Million Revolts’ in
the Making
Water conflicts in India have now percolated to every level. They
are aggravated by the relative paucity of frameworks, policies and
mechanisms to govern use of water resources. This collection of
articles, part of a larger compendium, is an attempt to offer analyses
of different aspects of water conflicts that plague India today.
These conflicts, scale and nature, range over contending uses for
water, issues of ensuring equity and allocation, water quality,
problems of sand mining, dams and the displacement they bring in
their wake, trans-border conflicts, problems associated with
privatisation as well as the various micro-level conflicts currently
raging across the country. Effective conflict resolution calls for a
consensual, multi-stakeholder effort from the grassroots upwards.

What a marvellous sight it is to watch your
secular regimes wagging their tail!
You will draw water upstream
And we downstream
Bravo! Bravo! How you teach
chaturvarnya even to the water in your
sanctified style!

Water Conflicts: The Context
“
Rivers should link, not divide us”
said the Indian prime minister
Manmohan Singh while inaugu-
rating the conference of state irrigation
ministers on December 1, 2005.2 He ex-
pressed concern over interstate disputes
and urged state governments to show
“understanding and consideration, states-
manship and an appreciation of the
other point of view”. Ponnala Laxmaiah,
irrigation minister of Andhra Pradesh,
returned from the meeting only to be hauled
over the coals the next day by Janardhan
Reddy, his party senior, over the so-called
Pothireddy Padu diversion planned to divert
water to chief minister Y S Rajashekar
Reddy’s native district.3 MLAs from his
own party in the Telangana region have
declared that they will oppose this water
used by one is a unit denied to others;
(iii) it has multiple uses and users and
involves resultant trade-offs; (iv) exclud-
ability is an inherent problem and very
often exclusion costs involved are very
high; (v) it involves the issue of graded
scales and boundaries and need for evol-
ving a corresponding understanding
around them. (For example –where does
the local end and exogenous begin and
what are the relationshipsbetween them?);
and (v) the way water is planned, used and
managed causes externalities – both posi-
tive and negative, and many of them are
unidirectional and asymmetric.
These characteristics have a bearing on
water-related institutions4 and have the
potential both, to trigger contention and
conflict thus becoming an instrument of
polarisation and exclusion, but also to
become an instrument of equitable and
sustainable prosperity for all those who
depend directly or indirectly on water for
their livelihoods.
There is also the issue of the relative
paucity of frameworks, policies and mecha-
nisms to deal with water resources. There
is a relatively greater visibility as well
as a greater body of experience in evolv-
ing policies, frameworks, legal set-ups
and administrative mechanisms dealing
with immobile natural resources, how-
ever contested the space may be. For
example, many reformists as well as
revolutionary movements are rooted in
issues related to land.
