In the backdrop of the gravity of groundwater crisis that threatens to engulf the country, the book examines the correlation between the imperfections in the law and water crisis and advocates a reform agenda to overhaul the legal framework. It accomplishes this objective by examining how some of the States and Union Territories regulate and manage groundwater through the legal instrumentality against the backdrop of the two conflicting paradigms: the elitist and the egalitarian. The book's fundamental premise is that despite being an extraordinarily critical resource that supports India's burgeoning population's ever-increasing water demands, groundwater is abused and mismanaged. The key argument that it posits is that the elitist paradigm must give way to an egalitarian one where groundwater is treated as a common property resource. To place this message in perspective, the book's introduction explains the dichotomy between the two paradigms in the context of groundwater. This sets the stage, after which the book is divided thematically into three parts. The first part deals with some of the general groundwater management concerns brought to the fore by the operation of the elitist paradigm. Since water is constitutionally a State subject, the second part analyses the groundwater legislations of different States and Union Territories set against their unique circumstances. As these laws do not dismantle the elitist paradigm that interlocks groundwater rights to land rights, the next part articulates the legal reform agenda where a case is made to re-engineer groundwater laws to reflect a more sustainable basis. The findings and arguments resonate with the situation in many developing countries around the world due to which the book is a valuable resource for researchers across disciplines studying this area, and also for policy makers, think tanks, and NGOs. 001438501 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (SpringerLink, viewed August 4, 2021). 001438501 650_0 $$aGroundwater$$xLaw and legislation$$zIndia. 001438501 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001438501 7001_ $$aKhan, Sarfaraz Ahmed,$$eeditor. 001438501 7001_ $$aPuthucherril, Tony George,$$eeditor. 001438501 7001_ $$aPaul, Sanu Rani,$$eeditor. 001438501 77608 $$iPrint version:$$tGroundwater law and management in India.$$dSingapore : Springer, 2021$$z9811626162$$z9789811626166$$w(OCoLC)1246350483 001438501 852__ $$bebk 001438501 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-981-16-2617-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001438501 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1438501$$pGLOBAL_SET 001438501 980__ $$aBIB 001438501 980__ $$aEBOOK 001438501 982__ $$aEbook 001438501 983__ $$aOnline 001438501 994__ $$a92$$bISE
