  • Abstract:
  • South 24 Parganas, located in the Ganges Delta, faces water scarcity due to sea water intrusion, soil salinity, and contaminants. The district's tropical monsoon climate leads to acute water shortages outside the rainy season. The study analyzes water sources, aquifer disposition, and challenges in sustainable water management. Implementing solutions requires collaboration and navigating financial constraints, lack of public awareness, policy and regulatory hurdles, technological barriers, cultural resistance, environmental factors, infrastructure limitations, and equity issues.
