Water institutions are critical for enhancing the development impact of water resource management. But, considerable ambiguity and divergence persists as to the way they are to be approached and evaluated causing serious conceptual and policy distortions. Utilizing some recent developments in the literature on the subject, this paper presents a simple but generalizable framework for understanding, explaining, and evaluating water institutions and their change process. It uses an analytical decomposition of water institutions to show their endogenous and exogenous linkages, transaction cost approach to conceptually account for the role of various factors, and a stage-based perspective to shed light on the internal mechanics and dynamics evident in the process of water institutional change. Despite its analytical and theoretical orientation, the paper does have some major implications for the practical and policy dimensions of water institutional reforms. It indicates how the institutional design and implementation principles derived from the structure and context of water institutions can be used to promote reforms and demonstrates how a better understanding of the change process can lead to strategies for setting the overall reform climate, especially through public education, reform research, and institutional supply

Although the water supply and sanitation sector of the state of Karnataka in India has made significant progress in terms of area coverage and, to some extent, meeting consumption targets, two tasks, i.e. fulfilling the unmet backlog demand and meeting the water needs of future population, continue to remain as its major challenges. Based on an analysis of the data and information pertaining to the sector during 1999–2001, this paper aims to assess the financial capacity and reform commitment of the state to meet these sectoral challenges successfully. Towards this end, this paper (a) describes the current status and recent performance of the sector, (b) reviews the financial health of the sector including an estimation of the magnitude of budgetary subsidy, (c) discusses the causes for and consequences of subsidy growth; (d) identifies the issues and strategies for sectoral reforms including an evaluation of some recent reform initiatives and (e) concludes by highlighting the major implications for sectoral policy in the state in particular and India and other developing countries in general.

The success of development programs, including water resource projects, depends on two key factors: the role of underlying institutions and the impact synergies from other closely related programs. Existing methodologies have limitations in accounting for these critical factors. This paper fills this gap by developing a methodology, which quantifies both the roles that institutions play in impact generation and the extent of impact synergies that flows from closely related programs within a unified framework. The methodology is applied to the Kala Oya Basin in Sri Lanka in order to evaluate the impacts of three water-related programs and the roles of 11 institutions in the context of food security. The results provide considerable insights on the relative role of institutions and the flow of development synergies both within and across different impact pathways. The methodology can also be used to locate slack in impact chains and identify policy options to enhance the impact flows.
