Water shortage is broadly understood as the lack of access to adequate quantities of water for human and environmental uses. India’s two-third area is drought prone and per capita water availability is progressively decreasing. The Marathwada region is facing a year after year water shortage problem. During summer, the water problem goes from bad to worse. In the Marathwada region, there is only 600 mm to 700 mm of annual rainfall, which is the lowest as compared to other parts of the state. Due to less rainfall and no consistent supply of natural water, the groundwater level has depleted to 300 feet below the ground. The present study found that there is not enough water for a family in a year, so there is no daily drinking water supply in normal as well as drought period in affected villages in Vaijapur taluka. According to 80 percent of respondents, people depend on community taps, wells and hand pumps for drinking water during the normal period and it’s depend on community water delivery tankers in the drought period. This study also focuses on solving the problem of water shortage, according to sample households that it will be solved after implementation of Jalayukta Shivar Abhiyan and well and borewell recharge through rain water supply through administrative level. According to 80 percent of respondents, this problem will be solved through public participation in water conservation works, as well as water conservation works under the Paani Foundation
