When it comes to water, we flush and forget. We use, abuse and
almost never recycle. Water sector in India, since the 1990s, has
seen some new ideas formalised legally and institutionally, while
others are still emerging and evolving. Confronting the reality of
current water management strategies, this volume discusses the
state of the Indian water sector to uncover solutions that can
address the imminent water crises. This book: Analyses the growing
water insecurity, increase in demand, inefficiency in water use,
and growing inequalities in accessing clean water; Sheds light on
water footprint in agricultural, industrial and urban use,
pressures on river basin management, depleting groundwater
resources, patterns of droughts and floods, watershed based
development and waste water and sanitation management; Examines
water conflicts, lack of participatory governance mechanisms, and
suggests an alternative framework for water regulation and conflict
transformation; Highlights the relationship between gender
discourse and water governance; Presents an alternative agenda for
water sector reforms. This volume, with hopes for a more water
secure future, will interest scholars and researchers of
development studies, environment studies, public policy, political
studies, political sociology, and, NGOs, media and think tanks
working in this area.
