Water crisis has been a huge problem in new millennium in Bihar. The average rainfall in the state for the last 15 years is getting slightly more than 800 mm. whereas the state used to get 1200 to 1500 mm of rain a decade and a half ago. The underground water level in Bihar has recorded a decline. The ground water reserves have also decrease in the state during last three decade. With this, Bihar stands in front of a big water crisis. The main reason for this is the lack of rainwater not reaching the ground water level due to heavy reduction in the amount of rain, damaged canal system, excess irrigation than boring method, lack of rainwater harvesting schemes. In this paper we briefly analysis the water resource situation and give measures solving to the problem of water crisis in Bihar.
