Thinking About Water in Uncertain Times is a collection of six essays on water and conflicts, produced through the work conducted by the authors at the Water Programme at National Institute of Advanced Studies (NIAS), Bangalore. Research at this programme has included inter-state transboundary water sharing and conflict resolution, the foundation of zonal water partnerships and the development of interdisciplinary knowledge in relation to transboundary water sharing. The aim of this work has been to develop context-specific, multidisciplinary knowledge including social, economic, cultural, legal and political aspects of water sharing and conflicts. The essays in this volume discuss important issues involved in water sector in India. These include various sectoral usages of water; the deepening crisis of groundwater; the river interlinking project; integrated water resource management (IWRM); conflict resolution mechanisms and institutional reforms for resolving conflicts over transboundary rivers; watershed development work in the mission mode; and emerging livelihood-related concerns in watershed development.
