Action Scale	Global
Themes & Indicators	Ecosystem Spatial extent (hectare or km²) of water related ecosystem is maintained or enhanced. Quality of water and water related ecosystems is monitored, maintained, and improved The water balance (water quantity ) of water related ecosystem, including groundwater dependent, is monitored and maintained. Measures that make hydrological alteration more sustainable and promote riverine connectivity are implemented Conservation, restoration and sustainable use of terrestrial and inland freshwater ecosystems and their services, in particular forests, wetlands, mountains and drylands, in line with obligations under international agreements is ensured People Proportion of population having access to sufficient, safely managed and affordable drinking water services is increased Proportion of population having access to adequate and equitable safely managed sanitation services is increased Proportion of population having access to adequate and affordable a safely managed hand-washing facility with soap and water is increased Mortality rate attributed to unsafe water, unsafe sanitation and lack of hygiene (exposure to unsafe Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for All (WASH) services) is decreased. Economic and Development Water supply for economic and development activities across all sectors is secure, reliable and sustainably used. Water-use efficiency in economic and development activities is improved and sustainable withdrawal and supply of freshwater is ensured. Sustainable water practices by economic and development activities are promoted and implemented. Pollution load management and circular economy is enhanced Disaster Risk Reduction and Emergency Response Mortalities and the number of people affected by water-related disasters is significantly reduced Economic losses due to water-related disasters are reduced The risks of water-related disasters are addressed through integrated plans and strategies, monitoring systems and preparedness Investment in water related disaster security measures, such as nature-based solutions and infrastructure, to reduce damage and protect from the impacts of climate change is increased Cross Cutting Enabling environment such as water resources policy, law(s), plans, regulations, or similar, at the national and/or sub-national levels, are developed within GESI principles and implemented. Institutional setting for water security is supported with clear role and sufficient capacity, and also able to effectively collaborate and coordinate. A collaboration mechanism for public, community and multi-stakeholder participation in water resources development, management and decision making that addresses inequalities is established. Management instruments and tools to support IWRM implementation such as in water-use management, pollution control, water-related ecosystem management, water-related disaster management at the national, basin or aquifer level are established and implemented. Innovative financing mechanisms that increase revenue and budget for both IWRM elements and water resources infrastructure are developed and implemented. International cooperation through the disbursement and commitment to water security related sectors is increased. Transboundary operational arrangements for water cooperation and water diplomacy (including political stability) are increased and organizational framework for transboundary water management is established, and regular data and information sharing between countries is implemented. Innovation and research on infrastructure, climate change adaptation, and resilience and sustainable environment technology in water related infrastructure and management is undertaken, developed and implemented Arrangements (eg. coordination mechanisms) to avoid water related conflict within and between countries are established Integrity and transparency practices across water policies, water institutions, and water governance frameworks are mainstreamed.

Description	GLOBAL RAINWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (GRMP) WHICH IS DEVELOPED UNDER OUR NGO SHREE SOMESHWAR EDUCATION TRUST (A UN SDG PARTNER) and it’s Commercial Unit M/S DEVRAM INTERNATIONAL (GWP PARTNER) from the city of Surat, INDIA. This GRMP is not a single product but a comprehensive program for MANAGING RAIN & SNOW WATER starting from a household to a village, a city, a district a nation to a continent and the planet. Why WE call this PROGRAM an innovation is a likely to be a question here. So, the answer is: Apart from the range of innovative products and structures developed under this PROGRAM, THIS GLOBAL RAINWATER MANAGEMENT PROGRAM (GRMP) IS A SINGLE TOOL WHICH CONTRIBUTES IN ADDRESSING 11 SDGs OUT OF 17. AS PER THE RESULTS ACHIVED FROM OUR RESEARCH, EXPERIMENTS, TRIALS, PILOT PROJECTS, WE COULD CONCLUDE THAT the PROGRAM HAS SHOWN A VERY PROMISING PROSPECT IN ENHANCING SOCIO-ECONOMIC SCENARIOS, NATURE CONSERVATION, CLIMATE ACTIONS, DISPUTES RESOLUTIONS AND ALMOST ALL ASPECTS OF HUMANITY AND GOVERNANCE TO ACHIVE THE HARMONY WITH NATURE. 1. Increasing FOOD CRISIS. 2. Increasing Planet's Temperature and Global warming. 3. Degrading Soil, Deforestation and Desertification. 4. Increasing Global Water Crisis. 5. WATER CONFLICTS (Local, National and Transboundary). 6. Lack of Common Minimum GLOBAL ACTION PLAN for WATER. 7. Urban Flooding & Drought Management. 8. RENEWABLE ENERGY. 9. CLEAN AIR FOR ALL. 10. BETTER AQUACULTURE with SUSTAINABILITY. 11. RESTORATION OF WETLANDS, PEATLANDS, MANGROVES. 12. RESTORATION of MAN-MADE DISASTERS like ARAL SEA and other water bodies.
