Abstract

Water pollution is a multifaceted issue that poses a great challenge to provide efficient water governance. One such challenge is the issue of pollution as it affects environment, health and quality of life of the people. Climate change is an additional pressure besides others viz. on fisheries, loss of habitat disturbance and so on. Climate change is said to be altering the structure of both the marine and freshwater ecosystems with serious implications for fisheries, food and livelihood security. The paper addresses issues of pollution, decline in species and its impacts on the livelihoods of the fishermen and institutional constraints in the Tungabhadra sub basin.
