Abstract	This paper analyzes the growing need of information technology to conserve water resources, capable of storing, integrating, and displaying geographic information. At present, the Geographic Information System is not only limited to cartography but also related to various data management such as natural resource management, environmental impact assessment, and etc. The Information technology coupled with Internet provides more geographic information sharing as many people can use at the same time. The Information technology including Management Information is a research and application area that utilizes the Internet systems to facilitate the access, processing, and dissemination of geographic or non-geographic information. In this study, the Internet GIS application has been developed for the water resource management as it gives users better understanding of the overall country watershed. Economic growth should be achieved in such a way that it should not harm environment in the first place and if we cannot avoid, its impact on the environment should be least. Currently the economic growth is at odds with environment which is a cause of concern for the environmentalists or the scientific community. Just like other government departments, MoEF designs and implements policies which contribute to economic performance, productivity growth and economic prosperity of our country. Economic growth and environmental balance must be kept in mind while deciding any project to take in hand. It is the natural environment which is central to economic growth and activity, providing the resources we need to manufacture goods and services, and absorbs and processes unwanted by-products in the form of waste and pollution. Environmental assets are responsible in contributing to managing risks to economic and social activity, also help to regulate flood risks and the local climate (both air quality and temperature), and maintain the supply of clean water and other resources. The India and the global economy is facing environmental challenges, from averting dangerous climate change to halting biodiversity loss and protecting our ecosystems. There has been debate over whether it is possible to achieve economic growth while tackling these challenges. This paper examines the link between economic growth and the environment, and the role of environmental policy in managing the provision and use of natural assets.
