Representatives of Germany-based Association for European Social Work, Education and Training (VESBE e.V.), Annika Meinecke and Jürgen Lau, stressed on the need for a proper water management system, which is suitable for India.

Experience sharing between Indian and German experts will help in exploring the best method of water management for the country," said Lau.
Ajit Nimbalkar, director of NTPC, New Delhi and former chairman of Maharashtra Water Resources Regulatory Authority, said, "Distribution of water at the time of independence was 80% for agriculture, 15% for domestic and 5% for industries, now the picture has changed, with the demands increasing from all."
