As far as my knowledge goes, there are no laws in India on Quantity and quality of water. However there are " treaties" between different state Govts / Central Government for sharing of water. Most of the times judiciary has to intervene to interpret and many times to solve the disputes. Some states have laws on the ground water extraction but they are poorly implemented. On the pollution control side there are laws by Center as well as States. But the implementation is again lax.
