Abstract

Cet article compare deux tentatives de séparer les droits des eaux du droit à la terre qui ont été entreprises dans l’Etat de Maharashtra en Inde occidentale lors des 25 dernières années : le Pani Panchayat qui a commencé pendant les années 1980 d’une part, et la mise en œuvre actuelle de réformes concernant la gestion de l’eau promouvant explicitement le droit à l’eau, de l’autre. La mesure dans laquelle ces initiatives ont facilité le droit à l’eau des pauvres sans terre est liée au différents discours sur le développement sous-jacents associés avec ces deux processus. Ceux-ci expliquent aussi les différences quant au rôle de l’Etat ainsi que la législation promulguée dans les deux cas de figure. L’article se conclut par un appel pour une action politique immédiate prenant avantage de l’espace offert par les processus de formalisation du droit à l’eau afin d’intervenir activement en faveur des pauvres sans terre.European Journal of Development Research (2009) 21, 195–212. doi:10.1057/ejdr.2008.19
