As water scarcities increase, nations throughout the world are in
search of better institutions to manage water resources. India has
been making substantial efforts to develop its water management
systems since independence and significant increases in irrigated
agriculture have taken place through both public and private
initiatives. However, scarcities are increasing and major problems
presently confront the management of water resources and irrigated
agriculture. Resolving these problems is crucial for the future.
The main purpose of this book is to provide a new approach for the
analysis and design of water institutions that govern the use and
development of water resources, particularly for agriculture which
is the largest user. Drawing on the theory of New Institutional
Economics and comparisons with Australia (as a developed country)
and other less developed nations in Africa and Asia, the authors
present original empirical data from three Indian states. Detailed
analysis of these data is used to identify and recommend attributes
and features of water management institutions that are conducive to
effective resource management, its long-term success, and its best
contribution to development.
