India has 16% of the world’s population and only 4%of the world’s water resources, which are depleting rapidly. The demand for water is expected to grow from 40 billion cubic meters currently to around 220 in 2025. Water is one of the most important inputs essential for crops. Both its shortage and excess affect the growth and development of the plants, yields and quality of produce. There are numerous methods to reduce such losses and to improve soil moisture. The most important step in the direction of finding solutions to issues of water and environmental conservation is to change people's attitudes and habits; this includes each one of us. Droughts are considered natural hazards which also have the significant impact on the sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. Droughts can lead to water scarcity and reduce access to clean drinking water. Drought is a natural hazard, known primarily in terms of scarcity or supply deficit of water due to failure of rainfall, deficiency of reservoirs and water resources, resultant failure of crops, and consequently a level of serious socio-economic distress. The study will reduce the climatic risk of drought in the region and will also reduce the risks of lives. Climatic resilience will encourage people towards environmental consciousness.
