| Summary/Abstract |
The quick study in West Bengal indicates lot of institutional issues in decentralized management of water supply. GOI has been promoting demand driven PWSs for which Swajal guidelines have been issued recently. However, the country has a huge stock of PWSSs which have been established in a supply driven mode and now the responsibility of running those schemes are being handed over to the GPs.

| Summary/Abstract |
It is imperative to analyse the Chinese hydro-political behaviour in a manner that can clearly reflect the downstream concerns, so that the riparian nations manage and prevent the adverse impacts of development occurringin the upstream. The political, economic and human security concerns are to be included in the existing hydro-political framework by adopting wider diplomatic solutions. a

| Summary/Abstract |
In Indian tradition, the knowledge was transmitted through practical work under the direction of respected elders and gurus. Thus the people engaged in practical work were really the pupils of the indigenous knowledge system. The poor pupils, the prosperous pupils, and the State joined hands for the conservation of water and the preservation of knowledge.

| Summary/Abstract |
With no recognized political boundaries for international rivers, South Asia is trying hard to cope with the growing tension over trans-boundary water claims and frequently arising water conflicts (transboundary as well as domestic). History has it that political divisions created between riparian States have been the cause of contention of rights over river systems. Several country claims (on the right to use the ratio of surface water) are long pending to get resolved and many old claims have resurfaced.

| Summary/Abstract |
Water is a resource essential for existence of life on the planet. With over 97 % of water available on Earth being unfit for human consumption, it is a very precious resource. Increasing population is leading to heavy increase in demand for water and it is increasingly becoming a cause of conflict amongst nations. Closer home in India, we have only 4% of world’s renewable water whereas our population is over 18% of the world population. Agriculture in India is heavily dependent either on river water except during monsoon season.

| Summary/Abstract |
Water resources are one of the vital natural resources to mankind. Its scientific management and judicious use are also important and it requires the unbiased information regarding the water resources. Remote sensing data have widely used in groundwater assessment, monitoring and mapping. Near-real time and reliable information about groundwater is prerequisite for meeting the demand for drinking, domestic and industrial use.

| Summary/Abstract |
Freshwater is fundamental to human beingsurvival, and to the functioning of the ecosystems that supports life. As our population expands, so does the pressure on water consumption. To guarantee future supplies of fresh and clean water, we need to use it more cautiously. Conserving water resources is increasingly important for giving secure future to coming generations. We should save water even in areas with no shortages.

Water related conflicts have a long history and will continue to be a global and regional problem. As water scarcity in both China and India worsens with rapid economic development and population expansion, the competition over shared water resources in Transboundary Rivers, particularly the Brahmaputra will intensify.

| Summary/Abstract |
In this study, the challenges and opportunities of water resources development and management in the Abbay basin had been critically analyzed. To this effect, case study research design and relevant theories of water resources management had been employed. The finding showed that first and second order scarcity of water resources, trans-boundary nature of the river, lack of adequate and relevant information; economic and legal challenges, domination of sectoral and project based approach and lack of capacity are factors which have been posing significant challenges to water resources management and development in the Abbay basin.
