2025-08-28 00:00:00 Water is a prime need of life. Adequate availability of required quality of water is needed for human life and animals. Only 3% of fresh water is available for human beings for their various activities on this earth out of which about 2% is available as glaciers and ground water and only 1% is available in rivers and ponds. Surface water bodies such as lakes, ponds, reservoirs, river and tanks were used as sources over centuries. India has had abundant resources of pure water but progressing towards water scarcity due to increase of water demand for various sectors. The ponds have a vital role in conservation, storage, recharging of ground water and also being used for religious purposes in the country. The water sources are such as ponds, wells and rivers are worshiped as gods, but the situation of the ponds in the State are deteriorated with the passage of time resulting in the deterioration of the water quality in the ponds, reduction in the percolation of Ground Water causing the depletion of the ground water level. Less water is available for agriculture, industrial and domestic use. Keeping in view, the State Govt. have taken an initiative to constitute “The Haryana Pond and Waste Water Management Authority”. Constitution of “The Haryana Pond and Waste Water Management Authority” in the State of Haryana “The Haryana Pond and Waste Water Management Authority” (HPWWMA) has been established under the obligation of an Act No. 33 of 2018 notified on 23.10.2018 and further notified on 18th December, 2018, whose composition is given in the Notification itself.
