Water crisis refers to the shortage of fresh, clean water due to factors such as overexploitation, pollution, and climate change. This shortage impacts drinking water availability, agriculture, and industry, leading to severe social and economic consequences.

Measures for effective water resource management include:

1. Water Conservation: Promote practices like rainwater harvesting, drip irrigation, and efficient water use in households and industries.
2. Pollution Control: Enforce stricter regulations to prevent contamination of water bodies from industrial and agricultural runoff.
3. Wastewater Recycling: Develop and implement systems for treating and reusing wastewater.
4. Infrastructure Development: Invest in modernizing water supply and distribution networks to reduce leaks and losses.
5. Public Awareness: Educate communities on the importance of water conservation and sustainable usage.

These measures help ensure a sustainable and equitable distribution of water resources.
