Water’s role in the nature is prime, fundamental and unalieanable being responsible to circulate in the atmosphere, in the rivers, lakes, soil, rock and in the oceans. It is the major conveyer of various chemical substances and energy, and thus can be termed, the blood of the ecosystems of this planet. The water, otherwise is also interwoven in the various functions of the nature, human society and domestic needs in countless manner, completing in prudence to conceive that water is one of the most complicated challenge of present making in kind of broad development frame work, pressed by a mixed demographic, social, environmental, technological and economic drivers.
