Sustainable Urbanisation Water deforestation scarcity %N 19 %T Problems And Prospects Of Water Resource Of Kurseong Municipality, Darjeeling District, West Bengal %U http://www.scienceparks.in/ArticlePDF/45.pdf %V 1 %X Water is an essential source to life and is important to understand that urban water management and its conservation play a critical role in enabling a sustainable urban environment. Having a secure supply of clean water to a town is of fundamental importance as it is known to all, the multi-interest utilization of water resources everywhere. But in recent years, on account of the growing pressures upon urban water supplies due to rapidly increasing urban population, water scarcity has become a serious issue especially in Darjeeling hills which unlike plains lack the advantage of alternative sources. The faulty anthropogenic activities have vitiated the water resources in the region. The present paper attempts to assess the water supply in Kurseong town, to probe into the causes of water scarcity, to identify the associated problems and to suggest alternative measures.
