Menrva's Summary
THE THESIS
This volume investigates the complex legal and institutional frameworks required to reform water governance in India within the context of national and international environmental standards. Edited by Philippe Cullet and a team of legal scholars, the text synthesizes diverse perspectives on water rights, irrigation, and groundwater regulation. It argues that current legislative approaches must evolve to address the intersection of human rights, environmental sustainability, and global trade implications. The contributors utilize a multidisciplinary approach to evaluate how international policy influences domestic water sector reforms.
