A primer on water law and policy in India

The objective of this primer is to introduce the water law and policy framework in India, including the ongoing water sector/ law reforms, to members of the public, civil society organisations, and government representatives. The primer encapsulates water laws, the current water law reforms; their impacts and issues for further advocacy. It is hoped that the contents of this primer will raise more questions about the ongoing reform process, which will facilitate dialogue and a better understanding of the problems plaguing the sector, and eventually result in more effective and equitable solutions.
