There is scarcity of domestic water supply, drinking water, and water for irrigation in almost all parts of the country. Hydro developmental tools  must be upgraded according to new technological advancements. To avoid drought , policy makers must consider reforming water pricing regime, conservation and judicious use of water, use of software of water management, solar tube wells, and using drip irrigation techniques. Its time to do more for water development infra structure.
