Abstract

"Water is not a commercial product like any other but, rather, a heritage which must be protected, defended and treated as such." Preamble to the European Union Water Framework Directive, 2000Water is a scarce and finite resource with no substitute, only upon which the existence of life on this earth depends. During the last century, the population of the world has more than tripled, from 1.6 billion to over 6 billion, while water resources have remained constant. According to the United Nations World Water Development Report, 2003, About 2 billion people in over 40 countries are affected by water shortages, more than 1 billion people lack sufficient and safe drinking water and 2.4 billion have no provisions for sanitation. To overcome this problem, for the first time United Nations Water Conference recognized "Right of water". declaring that "All peoples, whatever their stage of development and social and economic conditions, have the right to have access to drinking water in quantities and of a quality equal to their basic needs". In 2012 Union of India introduced the Indian water policy. According to the policy, Water needs to be managed as a common pool community resource held, by the state, under public trust doctrine to achieve food security, support livelihood, and ensure equitable and sustainable development for all. This study deals with importance of national water policies and its relevance with protections of environment and water as Right, or as a Need, or an Economic Good and analyzes legal developments in India, to illustrate some of the ways in which States have implemented a legal right to water.

Abstract

The Nile Story is one of immense challenges and remarkable achievements for the economic development of the region. It begins in 1999, when the ministers in charge of water affairs in the Nile countries agreed to form the Nile Basin Initiative (NBI). Between 2003 and 2015, the Nile Basin Trust Fund (NBTF) supported and coordinated cooperative work in the region, which has been delivered mainly through the NBI. This book, commissioned by the World Bank on the closure of the NBTF, captures some insights to this 15 year story, the role of the NBI, and how its many achievements have been made along the way.

Abstract

This report outlines a 3-year program to upgrade the knowledge platform for managing water resources in Central Asia. Its ultimate purpose is to enhance the ability of all countries to engage in evidenced- based dialogue on water and energy management. It focuses on regional actions, linking all five countries plus Afghanistan, but recognizes the essential role of national initiatives. It covers the core elements of a modern decision support system and, based on extensive consultations, supports a change in accessing, developing, and sharing information and analysis. The intended outcomes of the road map are to: (i) establish a knowledge platform that is accepted by countries as a basis for cooperative actions; (ii) enhance capacity and knowledge sharing at the national and regional levels; and (iii) directly improve management of water at national and transboundary scales.
