Abstract:- Groundwater is the planet's most vital resource for maintaining life and the environment. Because of its widespread usage in many fields, it is rapidly depleting, necessitating sustainable resource management. Groundwater resource management is becoming increasingly vital, not just in India, but also globally. Sustainable groundwater supplies are a major concern for many countries, particularly those in dry regions. In this study, we shall define a sustainable water resource as a water flow that is controlled to preserve water quantity and quality. Water's significance is so fundamental that we cannot rely on a single institution alone, but rather require a collective approach. Addressing the groundwater problem is a pressing matter not just for the current generation but also for future generations. Water management encompasses several sectors of the Indian economy, including industrial, agricultural, household, electricity, environment, fisheries, and transportation. This management strategy will aid in overcoming water-stressed demand and increasing water supply. This article recognises appropriate groundwater management practises in India. Because of the rising water demand, the involvement of numerous elements that regulate the exploitation of water resources has become crucial for groundwater management.
