(Location: IWMI-India Call no: 333.91 G000 POS Record No: H0862)
This paper delves into institutional barriers of water supply such as pricing policies, laws, and agencies, as well as traditional planning and engineering practices. Water conservation challenges and opportunities for irrigation, cropping, industrial and urban cases are detailed. It concludes with a sensible discussion on "balancing the water equation," wherein the case is made for coupling our technological knowledge and experience with adjustment in policies, laws, and institutions to foster rather than discourage efficiency in water use. One of the distinctive features of the book is its organized review of 104 references selected from some of the best literature on the subject. In just a few pages, the author offers a global perspective, synopsis of key literature, prodigious number of examples and facts, and straightforward reading.
