ABSTRACT This report presents the emphasis on implementation of renewable energy resources in India. A detailed analysis of the renewable energy sector shows there are less policies and investments in the innovation of this energy. India has limited energy resources and one day it will only depend on renewable energy resources. For this‚ Indian government should implement several measures like sustainable planning; reasonable budget etc. so that renewable energy sources optimally utilized and conserves

Hundreds of small‚ medium and large companies’ measure manage and report their Green House Gas emissions‚ but very few report their water footprint. Water is as important as the air we breathe. We may be able to survive without electricity‚ but not without water. According to the US Environmental Protection Agency‚ an average US family of four uses about 400 gallons of water from their daily activities such as: taking shower‚ laundry‚ washing dishes and flushing the toilet [1].
