this book (in 5 chapters) highlights the significance of rural water management.  First chapter is based on secondary sources as it elaborates the contextual and conceptual aspects of water resource management. Remaining four chapters are case studies based on primary sources. In second and third chapter, six sample districts (approximately 40 villages) from Andhra Pradesh and Telangana have been taken to assess the water management at community level. Fourth chapter presents a macro level management of surface and ground water at Mirzapur district. Twenty per cent sample size has been taken to cover the whole area of selected sample district. For instance, if a block consists of 100 villages then primary survey has been conducted in more than 20 villages on random basis (every sixth village). Fifth chapter is a case study pertaining to ground water management of Allahabad District taking six sample villages.

Current international policy sees nature competing with human uses of water. Hunt takes issue with this perspective.

Cherrapunji, in northeast India, epitomises the contradictions of the water scenario on the blue planet.

Irrespective of the amount of water available, these will not be forth-coming unless there are appropriate institutions and corresponding incentives. Given the nature of the public sector water utilities in India, and many places around the world, the scarcity of drinking water in Cherrapunji is not an aberration, but an inevitable consequence of institutional failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contributors in this volume analyse the incentive structure of water supply systems.

The WHO estimates that 10 per cent of all diseases in the world each year are related to water quality and access issues, which could be prevented. The book based on a study of three Indian states—Madhya Pradesh, Odisha and Andhra Pradesh, looks at the catalytic role of village level institutions such as Village Water and Sanitation Committees (VWSCs) and Village Health and Sanitation Committees (VHSCs) in improving the water and sanitation facilities of the communities. The positive health outcomes largely depend on how various institutions, processes and programmes interact with one another.
