The use value of water was never undermined‚ but it’s about time that even its exchange value is given due importance. Fresh water today is a scarce resource‚ and it is being felt the world over. More than 2000 million people would live under conditions of high water stress by the year 2050‚ according to the UNEP (United Nations Environment Programme)‚ which warns water

that limits the use of natural water sources. Sustainable use of water could maintain balance between demand and supply of water. Integrated water management system is a tool that can ensure sustainable use of water through rain water harvesting. Rainwater harvesting is the most useful method during water crisis period as it could be easily used for domestic purposes. Sustainability of this system ensures reduction of pressure on ground water sources as well as reduction of water logging problem caused

drought to end. California has started pumping more groundwater in response to this threat‚ but over-pumping groundwater is not the solution either. In order to eliminate the importing of water‚ we need to turn to desalination‚ recycled water‚ and rainwater harvesting. Despite what many people say‚ desalination is a very good source of water these days‚ and we can use it to help terminate the need for imported water. We have the whole ocean at our disposal‚ and even more so in Southern California
