Over the years, Indian water policy has evolved to take cognisance of new and emerging pressures on water resources. Both local and global actors have had a role to play in this. International discourses of integrated water resource management, gender, neo-liberalism and decentralization have had a bearing on how water resource policies have been framed and water issues prob- lematized. While emerging research has been able to throw some light on the nature of policy processes, the paper makes a more deliberate case for a discursive analysis of public policy to pave the way to understanding the nature and direction of water reforms in the country. Keywords Public policy • Governance • Reforms • Narratives • Discourses This book is a collection of chapters that examine critical issues and debates sur- rounding the governance and management of water resources in India. Recent decades have seen several paradigmatic shifts in the management and governance of water resources in the country. Focus has shifted from predominantly technical and hydrological issues to emphasise the social, economic and managerial. New para- digms such as Integrated Water Resource Management have come to infl uence how water is viewed as a resource with several dimensions, even as concerns are voiced over the relevance of this paradigm and its operationalization in Indian – and South Asian – contexts. Gender mainstreaming has acquired new emphases, though the gap between rhetoric and practice has tended to persist. The debates on issues of water rights, equity and justice have acquired new dimensions; the imperatives to address these issues seem to have become stronger. Increasingly, water scholars V.

Na rain have sought to explore the relationships between the technological, hydrological and social dimensions of water management. 1 The genesis of new paradigms infl uencing water resource policy and governance is a process in which both global and local actors have had a role to play (Narain et al. 2014 ; Narayanan et al. 2014 ). Donors and funders have played a critical role in infl uencing the nature and direction of what are popularly called “water reforms”. They have played a key role in propagating new discourses around water resource management. A case in point is the neo-liberal discourse propagated by the World Bank and other international agencies that paved way for a greater role for the free market in the allocation of water resources. The neo-liberal discourse was founded on the narrative of the weak and ineffi cient state, and the free market was seen as a natural and obvious alternative. While the state was seen as playing a key role in the allocation and management of water resources in the country till the late 1980s, the neo-liberal discourse paved the way for a greater role for the free market in the period after that. Operationally, this created space for new actors in the governance of water resources. This took the form of outright privatization, for instance, and spawned debates regarding its equity and justice dimensions (Urs and Whittel 2009 ). Autonomous forms of water markets have nevertheless functioned for sev- eral decades in the form of water tankers meeting the demand – supply gap for drinking water in cities, as well as groundwater markets meeting the needs of small- holder irrigators. Both these forms of markets have, however, functioned outside any regulatory environment, raising questions about their equity, effi ciency and sus- tainability implications (Shah 1993 ; Dubaash 2002 ; Prakash 2005 ). Along the continuum of state and market based allocation of water,

  • Brackets and Black Boxes: Research on Water Users' Associations
    Water Policy 6 (2004) 185–196 Brackets and black boxes: research on water users’ associations Vishal Narain Policy Analysis Division, The Energy and Resources Institute, India Habitat Centre, Lodi Road, New Delhi-110003, India. Fax: +91 11 24682144, 24682145; E-mail: [email protected] Received 10 January 2003; accepted in revised form 27 August 2003 Abstract This paper reviews the current state of research on Water Users’ Associations in canal irrigation. It argues that, while it makes several important contributions to our understanding of water institutions, collective action and local governance, it suffers from several weaknesses. Technology is treated as a black box. There is a very static and instrumental perspective. There is also a bracketing of the social relationships of which collective action is an expression. This paper concludes that further research is needed in order to understand the organizational dynamics of water users’ associations and how different technological conditions of water distribution influence the possibilities for collective action. Research is also needed on the interplay of the broader contextual factors under which water users’ associations operate and on the effects of WUA formation on social power relationships, water management and distribution practices. Keywords: Decentralization; Governance; Institutions; Irrigation management transfer; Water management 1. Introduction Farmer-managed irrigation systems have been in existence for several centuries. However, the current debate on farmer participation in government-managed irrigation systems originated in the 1970s. This debate became more prominent and dominated discourses on irrigation management in the 1980s. “The irrigation projects with their complex engineering and bureaucratic organizations can not be successful without the active participation of beneficiary farmers in the management process.

  • Periurban Water Use, Human Health and Well-Being. Emerging Issues in South Asia
    Internationales Asienforum, Vol. 43 (2012), No. 1–2, pp. 33–45 Periurban Water Use, Human Health and Well-being. Emerging Issues in South Asia VISHAL NARAIN Urbanization in the twentieth century Urbanization has been one of the most pronounced trends of the twentieth century. Rapid urban expansion in many nations – in particular the growth of small urban centers – goes hand in hand with the growth of what are called ‘periurban’ areas that combine ‘urban’ and ‘rural’ characteristics and present new challenges to urban growth management (Tacoli 2006). The mixture of urban and agricultural land use has been recognized as character- istic of the vernacular urban fringe of Asian megacities. This landscape has been variously called the ‘Desakota’ (McGee 1991), the rural-urban fringe or the periurban interface (Allen 2003; Narain & Nischal 2007). For the purposes of this paper, we refer to periurban in two different ways; first, to denote villages near the peripheries of expanding cities and second, to denote parts of cities that are away from the core, and located toward the peripheries. That is, they are within the jurisdiction of urban authorities, but located away from the centre. This distinction is important in understanding the implications of water use for human health and well- being; the major effects of urbanization on water use and human health in the former case occur through the gradual acquisition of the villages’ land and water resources for urban expansion, on account of which periurban residents lose access to water of sufficient quality and quantity. In the latter case, the effects come from lack of tenure or social exclusion, and the outcomes of a planning process that favors the core over the periphery.

  • Water Governance Futures in South Asia and Southern Africa: Déjà Vu All Over Again?
    Chapter 12 Water Governance Futures in South Asia and Southern Africa: Déjà Vu All Over Again? Douglas J. Merrey , Anjal Prakash , Larry Swatuk , Inga Jacobs , and Vishal Narain Abstract This chapter explores the likely trends and outcomes in water gover- nance by about 2030 in two regions: South Asia and Southern Africa. It addresses the question: What are the prospects for developing governance arrangements in the two regions that will lead to more positive outcomes in terms of sustainably improv- ing people’s livelihoods while conserving natural resources? It examines this ques- tion through three “lenses”: (1) “beyond disciplines”, (2) “beyond scales” and (3) “beyond ‘institutional’ hardware to ‘human’ software”. The two regions are cur- rently on different trajectories: the Southern African trajectory seems to be moving in a positive direction, in contrast with South Asia. The chapter discusses four fac- tors that go far to explaining this divergence: (1) the contrasting roles of the hege- monic countries, (2) the level of intercountry “trust” that has emerged in the two regions, (3) the roles of civil society and NGOs and (4) the roles of external facilita- tors. The chapter emphasises the importance of developing the human software – the “soft skills” of communication and shared values complementing technical competence – as the most critical driver of successful water resource governance.
