This monograph comprehensively examines water law regulations and
reform in the present decade, going beyond a simple analysis of
existing water law and regulations to encompass environmental,
social, economic, and human rights aspects of water as a natural
resource.
Using the specific case of India and on the related international
law and policy framework that directly influences water regulatory
developments in India, this book offers what will be the first and
only analysis of water law reforms taking place at the national
level in many developing countries in their domestic and
international context. On the one hand, international freshwater
law remains under-developed and existing legal instruments such as
the 1997 UN Convention only address a limited set of relevant
issues. Yet, the international law and policy framework concerning
freshwater is increasingly important in shaping up law reforms
taking place at the national level, in particular in developing
countries. Indeed, non-binding resolutions such as the Dublin
Statement on Water and Sustainable Development (1992) have had an
immense influence on water law reforms in most developing
countries.
This book seeks to conceive of and analyze freshwater regulation
in a broader context, and go beyond a literature that either lauds
or criticizes ongoing water sector reforms to provide an analytical
basis for the reforms which all countries will have to adopt in the
near or medium-term future.
