I do not think that laws are going to make basic changes in the water sector in India. What is needed is the comprehensive clear concepts and solutions based on ground realities, not the law. The question is what are the basic causes of water problems in India, their diagnostic analysis and the proper solutions. Lot of work has been done. But much more is still to be done. The diagnostic analysis of existing projects will help to know the real problems and the probable solutions should be discussed and implemented phase wise.
