India’s Water Management Needs a New Course: Embrace the Source-to-Sea Approach From, Glaciers to Oceans - Time for Integrated Action

• International Year of Glaciers’ Preservation (UN declaration)
• March 21, 2025: 1st ever World Day for Glaciers
• Beginning of the Decade of Action on Cryospheric Science (2025–2034)

UN 2025 Report: Water Towers Under Threat

• Theme: Mountain and Glaciers – Water Towers
• Focus: Importance of alpine glaciers and mountain water in downstream ecosystems
• Key Message: Cryosphere changes impact freshwater supply, agriculture, and marine ecosystems

The Missing Link: Source to Sea (S2S) Approach

• Water systems are interconnected: from glaciers to rivers, to coasts, and oceans
• Human activities like damming, diversion, pollution affect marine environments
• Manila Declaration (2012): Introduced S2S under the Global Programme of Action
• Adopted by 65 countries, advocating "ridge to reef" management

What is S2S Approach?

India’s Water Crisis: Challenges to Confront

• 600 million people at risk of water stress (NITI Aayog, 2018)

• 311 polluted river stretches in 30 States/UTs (CPCB, 2022)

Why India Struggles: Fragmented Governance

Problem: Disjointed policies, poor coordination, and overlapping jurisdictions

2. Indo-Gangetic basin study on settlement and S2S landscape

2. Yet to be mainstreamed into policy frameworks

Way Forward: Make S2S Core to India's Water Policy

•  Link SDG 6 (Clean Water & Sanitation) with SDG 14 (Life Below Water)
•  Focus on Target 6.5 (Integrated Water Resource Management) & 14.1 (Reduce marine pollution from land-based activities)
•  Involve all stakeholders - from scientists to farmers
•  Bridge the gap between science, policy, and execution
•  Promote innovation, transparency, and cooperation

Static GK Add-on

Exam Takeaways

• Problem area: Fragmented water governance in India
• Global 2025 themes: Glacier Preservation, Cryospheric Science Decade, Ocean Science Decade
• Institutions: IUCN, UNEP, SIWI, NITI Aayog, CPCB
