Water Governance in Motion: Towards Socially and Environmentally Sustainable Water Laws focuses on the work undertaken by International Environmental Law Research Centre IELRC on water law reforms in India. It seeks to provide a broader understanding of the conceptual framework informing existing water law and ongoing reforms. The book is divided into two parts. The first part critically analyses the context of international law for water reforms and the second part discusses the multifaceted aspects of water sector reforms in India. It assembles in one volume the contributions made by a broad range of scholars working on various law and policy issues arising in the context of water sector reforms in India. These questions are dealt with from a range of perspectives including human rights, environment, agriculture, development and trade.

Notre présent est marqué par une pression inédite sur notre environnement. Il nous fait prendre conscience de la fragilité de notre planète ainsi que de la responsabilité qui nous incombe de la préserver. Comment concilier cette exigence avec le défi que nous pose l’explosion démographique ? Comment repenser un rapport de l’homme à la terre et à l’environnement qui ne soit pas dicté par les lois du marché ? Les termes de « gouvernance » et de « développement durable » contribuent à redessiner les contours d’un Droit visant à articuler les enjeux politiques, sociaux, économiques et environnementaux contemporains. Cet ouvrage tente de relever les enjeux majeurs et de dégager des pistes de réflexion et d’action en croisant des terrains africains et indiens dans une démarche interdisciplinaire et interculturelle. En promouvant un dialogue « Sud – Sud », il décentre aussi les réflexions globales qui restent dominées par le « Nord ». Our present is characterized by a heretofore unknown pressure on the environment, raising our awareness of the fragility of our planet and our responsibility to preserve it. How to reconcile this exigency with the challenge of demographic explosion? How to ensure a use of natural resources for human wellbeing that is not entirely dictated by market forces? How to rethink the relation between man and land and the environment? The terms ‘governance’ and ‘sustainable development’ contribute to a reshaping of the Law that is aimed at articulating contemporary political, social, economic and environmental issues. The focus of this book is on the major stakes involved and on the way to elaborate possible modes of thought and action through the exploration of African and Indian situations by means of an interdisciplinary and intercultural approach. By promoting a ‘South – South’ dialogue, it also decenters global reflections that continue to be largely dominated by the ‘North’.
