In the heart of the picturesque landscapes and vibrant culture of Jammu lies a silent crisis, one that strikes at the very essence of life itself: water scarcity and contamination. As the author of this book, I embarked on a journey to explore the depths of this critical issue that plagues our region. This exploration was not merely an academic pursuit but a heartfelt endeavor, born out of concern for the well-being of our communities and a profound love for this land I call home.
As I delved into the research, I was confronted with harsh realities. The water sources that have sustained generations are dwindling at an alarming rate, leaving in their wake parched lands and desperate lives. Simultaneously, the contamination of available water, once pure and life-giving, has become a looming threat, casting a shadow over the health and prosperity of the people of Jammu.
