Abstract

The Water Security Plan for the sustainability of Water Resources of Amini Jalgram, Union Territory of Lakshadweep, South India has been studied. Amini Island is one of the smallest inhabited islands of the Union Territory of Lakshadweep having an area of 2.60 km2, where the fragile ground water resource is occurring as lens over marine water. Amini Island is entirely different from that existing in the main land. On the basis of the hydrogeological investigations and other related studies, certain participatory water management programs are to be urgently initiated in the island for the sustainability of water resources of the study area.
