  1. Kumari Shivangi

Abstract

Water is unanimously acknowledged as a symbol of life as it is the most vital for maintaining an environment and ecosystem contributing to support all forms of life. It plays an important role in fulfilling basic human need for life and health but also in socio-economic development. 18% of the world’s population lack access to safe drinking water. By 2025, it is estimated that two thirds of the world’s population will live in areas facing moderate to severe water stress. Transforming the social culture so that it is educated by the principles of equality, equity, and sustainability - especially inclusiveness, transparency and accountability - is critical to changing the culture of water management and also it will change accountability of women only for water management.
