The study offers a comprehensive assessment of water resource management in the Yamuna River Basin's three key sectors—domestic, agricultural, and industrial—highlighting the challenges, initiatives, and best practices implemented by various stakeholders to address water-related issues. The study focuses on the domestic sector, especially the roles of the Delhi Jal Board (DJB), Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA), Municipal Corporations, and Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in promoting water conservation, groundwater management, and wastewater treatment. The evaluation emphasizes the role of Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM), stakeholder engagement, technological innovation, policy regulation, and public awareness in improving water efficiency, quality, and sustainability in the household sector. In the agricultural sector, the study looks at the suitability of Yamuna River water for irrigation at specific locations, evaluating key water quality parameters like pH, Electrical Conductivity (EC), Total Dissolved Salts (TDS), Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Nitrate, and Phosphates. The findings show that while certain parameter concentrations are within acceptable limits, high pH levels and water hardness make the water unsuitable for irrigation, necessitating appropriate pollution control measures and wastewater treatment to mitigate environmental degradation and maintain agricultural productivity. In the industrial sector, the study looks into how various ministries, authorities, and regulatory bodies use and manage water resources, with a focus on initiatives like the "Zero Liquid Discharge" (ZLD) policy, "Jal Jeevan Mission - Industrial Water Use Efficiency" (JJM-IWUE), and Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs) to promote sustainable industrial practices, water conservation, and pollution prevention. The assessment emphasizes the role of regulatory frameworks, technological innovations, public-private partnerships, capacity building, stakeholder engagement, water auditing, and monitoring in promoting responsible industrial water management and improving water quality and availability in the Yamuna River Basin. Overall, the study emphasizes the complex interplay between water demand, supply, quality, and sustainability across various sectors in the Yamuna River Basin, as well as the importance of integrated, adaptive, and collaborative approaches to addressing the region's multifaceted water challenges. The study's goal is to inform and guide policy formulation, planning, and decision-making processes in the Yamuna River Basin by drawing on insights, lessons learned, and best practices identified from various initiatives and case studies.
