2 INDIA INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT 2011 Water: Policy and Performance for Sustainable Development Three quarters of Indians live in water-stressed regions. The situation is worsening with growing demand and ineffi cient water usage while the availability of clean water is declining due to overexploitation of groundwater and pollution of water bodies. Climate change would exacerbate the problem. The widening water gap could have serious ramifi cations such as constrained INDIA INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT INDIA INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT development, food shortages, and increased confl icts unless a new approach is taken towards eff ective water resource management (WRM). The India Infrastructure Report 2011 (IIR 2011) focuses on the theme of ‘Water: Policy and 2011 Performance for Sustainable Development’. The Report analyses: • the water situation in India, Water: Policy and Performance for • climate change and implications on WRM, • dimensions of confl icts related to water, Sustainable Development • the rights–policy–legal–institutional framework for the sector, • sectoral practices, policies, programmes, and institutions, and their eff ectiveness, • international experiences in achieving better water service delivery, and • techno-economic and regulatory aspects of water conservation. The Report is a collective eff ort of contributors affi liated to universities, NGOs, think tanks, and private and government agencies, coordinated by Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IDFC).

One of the important functions of the NGRBA is to prepare and implement a Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). A Consortium of 7 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) has been given the responsibility of preparing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP) by the Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), GOI, New Delhi. Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) has been signed between 7 IITs (Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee) and MoEF for this purpose on July 6, 2010. This report is one of the many reports prepared by IITs to describe the strategy, information, methodology, analysis and suggestions and recommendations in developing Ganga River Basin: Environment Management Plan (GRB EMP). The overall Frame Work for documentation of GRB EMP and Indexing of Reports is presented on the inside cover page. There are two aspects to the development of GRB EMP. Dedicated people spent hours discussing concerns, issues and potential solutions to problems. This dedication leads to the preparation of reports that hope to articulate the outcome of the dialog in a way that is useful.

SALMAN M.A. SALMAN & KISHOR UPRETY Hydro-Politics in South Asia: A Comparative Analysis of the Mahakali and the Ganges Treaties ABSTRACT The numerous problems raised by the management of water resources are currently receiving ever-greater attention from governments around the globe. These problems stem from the fact that water resourcesare qualitativelyand quantitatively limited, and that opportunities for the exploitation of these resources abound. These factors have led to an increasingneed to adopt an integratedapproach to the development of water resources. In this context, the triangularrelations between Bangladesh, India, and Nepal in South Asia posit an intriguingand unique set of circum- stances that illustrates the effect that the practices of one country can have on other surroundingcountries. India has significantly shaped theforeign economic relationsbetween India andBangladesh and India and Nepal, especially insofar as water resources develop- ment and cooperation are concerned.

LONGFELLOW. o b a : $ m ]t PRINTED AT THP: EDUCATION SOCIETY'S PRESS, BYCULLA. INTRODUCTORY NOTE. FOR some time past it has been felt by the friends of Mr. Gaorishankar, European as well as Native, that it would be" desirable to have some record of his life and work. In compliance with this desire, I undertook to compile a short account of him from such materials as were available to me. These were not so full and ample as I could have desired. They were wanting in that essential element which gives its chief interest to a work of biography, namely, private correspondence. On this account nobody is more sensible than I am of the imperfect nature of the present sketch, and my only reason for permitting its publication is that it is better to have some record, however wanting in fulness, of the work done by the first living statesman of Kathiawad, now in retirement as a Sanyasi, than to have none at all. Since writing this sketch, however, I am glad to say that my friends, Messrs. Vajeshankar and Prabhashankar, the two worthy sons of Mr. Gaorishankar, have, at my suggestion, undertaken to arrange systematically the whole of the correspondence, records, and papers, in in of the English and Gujarat i, which are the possession family, and may serve to elucidate the career of their illustrious father.
