As per a report of the United Nations, India is heading towards a serious water crisis by 2025. Giving a comparative statement, Prof. Jagadeeswara Rao said, “In developed countries agriculture consumes about 30 % of water and comparatively in India it is 80%. Sastry, Deputy Director, Groundwater and Water Audit, said 80 % of the diseases are caused by contaminated water. But at the same if from now on water resources are utilised properly, then the country will not have any water problem till at least 2050, said P. Jagadeeswara Rao of the Department of Geo-Engineering, Andhra University College of Engineering. We have to move towards scientific methods of agriculture and target crops that require less water.”“While the population has increased by about 200 % since 1947, the available water resources have shrunk drastically and the water pollution has increased rapidly,” Prof. Jagadeeswara Rao said.
