Abstract	Abstract: Although water is a renewable resource, groundwater levels across the world are experiencing a continuous decline. The primary sectors consuming water include agriculture, domestic use, industry, and environmental needs. The rising challenges of unplanned urbanization, rapid industrialization, exponential population growth, changing agricultural practices, limited technical expertise, and inadequate implementation of suitable technologies at the river basin level have all contributed to the growing scarcity of clean and fresh water. In India, agriculture remains the largest water consumer, followed by increasing demands from industrial processes and urban areas due to expanding economic activities. Therefore, it becomes imperative for policymakers to accurately determine the optimal water demand across various sectors based on the available resources. This paper provides a critical review of existing methodologies for assessing water resources and explores management strategies to address future challenges.
