Water conflicts in India have reached every level and divide every segment of our society political
parties, states, regions, sub-regions within states, districts, castes and individual farmers.
In countries with a federal structure of power, conflicts over the distribution and usage of water during
different times of the year are a constant source of tension. In India, the Kaveri river water dispute involves
the states of Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. The Krishna river water issue involves the states of
Maharashtra, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. These issues have resulted in tensions between these
states. The dispute over Ravi-Beas waters is between Punjab and Haryana (with Rajasthan as an additional
party). Water conflicts arise due to scarcity of water caused by faulty water management practices. Most of
the major rivers in India flow through more than one state.
