Abstract: Growing water demand and water scarcity have turned into a prominent challenge to livelihood in many regions of the world. Water is becoming a scarce resource due to climate change, coupled with population increases and urbanisation combined with poor management practices that are putting strain on natural resources. This abstract outline the primary concerns that populations encounter as a result of water scarcity and address the multifaced implications of the inadequate water resources on the communities at large in Ukhrul town. The methodology includes in-depth interviews and field observation. The data collected was analysed using SPSS version 27. The study employed purposive sampling to select the localities and was conducted with 550 respondents using simple random sampling. Ukhrul, which has a growing population, is known as a water scarce region due to its low supply of fresh water every year especially during the dry summer months.
