Abstract

This chapter presents an overview of the chief contributions of the chapters presented in this book. Over the years, Indian water policy has evolved to take cognisance of new and emerging pressures on water resources. Both local and global actors have had a role to play in this. International discourses of integrated water resource management, gender, neo-liberalism and decentralization have had a bearing on how water resource policies have been framed and water issues problematized. While emerging research has been able to throw some light on the nature of policy processes, the paper makes a more deliberate case for a discursive analysis of public policy to pave the way to understanding the nature and direction of water reforms in the country.
