Abstract:

This study investigates the significant disparities in water resource distribution across various regions of Rajasthan, a state characterized by its arid climate and complex hydrological challenges. Despite being one of India’s largest states, Rajasthan faces severe water scarcity, exacerbated by uneven rainfall, population growth, and agricultural demands. This paper analyzes historical, geographical, and socio-economic factors that contribute to these disparities, utilizing quantitative data to highlight regional differences in water availability and usage. The findings reveal that while some regions benefit from better infrastructure and access to groundwater, others face critical shortages, leading to socio-economic inequalities and public health issues. The study emphasizes the need for integrated water resource management and community engagement in policy-making to ensure equitable water distribution and sustainable development across the state.
