Water is a crucial natural resource that serves as the backbone for every living thing to survive. About 96.5 percent of the water in the ocean and 1 percent of the water in some lakes on Earth, which is completely alkaline water, is not fit for daily life. Just 0.32 percent of the water on Earth is liquid, and only 2.5 percent of that pure water has been established. According to the Water Resources Information System, India accounts for 4 percent of fresh water, but varies with the distribution of water. Water resources are abundant in many areas but most of the plateau area is suffering from water scarcity problem, in which Mahoba district of our study area Bundelkhand is also facing the problem of water shortage. The supply of water in any region depends on rainfall. Indian water management is monsoon dependent. The average rainfall in the study area ranges between 500-1000 mm, due to hard land seepage is very slow. Mahoba is located near the Tropic of Cancer, most of the rainfall occurs in mid-June to mid-September and during these days the region receives abundant sunlight and the rate of evaporation is high during these days. These are the main and common factors of water shortage in that area due to over-exploitation of ground water and slow pace of water recharge, hence many areas are facing the problem of water scarcity. Several negative impacts can be observed in the study area due to scarcity of water such as local people have to go home from water sources to fetch water or forcefully use impure water due to non-availability of pure water. It is very important to solve these problems quickly. We should make people aware and suggest some methods and techniques for water conservation. This research article also makes an effort to understand the causes, consequences, and explore resources available to address the issue of water shortages in the Mahoba district.
