Speaking on the occasion, RD Singh, director, National Institute of Hydrology, Roorkee said that adaptation to the climate change is really a big issue. Change of climate cannot be stopped. However, its impact can be minimised. "So adaptation to this change is required and we should do work in this regard," he said.

SK Das from IIT-Delhi explaining the necessity of water resource management said that increase in urbanization would lead to decrease in water recharge. The government should promote water recharge and monitor groundwater to avoid an extreme adverse situation.
