Sustainable management and sanitation of water resource for future generations

Introduction
Various reports published in the investment journals clearly indicates that industries related to
“water purification solutions” will flourish very rapidly and acquire a growth of more than folds
in comparison with its current size. The further growth rate of this industry sector will remain
stationary at the levels of forty percent per annum.
It clearly indicates that “water resource management” is going to become the buzz word in the
coming future. The future direction in this field can be seen on three levels.
Future directions
A sea change in the policies
Water pollution is an important topic under the guidelines of the triple bottom line. Most of the
environmentalist believes that present water sources will not be able to fulfill the needs of future
populations because of a natural increase in the population. On a policy level, it is very important
for all the countries to come up with a macro plan where they can increase the carrying capacity
of various places and harvest rainwater. All the concerns and efforts in this regard should be
treated at a global level. It should be treated as an investment with an intention to save the future
of humanity.
Chemical-based industries will have to come up with eco-friendly means to accomplish their
production activity. There is no harm in adding an additional price on the goods and spend it in
the management of the waste where the water quality remains pure. The same is applicable to the
urbanization, the process of urbanization is killing the natural reservoirs and breaking the natural

drainage of the water. In the future, many serious consequences may occur if we will not prevent
this unplanned development. The third and most important policy-related solution is related to
the consumption patterns of the water by human beings, adequate policies can prevent this
misuse and wrong use of the water resources (Afroz, 2016).
Methods that can be applied
Individuals can be motivated to use recycled water at various levels. A change in lifestyle is
needed. Society can put pressure on industries to use proper methods of disposing of waste.
Customers can demand “proper waste disposal” certificates from the companies that are selling
chemical-based goods. Education to conserve water can become an essential part of the
curriculum (Cosgrove, 2015).
Government bodies and local bodies can make it sure for all to have adequate soaking pits in all
the properties to maintain the levels of water inside the crest of the earth. Researchers can ensure
a bio-diversity in the areas of natural reservoirs because if the water loses its natural strengths
then it can be counted as pollution. The methods of farming can be redeveloped and technologies
like rainwater harvesting and drip irrigation can be promoted.
Conclusion
The present condition related to water pollution management is inconsistent because of the
floods and irregular monsoon patterns. they are heavily dependent on the cycles of the monsoon,
and during the years of flood, the natural drainage created by the overflow takes care of the water
pollution. This is why many countries are adopting a lethargic approach to the issue. However,
things will not remain the same in the future when the pressure of increasing the carrying
capacity to store the water will increase. Right now we are preserving water in natural reservoirs

by erecting the dams. However, in the coming future a situation may come when scarcity of
water will force individuals to purify the water and recycle it. This condition is inevitable;
however it can be postponed for a while by implementing right policies to tackle water pollution
at a global level.
