Water policies and legal framework in India

  • Siddiqui, M. S.

Abstract

The paper tries to look at the legal frameworks in the water sector in India, from the first laws drafted during British India to the revisions and additions post independence. It talks about the provisions in the law as well as the flaws and omissions and suggests an examination of and strengthening of the existing water laws and policies to address the problems of environment, ecology, equity and development. There is a need to devise an alternative socio-legal discourse and practice where the concerned authorities use organic knowledge of water resource management as seriously as the scientific knowledge, and work a consideration of people’s struggles for water resource management as pursuit of human rights.Length: pp.569-585
