Narayanan Oration on the theme ‘India’s Prospects in the Post-Crisis World’, at The Australian National University, Canberra on 29 November 2010. The Indian economy has weathered the global financial crisis of 2008–09 quite well. At a time when several other economies of the world have slowed down, India continues to register high rates of growth. This year, it is poised to continue its high growth trajectory. There is growing interest in the Indian economy and its development model. I have no doubt that the oration will go a long way towards addressing this interest, focusing on the challenges and the opportunities shaping the Indian economy and its growth and development in the years to come. 287 TWENTY K .R . NARAYANAN Orations I wish the oration all success. Pratibha Patil New Delhi 18 November 2010 288 India’s Prospects in the Post-Crisis World Montek Singh Ahluwalia It is a privilege for me to deliver the K.R. Narayanan Oration this year. I had the pleasure of knowing President Narayanan before he became president of India, and have very warm memories of his kindness and gentleness of character, and also his deep insight into social problems. I first met him in 1985 when he joined the government as minister of state for Planning in the government of Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. I happened to be a civil servant in the prime minister’s office at the time and I remember asking him how it felt to move from a distinguished career as a diplomat into the very different world of politics.

I INTRODUCTION 1-11 II INTRODUCTION OF MAJOR CITIES 12-37 III HYDROCHEMISTRY 38-61 IV CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATIONS AND 62-71 ACTION PLAN PHOTO PLATES 72-73 CHAPTER-I INTRODUCTION Water is the gift of nature making life possible on our planet. It is variable in quality and availability, and fluctuates from season to season and from year to year. Its availability is largely dictated by climate. India is blessed with abundant water resources, which are unevenly distributed in space and time. When one part of the country is reeling under severe water scarcity whereas, floods damage in another part. This creates economic losses as some parts of the country do not have enough water even for raising a single crop and in other parts excess rainfall plays havoc due to floods. Moreover demand for water is ever increasing with the increase in population and water is likely to become one of the limiting resources as well as one with multiple uses. The Girna river originates at Kem Peak in the Western Ghats range of Nashik District, and flows east across Nashik District and is joined by the Mausam River and then east into Jalgaon District where it then swings north to join the Tapti River.
