Abstract

This chapter sheds light on the key conclusions and recommendations of the 19 chapters that were provided in the book titled “Water quality, assessment, and management in India”. Also, some observations from a few recently published research works relevant to water quality. Therefore, this chapter provides details on (a) status of water resources in India, (b) water harvesting and water qualities, (c) water quality assessment and management and groundwater quality assessment and control. Besides, a collection of guidelines for the future research activity is pointed out to guide future research towards environmental protection, which is a main subject of strategic significance under Indian circumstances.
