India’s Water Security

Water is emerging as one of the most critical strategic resources of the twenty-first century, shaping not only domestic development trajectories but also geopolitical landscape of entire regions. Nowhere is this more evident than in South Asia, where rising populations, rapid urbanisation, expanding economic activity and accelerating climate impacts are stretching freshwater systems to their limits. This book offers an in-depth examination of India`s water security challenges within this complex and evolving context.
