardinal principles of implementation have been awareness-raising, popular participation, functional transparency and stakeholder accountability. The reform process was implemented through the SRP on a pilot basis in 63 districts in India. In Gujarat, the pilot districts selected are Mehsana, Surat and Rajkot. Besides the time overrun, some of the key aspects of this program have not fared well in the states.. (12)
