Development of surface and ground water resources with  (i) Inadequate scientific studies,  (ii) Inaccessibility of the existing database,  (iii) Unsustainable population growth,  (iv) Absence of source sustainability,  (v) High biological and industrial pollution of waters,  (vi) Pursuance of outdated and defective policies, and  (vii) Conflicts among competing stakeholders  have led to water shortages for public supplies, irrigation and other uses in most parts of India in general and Andhra Pradesh State in particular. This group discusses the water problems in various parts of India, methods presently adopted to tackle those problems by various governmental, non-governmental, international and other agencies, and suggest alternate strategies for cost-effective and sustainable supply of water of adequate quality and quantity for all the users.  Conflicts between India and neighbouring Pakistan, Bangladesh, China, Nepal and Bhutan in sharing waters of transboundary rivers and aquifers may also be discussed. In addition, members may highlight success stories in tackling water problems in other countries for India to draw lessons and emulate them.  Anyone can subscribe as a member of the group and post messages, files, pictures, database etc. without any prior approval. Dr. R. Jagadiswara Rao <jagadiswara@yahoo.com>, Former Professor of Geology, Sri Venkateswara University, Tirupati, AP 517502 is the moderator of the group. If undue clogging of mailbox with messages is a problem, the subscribers can choose the appropriate message delivery option (i.e., Individual emails, Daily digest, Special notices or No email) by going to their Yahoo's "Edit My Membership" page. Members may also visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/India_WaterProblems to post and view messages etc. The accompanying Figure depicting "Benefits and Costs of Irrigation Projects of Andhra Pradesh" is a case to ponder for suggesting better strategies of project construction.
