Abstract: Water has grown to be a primary source of dispute, transitioning from its position as a matter of universal human rights, to becoming luxury commodities in certain regions across the world. In developing countries, specifically, there is a need to implement solutions to the large-scale issue of water scarcity in the world: through effective engineering methodologies, structural changes to ensure apt utilization of such methods, as well as urban planning for efficient maintenance and long-term sustainability. Groundwater extraction, here is a specific matter of consideration in landlocked and highly-populated urban regions such as Delhi-NCR in India. Analysis of existing data and rainfall patterns has shown that by 2020, Delhi is likely to deplete its groundwater, if immediate steps are not taken for the same. The study will look at effective engineering tools for universal rainwater harvesting methods as well as other remedies for groundwater conservation. Alongside policy considerations, engineering solutions will be discussed keeping in mind the importance for proper groundwater development that does not degrade ecosystems or lead to the decline of water quality.
