Water Demand (2023)

he term "water demand" describes how much water is needed or wanted by
various industries, including agriculture, industry, and home use. For
Tefficient water management and conservation, it is essential to analyze N
water demand. Factors such as population size, per capita water demand, industrial
and agricultural water demands, domestic water demand, non-potable uses, and
losses are essential for calculating water demand. The distribution of block-level W E
water demands in Haryana is shown in Figure 47, ranging from 35 MCM to 210
MCM, categorized into seven ranges. The majority of the state i.e, 32.6% falls into S
the 70-105 MCM range, indicating medium to high water demand in Table 41.
Scale
Areas in Fatehabad, Karnal and Jind have a water demand of >=210 MCM,
Kms
highlighting the need for awareness programs and plans to reduce demand in these 0 12.5 25 50 75 100
areas. Refer Annexure-III for details.
Water demand maps are valuable tools for water resource management, planning,
and decision-making. They assist in water allocation, infrastructure planning for
pipelines, treatment plants, and reservoirs, conservation efforts, emergency
response, cost-benefit analysis for different water supply projects, and resource
utilization efficiency. These maps also aid in identifying the most efficient and cost-
effective solutions to meet water demand in a specific area.
