    ISSN : 2277-1298 (Print) ISSN : 2277-1301 (Online) IWRA (India) IWRA JOURNAL Half Yearly Technical Journal of Indian Geographical Committee of IWRA Vol. 8 = No. 2 = July 2019 ABOUT JOURNAL Water is among the most precious gifts of the nature to mankind. Benign and life supporting in normal times, menacing during floods, and desperately sought in times of drought, the waters of the rivers, aquifers, springs, lakes, etc., have been part of our daily life. However, with the growing requirements of water for diverse purposes, water is becoming a critical and scarce natural resource and can not be regarded as available in abundance as might had been believed earlier. It is widely recognized that many countries are entering into era of severe water shortage. The increase is not only due to population growth but also due to improved life style of the people. The dramatic expansion of urbanized areas, which has been witnessed over the last few decades is likely to continue in most countries of the world. Such, often unplanned, growth leading to the emergence of conurbation and mega cities, poses a threat to both the availability and quality of surface and groundwater resources. These threats are both unprecedented and of immense scale when viewed from political, social and economic perspectives. The aim of the journal is to provide latest information in regard to developments taking place in the field of water resources, besides making aware the readers about the activities being carried out in the field of Water Resources, worldwide, such as technical papers, R&D Activities, and information regarding conferences, training programmes and important news.

The National Development Council resolved that Agricultural Development strategies must be reoriented to meet the needs of farmers and called upon the Central and State governments to evolve a strategy to rejuvenate agriculture with a commitment to achieve four per cent annual growth in the agricultural sector during the 11th plan. The council also recommended special Additional Central Assistance Scheme named National Agriculture Development Programme (NADP) be launched. To implement this, formulation of District level action plans is the pre-requisite and thus District Agriculture Plan of various districts in Tamil Nadu has been prepared with the financial assistance of Government of India. The task of preparing the District Agriculture Plan has been given to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University by Government of Tamil Nadu. Thus 29 Districts level Plans, excluding Chennai and Nilgris, were prepared by the Centre for Agricultural and Rural Development Studies, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University.
