This study examines the geographical aspects of water security, including rainfall patterns, drought-prone areas, and resource management strategies. Drawing on secondary data from state policies, meteorological reports, and case studies, the analysis highlights spatial disparities across regions like Konkan, Madhya Maharashtra, Marathwada, and Vidarbha. Key findings reveal that while coastal areas benefit from abundant rainfall, interior regions face chronic scarcity exacerbated by climate variability and overexploitation. Through examples like the watershed management in Ralegan Siddhi, the paper demonstrates how community-led initiatives can enhance resilience. Recommendations emphasize integrated geographical planning to achieve sustainable water security.</span></p>
