India has a surface and ground water irrigation potential of nearly 100 million hectares, which has made it the country with the largest irrigated area in the world. This book deals with policy and governance issues in relation to management, as well as development of water resources in India. Taking a holistic approach, it critically reviews important aspects of the water sector and comes forward with practical suggestions to improve the system further. The perspective of this book is mainly social, economic and institutional and not technological. While the book focuses on India, the issues discussed, and their implications, are relevant to a greater part of the world, especially the developing world. The book would be useful for researchers, administrators, policy-makers and those interested in water resources in India and elsewhere.
