Draft State Water Policy formulated [1]

SHILLONG: Realising the importance of water for both human and animal life, the proposed draft document of the State Water Policy has laid emphasis on the need to regulate exploitation of ground water resources.

“There should be a periodical reassessment of the ground water potential on a scientific basis taking into consideration the quality of the water available and economic viability of its extraction,” the draft document prepared by the State Government, which is available on the official website of the Water Resources department, states.
