The global water crisis is no longer a doomsday prophecy, as manifest in the widespread incidence of water scarcity and conflict, depletion of groundwater, and pollution of water sources. Drawing on global and Indian literature as well as field studies, this Short Introduction provides a holistic analysis of water-related issues, identifies the shortcomings in the present water governance system, and suggests effective solutions for the way forward.
